A heavy favorite, former three-division world champion Johnriel Casimero suffers a stunning loss to Japanese Kyonosuke Kameda via unanimous decision
MANILA, Philippines – Kyonosuke Kameda outsmarted and outboxed Johnriel Casimero to win by unanimous decision in their 10-round super featherweight tussle on Friday, October 24 (Saturday, October 25, Philippine time) at Bishkek Arena in Kyrgyzstan.
Taller and rangier, the Japanese flicked jabs while moving away whenever the former three-division world champion tries to pin him to unload heavy bombs.
By the ninth and 10th rounds, Casimero had slowed down while Kameda kept his pace and earned the nod of the three judges, 98-94 twice, and 97-95 once.
Kameda, who has lost his last two bouts before the Casimero fight, raised his record to 16-5-2 with 9 knockouts.
The 36-year-old Casimero, who last fought a year ago, dropped to 34-5-1 with 23 knockouts, failing in his bid to reenter the contenders in the four major sanctioning bodies — WBC (World Boxing Council), WBA (World Boxing Association), WBO (World Boxing Organization), and IBF (International Boxing Federation).
Installed as the heavy favorite with 92 chances of winning, Casimero rocked Kameda a few times, but the Japanese was never in danger of getting knocked out. – Rappler.com
