Comments Thread For: Casimero-Akaho No-Contest Verdict Overruled By Commission, Casimero Awarded Knockout Win

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

John Riel Casimero's lone fight of the year was befitting of his bizarre 2022 campaign but ultimately ended on a high note. The Korea Boxing Member's Commission (KBMC) voted to change Casimero's previously declared No-Contest with Ryo Akaho to a second-round knockout win for the former three-division titlist earlier this month. The December 3 junior featherweight clash--which took place in Incheon, South Korea--saw Casimero have to contend with a controversial knockdown call and Akaho overselling a foul which ultimately ended their bout at 2:25 of round two.

Good for Casimero... He needed a break after all those mess..,.

When boxers start writing letters to commissions to admit they lost a fight (instead of getting a no contest), then times really have changed indeed.

Any chance of Tommy Hearns getting the win for the second Leonard vs Hearns fight?

gotta admire akaho and his team here...they could've just kept quiet and prevented a loss on akaho's record....good job too to korean boxing commission....now, go take care of business at 122 quadro alas!

akaho the nicest person in boxing right now.
casimero like floyd against ortiz, sucker punched akaho during a break.
very unsportsmanlike!

I disagree with this decision. I wonder what it took to 'admit' he lost.
