    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.

    Default Caballero-Molitor Super Bantam Unification on Nov. 21



    Celestino "The Towering Inferno" Caballero




    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.

    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...

    Good to see a Canadian for "The Canadian Kid"...

    Unlike those Mexicans rooting for a Philippino boxer... (joke)

    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.

    How is Caballero's inside game? I imagine it would be one of his weaker areas.

    I think Caballero dominates, call me crazy but the man is so hungry and ready to reprove why the man is ducked by many fighters.

    Caballero is no stranger in humiliating his opponent on their hometurf... He got his WBA belt in the jungles of Thailand, there's no reason he can't do the same to Molitor's IBF belt inside a fabulous casino in Canada...

    In terms of technical skills Molitor might be as well tought as anyone, I really hope he wins, he is the best fighter in Canada/from Canada, and I could see him giving anyone in the 122 pound division a tough fight except maybe Vazquez
