The three-division champion Philippines' Casimero (30-4, 21 KOs), fighting in his United States televised debut, dropped Micah (24-1, 19 KOs) early in the second round with a left hook, and consistently used his right hand in devastating fashion to finish off the Brooklyn, N.Y.-trained Micah, a 2012 Ghanaian Olympian who suffered the first loss of his career. It was a complete performance for Casimero, who said after the fight that he's ready for all the top 118-pound fighters in the division. "I hurt him in the second round with an uppercut, but I knew I was facing a good fighter," he said. "I didn't expect to knock him out so fast. He's strong, so I was prepared to go all 12 rounds. "I'm the real monster. Naoya Inoue is scared of me. He's next. I would have knocked out anyone today. If Inoue doesn't fight me, then I'll fight Guillermo Rigondeaux, Luis Nery, or any of the top fighters." #Casimero #CasimeroMicah #JohnRielCasimero Visit PremierBoxingChampions.com for more info.
