yeah you mean Ceferino Labarda on Aug 28 or 29 something like that. should be cake for Molitor
Fucking great. As a Molitor fan, Caballero's size, reach, and strength, combined with Molitor's recent lack of activity when he gets inside worry me. However, I think (hope) that he'll be able to outbox Caballero all night.
Here's hoping he doesn't overlook the guy he's fighting in Aug.
Molitor will beat Caballero.
Molitor UD and I think he beats Caballero pretty comfortably. :)
I like Steve Molitor.I watched him at the IBF challenge when he fought my local hero Hunter back in 10th of November 2006.How come he has been out of the lime light soo long anyhow...was it a injury that he picked up not so long ago?I remember someone mentioning it a while ago,but im unsure!Whats the record of Caballero anyhow?It would be great to see a stream of him on here due to the fact that i have'nt heard of him!
I would totally appreciate it!:)
Molitor has fought 4 times since the Hunter fight. He's been defending his belt in Canada.Quote:

You said Hunter was a local hero where you live, what has he been up to since Molitor KO'd him? I checked boxrec, and it says he's had two fights essentially against tomato cans, is he finished?
Conception is a powerful fighter no dought,he can dig!Whens the last he fought?Is he still unbeaten?Quote:

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!Quote:

Not to be an ass or anything... But the kids name is Concepcion and not Conception... ;D
Whatever the case was...Quote:

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)?Quote:

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.
An update to an old thread:
Unification in Canada!
November 21 at Casino Rama, broadcast live on Showtime and TSN.
Sweet this is gonna be a great fight, really looking forward to it.
Celestino "THE TOWERING INFERNO" Caballero finally got the big fight he fully deserves... Props to Molitor for agreeing to this fight...
At last this fight is finally on:DDoes anyone know if it'll be boardcasted on sky sport or setanta??
I don't know, but it is being broadcast on TSN in Canada, so there should be a stream at least.Quote:

Celestino "The Towering Inferno" Caballero
http://cache.daylife.com/imageserve/...Rc2DY/610x.jpg
Steve "The Canadian Kid" Molitor
On Nov. 21, everyone is going to get what they want,” Molitor said. “I’m fighting a legit champion in Celestino Caballero. He’s a world champion that can’t get fights because nobody wants to fight him. Well, guess what? I’m going to put everything I have on the line against the same guy that everybody is running scared from.”
Caballero has largely been avoided despite holding a title for two years. His range, knockout power and intimidating presence scare off most opponents.
“The Towering Inferno,” as Caballero is often called due to his near six-foot frame, does not mind going into Molitor’s backyard if it means adding a second title to his resume.
“When I won my WBA title [in 2006], I did it against Somsak [Singchachawan] in his home country of Thailand,” said Caballero, who is also a southpaw. “I wasn’t favored to win and the site was at some remote temple better accessible by helicopter than by the winding, narrow road that we took.
“No one gave me a chance to win and I ended up winning the belt by third-round TKO. Going to Canada for this fight isn’t a big deal. I’ve won big title fights in hostile territory before.”
Along with his triumph over Singchachawan, Caballero also holds a win against former WBO super bantamweight champion Daniel Ponce de Leon. His most recent defense was a first-round TKO over Elvis Mejia on Sept. 18, 2008.
Early results from FightNews poll favored Caballero both by knockout or decision. I'm also predicting Caballero by KO/TKO...

As a big Molitor fan this fight worries me. That being said, Molitor by close UD/SD. I wouldn't be surprised if he had to get up off the canvas to win.
This will be a huge test for Steve. I like that he took the fight, as it shows his ambition and desire to succeed. So yea, I will be rooting for him in a big way.
*meh. Cabellaro looks like 8 feet tall in that pic. :headscratch:
Your worries has solid basis... Caballero's range, freakish built and knockout power makes him one of the most avoided boxers... Props to Molitor for taking this fight...Quote:

As we've discussed, I think Molitor's movement will give Caballero problems, but getting inside on him and actually doing some damage without taking a ton of punishment in return will be his biggest challenge. I guess that's kind of an obvious statement though.Quote:

How is Caballero's inside game? I imagine it would be one of his weaker areas.
Not good throwing inside like most tall boxers but Caballero is good in clinching/hugging and pushing his shorter opponents... ;)Quote:

I know he has good power, but is it one-shot power or more accumulative?
From what I saw in his fights, if you got hit by one or two clean shots from Caballero and got wobbled then you're dead... Caballero with his range can easily tee off some long cracking shots to finish you off both to the body and head...Quote:

One more question, has he ever faced anyone who's style is comparable to Molitor's?
