Celestino Caballero

I wont be surprise if they rob him, Argentina judging is known for that unfortunately. Did you see what happen to Marquez when he fought Chris John over there? It sucks for Caballero and should def. seek a rematch but in the states. I must see this fight, it sounded like it was exciting.

 

Barros clearly won, and would do so again in a rematch.

 

Do you mean Indonesia?

 

Nope. Mismatch.

Based on John's last two performances (against Saucedo and Yordan) and Caballero's (against Litzau and Barros) John has a lot more tools left despite being past his best. He's lost a great deal of mobility but he can still fight well while anchored and standing still. Caballero is just unable to keep guys at range anymore and therefore has no ability to be effective against anyone trying to fight on the inside (where he's totally ineffective).

The Dragon would mess him up right now.

 

I had it 114-112 for CC. He also was not given credit for a clear knockdown in the 6th. Barros was hurt and his gloves clearly touched the canvas.

The RBR thread is writing off Caballero too early. It was an awkward looking fight stylistically largely because Barros was clinching and brawling a lot. Caballero never could get in a good rhythm, but I absolutely think he could still win a title at 126, nothing indicated that he's shot.

 

That was a slip.

Actually, it turns out the legitimate knockdown of Caballero was not ruled by the referee (all of us just assumed that it was, and factored it into our scores).

Caballero scored the two that were ruled (in the 1st and 9th), both from flush uppercuts to the chin. Barros scored one in the 4th but was denied the call.

So taking away the knockdown (even though it should have been called) my scoring range goes from 113-112/114-111 to 112-112/113-111 depending on whose way you swing the 11th. Still a win for Barros or a draw.

 

Indonesia or no fight for Chris John. **** John and his 0 if that's the case.

Yep, that Argentina dude is the Teddy Atlas of scoring, he doesn't know had to score a fight. He had Seda and Narvaez a draw. atsch :rofl

Showing that doesn't prove anything. Caballero lost clearly, he didn't throw punches, and was bullied. He was in a dog fight again, and he folded...again.

 

You might want to watch it again. There was a hard right hand landed by Caballero that obviously stuns Barros and sends him off balance across the ring, gloves touching canvas. That is not a slip. Knockdown.
