Kameda, who was on a two-fight skid before the fight, wanted to send a message and continued to deal damage to a now-bloodied Casimero, who couldn’t get anything going until the end of the fight.

The judges scored it 99-92, 98-92, and 97-93 for Kameda, putting to a halt Casimero’s 11-fight unbeaten streak.

Casimero dropped to a 34-5-1 win-loss-draw record, while Kameda got a much-needed win for his 16-5-2 resume.

The future remains uncertain for Casimero, who was eyeing a fight with Super Bantamweight World Champion Naoya Inoue prior to the loss.
