I thought it was closer than the points but I started late. It was silly and it is a bad night.I should have started a bit earlier. I gave him too much time in the first few rounds. I thought I did enough to maybe nick it at the end but in the first few rounds I didnt do enough.Casimero KOs Edwards, retains flyweight titleFlyweight titleholder Johnriel Casimero (23-3, 15 KOs), who regained his belt in a fourth-round knockout of Thailands Amnat Ruenroeng on May 25 in China in a rematch of his title loss 11 months earlier, retained his belt for the first time in a dominant 10th-round knockout of Englands Charlie Edwards (8-1, 3 KOs).Edwards, who was a top amateur, got a world title shot after just 18 months as a pro but the inexperience of the 23-year-old showed.

I respect Charlie for his effort but he needs some more experience before fighting on this level. With more experience he can be a world champion, Casimero said.
