Inoue: "I became interested in fighting Casimero." ... tbh

Casimero had a fast, devastating right hand three punches combo: to the body, to the temple, to the jaw...

Tete never got his equilibrium back after that first punch which kinda landed on the side of his head from 3/4 behind. I'm not sure if it should have been a point off for Casimero, but it surely wasn't DQ worthy which makes it a moot point. From that moment on Tete was cooked.


EDIT: Damn my fkn keyboard. Not been right since the lil'un spilled PVA all over it a few weeks back.

tete has been overrated from the beginning because he's freakishly tall for a bantamweight. he's does not have world class skills! tete also has a horrible chin.

Overated by whom? He's good fighter and rightfully a top 10 - maybe top 5 - Bantam. I don't think I've seen anyone claim more than that about him.

Nice upset for Casimero glad he took out the African but Inoue is something else.

John Riel was ready to Tete, you don't land on Zolani with such precision. Casimero has been underrated.

Both champion and challenger were attempting to establish lead foot dominance, Casimero is very experience and has been known to get rough if thats what it takes to win. I noticed that as Zolani Tete would try to place his lead foot on the outside, Casimero would discourage that by stepping on Tete ; a veteran tactic.

If you study the film just before the knockdown, John Riel tapped Tete's foot with his own, like warning him and that distracted Tete for just long enough for Casimero to place his foot on the outside and get behind Zolani's right arm and provided full range to unload.

A rematch would likely play out the same.

Nice detail, man, I'd missed that at the time.
