Caballero called Molitor "pretty boy"...

One problem I can foresee for Molitor is that he has been cut in several of his fights, that could be a big problem with a puncher like Caballero.
I put Caballero by stoppage in the prediction contest, just a hunch really.
I could easily see Molitor keeping him off balance though and outboxing him. I can't say I'm blown away by Molitor but from what I've seen he seems solid. The thing with Caballero is sometimes his awkwardness leads to him being underrated.
And Molitor likes it...
"Your typical boxer might object to being referred to as a pretty boy, but not Steve Molitor. He's turning the verbal punch thrown at him by Celestino Caballero into a compliment.
"It's great," says Molitor. "It just goes to show how slick my defence really is.
"I've been boxing for almost 20 years and I've still got a pretty face. That's a credit to my defensive skills. I'm not all banged up like other guys."
Asked why he's been calling Molitor a pretty boy, Caballero said through an interpretor that "he's not a warrior who takes chances. He always fights careful and safe."
Caballero will have a four-inch height advantage over the 5-foot-7 Canadian. With his long reach, he says he intends to put Molitor away within six rounds.
"(Molitor) will be on the run all night long and, by the end, Caballero will be the super champion," said the Panamanian's trainer Francisco Arroyo.
"I'm not all banged-up and ugly like some of these other guys," said Molitor, while questioning why Caballero feels it is necessary to comment on another boxer's looks. "I don't know what they do in Panama, but I guess he is into judging guys. I don't know if he wants to fight me, or ... I'd better not finish that sentence."
Caballero, who takes a record of 30-2 (21 knockouts) into the ring tomorrow night, explained that he believes Molitor's "Pretty Boy" looks are the result of The Canadian Kid being afraid of getting hit and that his so-called "slick" style of fighting is more to do with the fact that Molitor "runs" from opponents.
