    this being in Canada and judging by the Bute-Andrade farce,Caballero has to knock him out to win.and by knockout i mean Molitor has to leabe on a stretcher.

    pelenchin has been in that situation before when he won the title in thailand. and after he knocked out the thai fighter he and his team were left at the arena to fend for themselves.

    I expect Molitor to do a job on him.

    He doesn't knock out Caballero, but should beat him comprehensively.

    I'm going with 117-111 and 118-110 scorecards.

    Exactly, Canadian judging seems pretty fair. Bute Andrade was the ref not the judges, the scoring was fair and Bute was clearly winning up until the last round. I see Caballero possibly upsetting Molitor here. Molitor is very skilled but caballero has the edge in having fought the slightly better opposition of the two (Cordoba, Ponce De Leon, Sithechatchawal, Lacierva, Pastrana, Parra) an I can't help thinking that his massive height advantage will play some part here aswell, also I believe Caballero has a slight power advantage too. I am very undecided in who I will go for here. Head say's Caballero, Heart says Molitor.

    Cabellero is very underrated here. I think Molitor will win this but Caballero will give him a run for his money here.

    This will be a great fight.
    I pick Molitor UD but could see Caballero wearing Molitor down with his power advantage and possibly stopping him late

    Molitor in a ud 115-113. Hopefully this fight propells Molitor to bigger fights. Id like to see him fight Marquez at some point, even if i think Marquez would win.

    That was awesome. I remember the bootleg video, which was just some guy holding up a camcorder, since the fight was at some random temple in northern Thailand. Unfortunately, I think Molitor is much less prone to walk into Caballero's shots than Sithchatchawal. My gut tells me to go with Molitor in a relatively close fight on this one, although I can see legitimate scenarios where the fight is a blowout in either direction.
