Size and power... that's right. That's why he's called Celestino "THE TOWERING INFERNO" Caballero...

I'll favor Caballero over any 122 lbs. boxers including Vazquez, Rafa, PDL, etc.

---

LMAO@Towering inferno! Wasn't he KTFO by Kordoba? Anyway,prime Vazquez and Marquez cut him down to his size within 6 round with their power and KTFO him out sometime in the next 6.After their wars against each other,whether that is the case remains to be seen.

---

Cordaba knocked him down but he went the distance, it was Jose Rojas that stopped him in 3. I thought his wins over Valbuena & Ortega were very solid victories. But I agree prime Vasquez & Marquez maybe even at this stage would take him out!

I guess Vazquez and Rafa were spent goods as a result of their 3 grueling fights... They're ripe for the picking by "Towering Inferno"...

I don't think so, Caballero's chin is still a question mark IMO. Against the power of both Vasquez & Marquez it'll be tested.

And I think it'll let him down against Marquez and Vazquez

It is listed as being set on boxrec, for whatever that's worth as boxrec has obviously jumped the gun before. Listed as being late next month

Would be a big jump in weight for Parra. I know he had problems making 112 but you would think the most he would jump would be to maybe 118. Instead he goes to 122 and fights a gigantic 122 pounder?

This might not come off though, a bit too early to tell.

Caballero is severely underrated. Cab by decision.

Been looking for the result of this fight...

Can't find it... :( It's 2 in the morning over there... :-\

I've read Caballero won via 12 round stoppage in a clinch filled fight but I can't verify that. Anyone else heard anything?

Good stuff Gamo...

I stood up until 12 trying to find the result but no luck...

Found this on fightnews...

Caballero still WBA champ!
Pelenchin stops Parra in 12th round at
WBA KO to Drugs Festival in Venezuela
WBC super bantamweight champion Celestino "Pelenchin" Caballero (29-2-1, 19 KOs) retained his title with a twelfth round TKO over former WBA flyweight champon Lorenzo Parra (28-2, 18 KOs) on Saturday night at the Domo de Ciudad OlÃ*mpica in San Juan de los Morros, Venezuela headlining the 18th edition of the "WBA - KO to Drugs Festival." Parra had some good moments early, but the nearly six-foot Caballero eventually wore down the smaller fighter and at the beginning of the twelfth round, referee Luis Pabon stopped the fight on the advice of the ring doctor due to a possible fractured jaw suffered by Parra. It was Caballero's fourth successful defense.

Fractured jaw... hmmnnn could be an impressive win by "The Towering Inferno"...

Damn. 1 foot height advantage by Caballero?

Lol!

This one seemed a bit inevitable, Parra was a great fighter but he was too small for Caballero. Really dissapointed by Parra's decision making, I know he was having a hell of a time making 112 but to go all the way up to 122, obviously I wasn't in his training camp but that sounds like a lazy problem really, at least he could have made 118. I mean he's what like 5'4, 5'3?

PAC made that 112 to 122 jump in 1999 after he lost his 112 title on the scale... PAC then KO'ed his first 122 lbs. opponent, just an average fighter and definitely not a Caballero...
