Casimero and Micah both make weight ahead of WBO title bout!
Tomorrow in the US we'll see WBO Bantamweight champion John Riel Casimero (29-4, 20) make his first defense of the title he won last year, when he stopped Zolani Tete. In the opposite corner to the Filipino is the unbeaten Duke Micah (24-0, 19), from Ghana.
Earlier today, ahead of their bout, the two men weighed in for their contest and both men made the 118lb limit with room to spare.
On the scales Casimero came in at 117¾lbs, which is slightly heavier than he was in his title winning performance last November, when he blasted out Zolani Tete in 3 rounds. He was also heavier than Micah was, with the challenger hitting the scales at 117¼lbs.
For Micah this is his first world title bout, and he's the very clear betting under-dog, but given his amateur pedigree and unbeaten record he will enter with real belief of becoming a champion after 7 years as a professional.
For fans wanting to watch this one it will be aired on Showtime PPV US and on Fite TV.
