Casimero, Micah Ready to Rumble

By Carlos Costa

Filipino World Champion Johnriel Casimero (L) and unbeaten African challenger Duke Micah (24-0, 19 KO’s) successfully made weight for their hot WBO Bantamweight world title battle at the Mohegan Sun Saturday (Sunday morning here in Asia)

Both men looked 100% focussed, darn serious, and in fantastic shape during Friday’s official weigh-in ceremony.

The popular Pinoy from the charming seaside city of Ormoc in Leyte Province stepped on the scale at 117¾ pounds, just ¼ pound below the division’s limit; while his 29-year-old opponent Duke Micah from the great African Land of Ghana made 117¼ lbs., and the fighters are ready to rumble!

The challenger Micah is a dangerous glory-hungry warrior, but the more experienced, more ring savvy Casimero (29-4, 20 KO’s) is favourite to retain Belt.

The winner might go on to unify Bantamweight titles against sizzling Japanese WBA/IBF Kingpin Naoya Inoue (19-0, 16 KO’s).

Would he be Casimero or Micah? We shall find out soon.

The intense battle is part of the exciting 5 world-title cards promoted by Premier Boxing Champion (PBC), live worldwide on Showtime PPV.

May the Best Man Win.!!!
