I prefer Jonas Sultan fighting another elite fighter rather than fellow Pinoy.

Wait, is this an eliminator at bantam or super fly? This says bantam, but both guys are in the top 10 in the superfly rankings. Either way, I favor Casimero in this fight. Don't know how much I would like his chances against one of the champs though. Wouldn't mind seeing a trilogy with Ruenroeng

Sultan by KO casimero cant handle the power in higher division

It should be @ 115 as superfly is also considered jr. bantam weight moreover according to recent reports Johnriel Casimero vacated the flyweight title and is pursuing a showdown with fellow Pinoy and 115 jr. bantamweight champion Jerwin Acajas to become three weight world champion -- I could be wrong but I doubt hes going to pull a Inoue by leaping over a division.

I was pleasantly surprised that this fight is apart of Milan Melindo vs. Hekkie Budler for coincidentally Casimeros previous title ( IBF Lightflyweight championship ). Great card.
