    Well I'm just comingback to my senses just now...

    I went on a 2 day B-Day celebration drinking hoopala with friends...
    My B-Day was on the 22nd.
    I turned the big 21 if anyone cares.

    4 (1.75L) bottles of Jack Daniels were done and dusted between myself and 2 good friends of mine. We also tore up 2 bottles of Johhnie Walker.

    We played some records, hes got boxes full of wax and we just pulled out record after record listening to "Madness" My house, "Bowie" Changes, "Bowie" Lets Dance, Elton John "Bennie & The Jets", Peter Schilling, New Order, Depech Mode, The Cure, The Smiths, Cuttin Crew, B-Movie.
    He had enough records for us to be playing there until next week

    Anyway...

    Wow! I just saw the fight a while ago, Caballero came out gunz blazing. I think Caballero knew I thing that he did not want to let Molitor establish himself and CC did a great job at that he never let Molitor set himself. CC fought the perfect fight and that was his key to victory.

    My next question is can CC continue this or will he have a lackluster follow up fight as he tends to do? He'll look good in 1 fight and then look like shit in the next one?

    I think CC beats both Izzy and Rafa because I honestly think both guys are touched up already and are there for the taking.

    All in all and top win for CC.
    For Molitor he needs take his well deserved vacation and then comeback stronger then ever, the kids full of talent and it wasn't his night.

    I've thought for a while that Caballero was underrated cause he doesn't look like a fighter, he's real awkward, and even just look at him he's 6'0 he's got the Oscar armpit shorts and he even added a knee brace.

    I'm not sure I would say this was a surprise like some are, Caballero was the clearly more accomplished guy going in.

    Agreed, I'm not shocked at the win by CC.

    But I surely thought Molitor would win and do better then what he showed.

    I thought it would either be Caballero overwhelming him or Molitor making Caballero follow him around, lunge a bit and get out boxed and it turned out the first way. I picked Caballero but it was pretty close to a 50/50 thing, would not have been surprised by a Molitor win.

    The worst part about the fight for, aside from Molitor being outclassed, was that he showed a very questionable chin. I'd like to hear your thoughts on that. I thought Molitor was clearly hurt, both to the body and to the head, by nearly every clean (and some not so clean) punch that Cab landed. That has me most concerned for his future.

    CCs a hard puncher and anyone that gets caught is certain to get hurt even stopped. I dont think Molitor has a questionable chin.

    More then anything Molitor did not establish his game plan from the start which was get inside. Instead Molitor stayed at a distance where CC is most effective.

    Caballero was so much stronger, there were times when Molitor would try to clinch and Caballero would just toss him off.

    I'm not sold on his chin anymore, 3K Battery dropped him and he was hurt by every punch Cab hit him with. PDL was able to last 12 with Cab while taking more clean shots than Molitor did.

    Maybe I'm just pessimistic because one of my favorite fighters got absolutely destroyed, but I think any of the top guys in the division are going to be able to hurt him badly after watching this fight.

    Only thing that surprised me about this fight was the early stoppage. I thought Molitor would at least make it to the late rounds. But that's it. To me this fight was a mismatch. Caballero looked outstanding in beating an A level fighter in former champion Lorenzo Parra. Molitor looked good in beating an obscure C level fighter in Dario Labarda. To me Molitor is a decent fighter. But I saw nothing in him that would beat Caballero. To me the way to beat Caballero is with power. Molitor has none. He never had a chance

    Molitor was in survival mode from the first bell. Every punch seemed to hurt him. He had good movement but he stayed on the outside and paid dearly. Molitor wasn't even ko'd by flush shots. His chin seemed pretty shaky.
