The Mexicali Francisco "Franky" Leal tried to devote as world champion in the WBA and IBF super bantamweight, but could do little to champion Celestino "Pelenchín Knight won by knockout in ten seconds of the eighth round.
In the parking lot of the Sports City in the fight KO Enterteinment stellar presented by Ignacio "Nacho" Huizar, the "Pelenchín" became the first Panamanian to win a world title fight on Mexican soil.

In addition, the AMB superchampion, where he and two eight defenders in the FIB, paired contests between Mexicans and Panamanians, having fifteen wins apiece in title fights in a story that began in the early seventies.

Caballero, who owns a better punch, Alcanda and height, in the first round sent to the canvas to "Franky" after being connected with a short right in the center ring, to put to work in Texas referee Rafael Ramos.

It seemed that the fight would end earlier and is the champion, distance, controlled the Mexicali in the first two rounds, but came third and "Franky" plucked up courage and with two rights that shook "Pelenchín" stirred up the home crowd.

​

Armando value but with a punch that podo was in the humanity of Panamanian challenger sought to fight in the short field, where left and right hooks were fed cachanilla hope to have a longing for new world champion.

he is a joke taking a fight like this!

 

At least he became the first Panamanian to win a world title fight on Mexican soil....

Anyway, Caballero is eagerly pursuing a Juan Manuel Lopez unification fight next... Probably happening by January 2010...
.

 

Forgive me if I am distinctly underwhelmed with that achievement consider this fight!

Will the JMM fight be at SBW?

Finally what does "Pelenchín" mean. Cowboy or horseman? is it in reference to his second name!?

 

It will be great if Caballero and JuanMa can have a unification fight a SBW but since both are planning to move up to FW, a fight at 126 isn't bad either...

I think "Pelenchín" means something like Cowboy or horseman... I'm not good in Spanish language...

 

Good for Caballero he's one of my favorite fighters in the lower weights and pelenchin is not even a real word in spanish doesn't mean cowboy or horseman, might translate to "someone who fights a lot" but it's not an exact translation.

 

someone else said "street fighter" - is that about right?

 

It really is, Cab knows hes not going to last long and is trying to stall for as long as possible to get paid for the JML fight.

 

Bring on Lopez!

 

Lopez wants nothing to do with this man and is using WBO sanctioning fees as an excuse to avoid him!

 

If juanma wins they are set to fight January 23 2010 in puerto Rico o new York juanma is going to **** this guy up

 

I like to see JuanMa ****ing Caballero most probably from behind... But I doubt it will happen in their fight... Maybe the opposite...
.

 

Juanma already said that he is leaving Jan 10 2010 open for CC and that he's going to make CC pay for everything he said by breaking his face...Juanma is going to **** this boy up!!

 

JuanMa might have difficulties reaching the face of 5' 11" Caballero...
