CHARLIE EDWARDS TRAINER SAYS HE?LL USE BIG RING TO STAY AWAY FROM POWER PUNCHES OF IBF CHAMPION CASIMERO
By Ronnie Nathanielsz PhilBoxing.com Fri, 09 Sep 2016

The trainer of unbeaten Charlie Edwards who faces IBF flyweight champion Johnreil Casimero on Sunday at 1:00 a.m. Manila Time on a Sky Cable Philippines pay-per-view telecast has said his fighter will use the large ring set up for the Gennady Golovkin-Kell Brook main event showdown to help Edwards stay away from the powerful punches of Casimero.
Danny Vaughn admitted in an interview with Sky Sports in London that Casimero is ?a big puncher with both hands and likes to let the big shots go and we are in for a tough night.?
But he said the big ring ?will suit us as Charlie will keep it tight for the first three or four rounds? with his extensive amateur background coming into play.
He noted that Casimero ?has no respect for Charlie? and plans to ?keep on the move because you can?t hit what?s not there. We know he (Casimero) is going to come after Charlie and we?ll see what he brings. We will keep moving, keep him on the back foot? as Casimero ?will try to walk through him.?
Edwards had earlier claimed that Casimero was slow on his feet and he would use his speed to capitalize on Casimero?s weakness but in the public workout at the Covent Garden in London on Thursday, Casimero showed remarkable hand-speed while working on the punch-mitts with veteran trainer Jhun Agrabio.
Well known promoter Sammy Gello-ani told The Manila Standard that promoter Eddie Hearn of Matchroom Sport had told Casimero, ?don?t rush, give us time to enjoy the fight.?
The referee for the title fight will be Steve Gray of Lancashire, England while the judges named to the fight are Glen Hamada of Washington, USA, Michael Alexander of Doncaster, England and Atty. Danrez Tapdasan of the Philippines.
The official weigh-in will take place at 1:00 p.m. today British Standard Time at the Indigo of the O2 Arena on Peninsula Square, London which will be 8:00 p.m. in Manila.
