Caballero got beat but man the fighters right now who somehow keep winning but are the worst I have seen in years are De Leon Caballero Litzau Just really really bad. De Leon is terrible but his big big power bails him out. Guys don't even want to box with him because his shots hurt so much. Lucky he has power or he would be completely unknown. Chavez Jr at least has moments of competence to actual goodness, especially against Duddy, but these guys just never look good. UGH. Scored Penalosa De Leon a landslide for Penalosa, but De Leon got the decision. Scored many fights against Caballero for sheer incompetence but even then he always won. I am writing a letter to the promotors. I remember 126 being a good deep and talented weight class but if Caballero says he couldn't find any challenges there its time for little guys to go pro. Right now. At least Gamboa and Lopez look like they know how to box competently, whether we think they have flaws or not. I have never once thought that about Caballero.
are you for real? he won the fight "based on activity"...exactly what activity did Caballero had? He got his ass whopped by a nobody. stop drinking the cool aid. Caballero is no world champion material...never was, never will. As a matter fact he is not that much different than the man that beat him.
i saw this result coming anyways, check my post history if that aint believed. like williams he bit off more than he could chew and believed his own hype. major flaw of his got exposed, he likes to bully the little people. cant handle punishment coming back at him. huge probs to the americnan boy for this one
He was never anywhere near! as good as people made him to be, I have been saying that for ages, matter of fact before the fight, I put him in the top 3 as one of the most overrated fighters active today, I have no idea why people thought he was something.
his inside fighting style and solidness makes him a feasome opponant. and i think we are missing how good he is in other ways. sort of reminds me of how guillermo jones got to this stage. using pure hieght and inside abilty to outhustle and create space but litzau was tall enough not to be threatened and kept his hands much higher than usual. and wasnt squat down or cemented to the floor. only by power was his worry and cab didnt throw enough to present a threat. got to say good performance by litzau and surprsingly after being out of contention for a while, it puts him the top 5. his last 4 fights have been very good wins i lie both are ****
Your right he should've knocked him out, but he didn't and that's his own fault. He wasn't robbed, he just didn't want it as bad as Litzau did. You can't take any fight lightly 'specialy when going up in weight. The white boy was determined and made the tall Panamanian look very bad. Caballeros technique was lacking and by the way his punches looked in the last rounds, I'd say his conditioning was too.
I think Caballero should look for a rematch. I think he wins by KO in the rematch. Honestly, I saw Litzau winning but I still think he can't even spell B-O-X-I-N-G. Caballero was out of shape. He had to do 1 hour of stationary bicycle to make weight and stepped into the ring at 145lbs. But even in top shape I don't think he could go the distance with either Juanma or Gamboa. I think he is a piece of garbage. He is too stupid. I mean, he has been talking a lot of ****. Then he gets the chance to make a huge statement on HBO and that is how he shows up??????? **** him!! HE doesn't respect the fans or the sport.
He can start driving Taxis !!! For those who sincerely thought he could beat Juanma....how does that performance affect your opinion ?
Caballero is worse then Paul Williams when it comes to technique. I don't know how anyone thinks he beats JuanMa of all people.
I agree. I think even the punch stats bore that out. But that said, Caballero looked like his mind was somewhere else in this fight. Litzau stole one but Caballero left the door open.
