Butler, Inoue to Unify All Four Bantam Belts Dec 13 in Japan; Could Casimero be Next?

By Carlos Costa

Awesome fight! Briton WBO Bantamweight titlist Paul Butler (34-2, 15 KO’s) and Japanese Super Star 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 in just 2 rounds, and wanted Casimero.

But as fans remember, the Filipino 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.

Casimero the being striped by the WBO of his world title was a huge loss for the Filipino.

As a result, the hot bantamweight unification super fight will be between Naoya Inoue vs Paul Butler, and who do you think will get the big win?

Fans of Casimero hope that he could fight the winner. That is always a possibility. But of course, at this moment, nobody knows.

To hard-core boxing fans, Inoue vs Butler is a really exciting fight. Most thinking that the Monster might be to fast, to powerful, to accurate, too skilled for the British Word Champion

But fans have to wait till December to see. Because as we all know, in boxing anything can happy, right?

May the Best Man Win!
