I was just asking. I'm not too fussed over this fight, but I personally thought Casimero-Lazarte was great, and the ending was insane, up and down kind of fight. I'll try give this fight a watch though, even if the ranking seems a little off here (IBF no.7 after 1 fight)

i'm interested in the fight, Joyi used to be one of the top at the 105....
I just hope they don't force Casimero to go there, I'm not a fan of Emperor's Palace

Probably a good fight but it's kind of nuts they are forcing a beltholder to fight a #7 who hasn't beaten anybody meaningful at 108, AND that the beltholder likely has to go to the challenger's home. I thought Joyi looked slow and very hittable vs Budler and I'd give Casimero the edge, even in S. Africa
