    May 24th for Caballero's 122 lbs title.

    Any truth to this matchup or did Boxrec jump the gun again?

    I noticed that on the schedule too. I cant figure out how Parra is even ranked top 15 by the WBA. Sure he was WBA champ at 112, but this is 3 weight classes up. His only fight at 122 was against a guy with a 4-22-2 record, I really dont see how thats enough to get a title shot. I also wonder why Caballero hasnt fought a single mandatory since winning the belt in Oct. 06.

    Hopefully after this joke of a defence, he will take the fight with Molitor that he's been offered (turned it down originally to fight Ponce rematch instead, then of course Ponce pulled out), but if he doesnt, he better at least fight Kratingdaengym, who recently won a WBA title eliminator.

    WBA = venezuelan Parra and Munoz = venezuelan
    notice how WBA seem to like to give these guys breaks with Parra not deffending his belt for almost 2 years and Monuz getting tittle shot after title shot

    BTW Caballero tko
