Molitor - Labarda

Apparently it's a tune-up fight for the proposed Molitor - Caballero unification bout which is being talked about for Nov. I've never heard of Labarda, apparently he's a former Olympian (2000) and he's unbeaten at 18-0, but his record is unimpressive at best. Apparently Molitor has a new trainer, I thought Chris Johnson was doing a great job with Molitor, does anyone know anything about Stephane Larouche? I know he trains Bute, but that's about it.

Is it this guy? Ceferino Dario Labarda

18-0 all in Argentina against guys with losing records. Hard to get excited about this one.

All the hullabaloo and where does he fight, Casino Rama. :shakehead: I'm glad it is in Canada, but wasn't the whole point to get him exposed to a broader base of fans?

I read yesterday about the new trainer. Oh well, look forward to the fight no matter what.

I agree that it's hard to get excited about it, but I think it's more of a stay-busy/tune-up fight until Caballero is ready to fight again in Nov. If that's the case, I can forgive the lackluster opposition.

Ceferino Dario Labarda never fought outside of his country with low KO percentage.

It should be a walk in the cake for Molitor.
