Former world champion John Riel Casimero faced a rough return to the ring after being outboxed by Kyonosuke Kameda of Japan in their highly anticipated ten-round bout on October 25, 2025, at the Bishkek Arena in Kyrgyzstan.
All three judges handed the fight to Kameda with scores of 99-92, 98-92, and 97-93, sealing a convincing unanimous decision victory. The result improved Kameda’s record to 16-5-2 (9 KOs), while Casimero fell to 34-5-1 (23 KOs).
From the opening bell, Kameda dictated the tempo with clean jabs, smart footwork, and sharp counterpunches that disrupted Casimero’s trademark aggression. By the middle rounds, the Japanese fighter found his rhythm — timing Casimero’s forward rushes with precise straight rights that repeatedly found their mark.
Casimero tried to rally in the fifth round, connecting with a few solid shots, but fatigue began to show. As the rounds progressed, Kameda’s composure and defense frustrated the Filipino slugger, who struggled to close the distance effectively.
In the final stretch, Kameda’s discipline and accuracy took over completely. Casimero pressed forward until the last second, but by then, the Japanese boxer was in full control — leaving Casimero bloodied and beaten at the sound of the final bell.
This victory serves as a statement for Kameda’s resurgence, while Casimero now faces tough questions about his next move after another setback in his once-promising comeback run.
