Thread: Celestine Caballaro's next fight: August 4th on Showtime

He's like the Paul Williams of the lower weights,freakishly tall,gangly,can box or brawl and has some good wins. His opponent will be the 29-year old Jorge Lacierva (32-6-6, 22 KOs). Anyone know much about the Jorge?

Lacierva's not a total bum but the last time I saw him he was getting broken down by Cruz Carbajal, not a bad fighter at that time and weight, and I'm pretty sure he quit. Or his dad threw in the towel, something. Either way, he started well and then started getting punished.

I don't see any reason to think Caballero will lose. Its not really that much to get excited about.

Yeah,it doesn't sound that exciting,but for Celestine,it's an oppertunity to show his skills to a larger audience so I hope he fights to impress. Have you seen many Caballaro fights?? Any of his losses?

I haven't seen that many. I've seen the Ponce de Leon fight, his fight against some dude whose name I forget I think in his next fight after that. Then his fight with Somsak. Missed the last one.

I guess I haven't seen him lose. I know he lost to a guy that's from his country that's supposed to be pretty good, seems like his last name was Cordoba, maybe.

I think his nickname is "Towering Inferno" - I have to give him props just for coming up with something unique like that.

Yeah,Celestine lost to Ricardo Cordoba who looks decent but not as good as I heard. I've seen Cordoba v Wladimir Sidorenko twice,decent fights.

I'm just glad to be seeing Caballero fight on a decent stage, I've seen bits and pieces but will enjoy a proper chance to see what the noise is about. I struggle to know what a fighters like until I've seen them box live.

I saw his last fight(can't remember the name of his opponent) but he handled him in impressive fashion
Bit off a dangerous style though but very entertaining
