Former IBF light flyweight champion Johnreil Casimero is ?excited more than ever? for his mandatory challenge against flyweight champion Amnat Ruenroeng which takes place on Saturday at the Hua Mark Indoor Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
Trainer Jhun Agrabio told the New Standard/boxingmirror.com that Casimero who is chasing a second world title was just two pounds over the 112 pound limit and was to have a light workout yesterday afternoon doing ?a little jogging and working on the treadmill.?
He said making weight for the official weigh in at 11:00 a.m. on Friday ?is no problem.?
Agrabio said that Casimero has ?a great feeling? about the fight and while he knows that Ruenroeng ?is good and very fast? which helps his tactic of throwing punches and quickly moving out of trouble and ?won?t engage us? they have devised a plan to ?force him to engage.?
The trainer said they had no problem with the judges assigned by the IBF and that all they are looking forward is to a great fight and a victory.
Casimero has been training for over two months at the Roy Jones Gym in Las Vegas and feels in great shape for what is likely to be a tactical battle with well-known Filipino manager/promoter and trainer Aljoe Jaro working in the corner of Ruenroeng whom he steered to a smart win in his last title defense against the hyped Chinese two-time Olympic gold medalist Zou Shiming who was handled by Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach.
