I am a staunch believer in the cruiserweight division being the best and most competitive in the sport. Super flyweight or junior bantamweight or however you want to call it, meanwhile, is making a damn good case of its own.
Casimero (23-3, 15 KO) had previously enjoyed a solid run as the IBF light flyweight champ, a reign which began with a riot-inducing win over aging scumbag Luis Lazarte. The 26-year-old joins a division that already includes the likes of Roman Gonzalez, Naoya Inoue, Juan Francisco Estrada, Kal Yafai, Carlos Cuadras, and countryman Jerwin Ancajas.
With this kind of lineup, all that remains is to point them at one another and see which one’s still standing. Can’t wait.
