That 36 year old ‘ex champion’ was World Champion ATG Donaire who probably gave the fight of his life for his swan song bout
The only opponent Inoue hasn’t bombed out

I think you are underestimating Casimero.
He is a 3 division world champion just like Inouye and he won most of them fighting on enemy territory while Inouye has the luxury of mostly fighting at home.
Casimero is a road warrior winning 7 times in world title fights in 7 different countries which isn't easy to do. He even was involved in a riot in Argentina where he was nearly attacked by the fans, when he knocked out the local champion in a world championship fight and the fans started throwing chairs in the ring and began fighting.
If Casimero ever gets a chance to fight Inouye in Japan, it would be something that he is used to doing and has the utmost confidence of winning given his track record.
Nonito is a 4 division world champion and deserves all the acclaim he has received but he has mostly fought at home in the US where he is based and is now 37 y.o.
A younger Donaire at his peak would have been the favourite to beat all the current champions in the bantamweight division but he is way beyond his prime. Even at 37y/o though he gave Inouye everything he could take breaking Inouye's orbital bone and seriously hurting him in one of the middle rounds that Inouye had to hug him to survive.Last edited by cjeagle1; 12-01-2019, 03:23 AM.

Respect to anyone who called this upset. I didn't see this one coming. I was still hoping for Monster vs Tete.

Casimero is a beadt. On of the best finishers in boxing. Once he hurts you, he goes for the kill. This guy is not afraid of anybody. I hope he gets his fourth belt before he retires so that we will have 4 Boxers with 4 division championship belts joining Pacquiao, Donaire, Nietes. Hopefully because he is that good but just underated.
