FOR the third time in his career, Filipino pug Johnriel Casimero incurred a weigh-in debacle for his upcoming fight, this time going overweight in his super bantamweight bout against American Saul Sanchez in Japan.In the weigh-in on Saturday, Casimero went a kilo heavier than the 55.3 kilograms or 122 pounds limit as he tipped the scales at 56.33 kg or 124.12 lbs. Casimero still couldn't make the weight limit after his second try, weighing 55.9 kg or 123.23 lbs.
WBO stripped Casimero of his belt for not being able to defend the bantamweight title twice.Casimero last saw action on October 12 last year when he settled for a draw against Oguni, who sustained a gash in the fourth round that prompted the referee to stop the fight.Prior to that draw, Casimero, a former three-division world champ, was on an 8-fight win streak with the last of that run being a unanimous decision win over Nghitumbwa.
