Dude, Shane said close UD or SD in Canada, which means a W is far from concrete. Molitor looked like he didn't train for a tall, rangy, akward, fighter that keeps on coming, he had no chance.
Btw, anyone that has Telemundo should check out Martinez-Vazquez.
Thanks for defending my pick, lol. The last time I saw Caballero I just wasn't impressed man. I think it was the Lacierva fight or someone like that.

Same here. Really impressed me.
I am too man.
Haha, the guy never really looks impressive, except the Somsak fight where he did show solid technique. It's just that when you are 5 11' at 122 with good power, experience, decent technique, and an awkward style, it'll be hard for anyone at 122 to beat you.
It helps that Molitor only had a plan A, trying to time Caballero, when Celestino was clearly beating him up. Not only that, but he was doing the Cotto by dancing straight back until his back was on the ropes, except Cotto actually won some rounds.
I've followed Molitor and have watched all his title defences since I live in Canada and taht was singlehandedly Molitor's worst performance defending the title to date...it was hard to watch, he was nervous and it was obvious he couldn't handle the pressure and lost confidence after the first 2 rounds of the fight. I just HOPE Molitor can bounce back from this, he's a goood kid hopefully he can use this as a stepping stone and gain experience from this. I won't let this fight dictate how goood I believe Caballero really is, put him in the ring with Vasquez or JuanMa and I think his weak defence will get exposed big time
If you going to beat Cabellero you need power. Molitor doesn't have any. I told Shane Caballero was going to puinish him. And he did.
Yeah you were right. Props.

Man I've seen Molitor three times, and I agree. I've never seen him look this bad, but you can't take anything away from Cab. He was ballin.
Like I've been saying for a while now, Caballero's size advantages while not as publicized as Paul Williams' are just as pronounced, if not more so, for the division in which he fights. I enjoy the hell outta this guy. I'd love to see him try to unify the division. Juan Manuel Lopez and Cabellero...that's what I'm banging the drum for.
Damn!! I'm a huge Molitor fan. I think he's a talented guy and I hope he can bounce back from this. Sucks though, I've still got high hopes for him though but you can't take anything away from Caballero, grats to him.

had only seen maybe 2 fights from each fighter before but I picked caballero to stop him in the later rounds, Happened kinda early, Molitor just wasnt ready for Caballero's attack.
