Re: Molitor-Caballero set for November 21
Ok, from what I can tell, Molitor was offered a fight with Conception on the undercard of Pacquiao-Diaz on the 28th. Molitor took a vacation after his last title defense (he's been fighting ever few months), and I presume that this fight would've come too soon after his last fight and the subsequent vacation. Conception also is not ranked by the IBF, who's belt Molitor holds. I think Molitor would handle Conception though, he's got a big height advantage and Molitor is a great outside fighter.

Im sure Conception will be ranked by the IBF soon enough for the fight to happen.Maybe next year?Damm that would have been a mouth watering bout between them both!

Caballero is a much bigger threat than Conception. I'm hoping that if Molitor unifies he'll fight one of the other belt-holders or Marquez, but if I'm being honest I don't like his chances against Vasquez or Marquez, unless they've destroyed eachother, which is possible.

No, I'm not going. I'd love to, but the fight is in Ont. and I live in B.C., several thousand KM away. You know, if I can find a cheap way to get there I might consider checking it out. I've never actually seen a live fight before.

Agreed 100%
Concepcion still has work to do IMO.
Sometimes these kids go up the rankings so fast that they really haven't been tested then once they go into the ring with Worl Class they fall apart. Concepcions time will come just not now.
Not to be an ass or anything... But the kids name is Concepcion and not Conception... ;D

Whatever the case was...
I also know as a fan alone that theres no money in Molitor-Concepcion.
Theres more money in a unification bout as we've come to learn.

I can't wait for Molitor-Caballero. Do you think he'd have a shot in another unification against Lopez (provided he beat Caballero)?

Crap!!
CFH,
I'm scared to say anything that goes against JuanMa....
Don't want him to make me eat crow again 'ya know. :D
But we'll see how things pan out. Most def. the DPDL win for JuanMa was huge. The only time I remember EVER seeing DPDL hurt was vs. Caballero yrs. ago...
Then JuanMa just batters him completely. Now that is fucking impressive.
People talk so much that DPDL was exposed and that DPDL was unskilled.
Well yeah, we all knew that I mean who didn't know DPDL could be outboxed?
What people needed to realize is the power that this kid JuanMa carries.
With that being said, I think this is your typical puncher vs. boxer fight.
Molitor is one of the more skilled guys in boxing today. Good movement, and he's a thinker hes always one step ahead of his opponents. It's for me to call right now might have to give it more thought.

I don't know, but it is being broadcast on TSN in Canada, so there should be a stream at least.
Molitor by close UD/SD after having to get up off the canvas.
Re: Molitor-Caballero set for November 21
Thanks for the info. Looking forward to this one. Us canucks don't have many homegrown fighters to root for.
