    Well, this remains the only big bout in the super bantamweight/jr featherweight division. It looks as if both Rafael Marquez and Israel Vazquez will now be campaigning one divison north in the featherweight division.

    So who would win this fight to become not only the undisputed champion but the lineal champion at 122?

    Vote and comment.

    Never been impressed with that string bean Caballero.. and although JuanMa is still largely untested, I still think he takes Celestino's head off.

    Lopez by 9th round KO.

    Lopez is not interested in this fight. He says it won't bring him enough cheddah.

    Great fight but I see it ending in KO and Juanma the winner - he shown that he has a good chin - takes body punches well - and has a calm demeanor.

    I wouldn't rule out Caballero winning but the fight has to be made to figure it out.

    Lopez.

    Way to much body to target.

    It seems that pretty soon most of the action will be at 126. Eventually, JML and Gamboa will be the fight that everyone is crying out for, and I completely understand.

    More to the point, I've got Lopez by TKO.

    Juan ma wins but caballero could manage to go the distance by using his jab and moving around.

    JuanMa would break him in half.

    The sensible choice seems to be Lopez, but fighting Caballero must be so damn akward with his height and reach!!! If Cab can survive the early rounds...it could be closer than many think!!!

    doesn't really look like anyone has much confidence in the cab-man

    Watch Caballero's fight with Jorge Lacierva and tell me he didn't get a gift decision in that fight.. and despite his size, Celestino is prety damn easy to hit. Not a good thing when you're facing a skilled puncher the likes of Juan Manuel Lopez.
