Awesome fight! Briton WBO Bantamweight titlist Paul Butler (34-2, 15 KO's) and Japanese Superstar Unified WBA/WBC/IBF Bantamweight World Champion “Monster” Naoya Inoue (23-0, 20 KO's) are set to battle December 13 in Japan, a hot war for all Four Bantamweight Belts. Could not be better!!
What a fantastic Christmas gift to boxing fans!
Naoya punished and stopped Nonito, and wanted Casimero.
But as fans remember, the Ormocanon lost this golden chance to get this fight, as well as his WBO world title from a hard-to-understand situation last April in England... because of the use of sauna parlor, which is not allowed in Britain. Hmmmm... To my humble thinking, that is strange. To me, sauna is healthy. I have been inside saunas many times and it makes you feel good. But rules are rules.
But losing that world title cause of that was such a BIG sayang, right?
As a result, the hot bantamweight unification super fight will be between Naoya Inoue vs Pul Butler, and who do you think will get the big win?
Maybe Casimero could fight the winner? Hopefully! But of course, at this moment, nobody knows.
Naoya Inoue ravages and stops Nonito Donaire in his last fight. Fans hope to one day see Inoue vs Casimero. Will one day happen.
To me, Inoue vs Butler is a really exciting fight. I think the Monster might be too fast, too powerful, too accurate, too skilled for the British word Champion
But we have to see. Because we all we know that in boxing anything can happen, right?
May the Best Man Win!
