Will Inoue take Casimero's bait?

BOXER SHORTS

FOR what it's worth, John Riel Casimero is trying to tell anyone who is willing to listen that he is the only boxer who can beat Japanese superstar Naoya 'The Monster' Inoue in the bantamweight (118 lbs) division.

Casimero (31-4, 21 knockouts) recently dared Inoue (23-0, 20 knockouts) to step in the ring with him, adding that he plans to avenge the knockout defeat countryman Nonito Donaire Jr. suffered in the hands of the Japanese puncher on June 7.
