Comments Thread For: John Riel Casimero Stripped Of WBO Bantamweight Title; Paul Butler Elevated From 'Interim' To 'Full' Champ

[1hourRun]

An argument was also raised that not only has Casimero previously used the sauna for fights in England without incident, so too has Butler included his drastic efforts to shed weight ahead of a June 2016 title eliminator where he ultimately missed weight but was disqualified for complaints of blurred vision and compromised health.

Butler ultimately paid a fine for the infraction but was otherwise permitted to fight before the aforementioned health hazards were brought to surface.

Paul Butler failed to make 118 when he challenged Emmanuel Rodriguez for the IBF bantamweight title, due to his failure to comply with the IBF weight-limit specifications Bulter was unable to compete for said title.

I dont know where I'm going with this but there is irony here, I need my coffee.

[just the facts]

Casimero lost to Jonas Sultan, that's all one needs to know.

After he knocked the equally overrated Zolani Tete out, suddenly he became much bigger in the minds of many.

None of which justifies an established champion (he won it in the ring) being stripped for using a sauna. Dumb rule and a corrupt organization.

[Elotero]

Paper champ got a gift decision over Rigo. Deserves to lose his title this way, for winning his title through Gibbons and his bribery. **** Sean Gibbons, **** casimero.

[Tatabanya]

a corrupt organization.

I still have to see an alphabet organization which is not...

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

He pulled out the fight twice. Correct decision.

Casimero just needs to go up to 122 at this point, Butler deserves the full belt and his cash out to get eviscerated by Inoue

[Nusky]

Should've been stripped for his ridiculous hairstyle alone

The same WBO that happens to do everything Arum says.......who also happens to have Inuoe? The same Inuoe that somehow managed to avoid Chocolatito, Estrada, Cuadras, and Rungvasai at 115......yet still ranked in the top 10 p4p?

Inoue never avoided anyone. If you follow the boxing you should know Chocolatito declined the Inoue fight. And after Chocolatito lost to Rungvisai, Rungvisai never wanted the Inoue fight. He was busy fighting Estrada. There's a reason Inoue is ranked not just top 10 p4p, he's top 5 in any decent p4p list. He's a great fighter who avoids nobody.

You don't just accidently not fight any of the top fighters in a division.....

And I don't care what any of these major networks rank Inoue. I saw him go life and death with an old Nonito, the same Nonito that Rigo beat years prior. Inoue does not deserve a top 10 spot, let alone to be top 5.

Donaire is an all time great. He didn't duck Rigo like everyone else at that time. Losing to another great fighter like Rigo doesn't take anything away from him.

Donaire is kinda like Inoue. Even their styles are very similar. He caught Inoue with a great shot in the second round. Before Donaire landed that shot, it almost looked like Donaire wouldn't make it to sixth round. That punch changed the whole fight. How can anyone not give a credit to Inoue for beating an all time great like Donaire?

And I suggest you to check Inoue's resume again. His last two fights wasn't against the best, I know. But let's not forget, he beat top fighters like Ryoichi Taguchi, Adrian Hernandez, Omar Narvaez, Kohei Kono, Jamie McDonnell, Juan Carlos Payano, Emmanuel Rodriguez. And rest of his resume is against mandatory title defenses because no other titlist wanted to fight Inoue.
