Molitor - Caballero in the works?

[killersheep]

Well, all right then. I'll fax you over the contract as soon as I have drawn it up.
Seriously though, how well do you think Gonzalez will be able to compete in the division? He's already lost to Vazquez, would you give him much of a chance against Rafa?

His fight against Vazquez was an absolute war. Gonzalez gassed out, and Izzy's heart won the day. But scoring two knockdowns early on against Vazquez is a respectable feat I think. Rafa would be an interesting challenge as well, I'd have a hard time picking my boy to beat Rafa as I rate him extremely highly, probably the best boxer/puncher in the game right now. It's a really tough division there is a lot of talent there. Jhonny does have two big advantages his reach and his power, he is freakishly large for that division, I think only Caballero is taller, but he has nowhere near Gonzalez's power. So he definately has a chance against anyone in that division. I have only been dissapointed in Gonzalez in one fight and that was the one against Montiel, both guys got extremely timid and showed far too much respect for each other I think there were 10 "feeling out" rounds.

So you get your boy, And I'll get mine and we'll have them slug it out in neutral territory (like Tucson, AZ)

Heheh, maybe we can find a location somewhere between B.C and AZ so we can travel an equal distance to see the fight.

That's one of the problems I have with Molitor right now, he seems to be in no hurry to leave the comfort of Rama. Which is fine as he's just been facing manditory challengers, and he's already shown he can win in a hostile environment (the Hunter fight), but some of the other title holders may well balk before going onto Molitors territory for a unification bout. From what I heard about the prospective Caballero fight they're trying to entice him to come to Canada to fight. Since their both belt-holders, IMO it should be in neutral territory. Plus, I'd hate to see Molitor get a shady, hometown decision.

I haven't seen much of Caballero aside from highlights of the PDL and Sithchatchawal fights. Do you think he would give Molitor a lot of trouble? I think he would based purely on Molitor's most recent fights where his inside game is poor, something I feel he definately needs to improve to beat a freakishly tall and long guy like Caballero.

The Vazquez fight was awesome, from what I saw Gonzalez was just overpowered at the end. Like you said he gassed out.

I don't think Molitor will have too many problems with Caballero, if you think Molitor's inside game is bad.................Molitor has the exact style to foil Caballero IMO, I think his ring generalship will be the key all night.

Well halfway would be Carson City, NV yikes, not much there, we could compromise to say Vegas?

Vegas sounds good to me.
I don't necessarily think Molitor's inside game is bad, it's just been non-existent in his last few fights. Could've been part of the gameplan, but the vast majority of the times when his opponents got inside he just tied them up.
