    Juanma would probably beat him however with his reach and height he could still be a threat for gamboa even though i think gamboa will beat him , i wonder if they are fighting in september as said before

    I didn't saw the fight, and considering that it was in hometown of caballero. My question is, was it a robbery?

    it was an out and out robbery. and before anyone says that because it was a sd it could have gone either way. i am panamanian and actually in panama right now. and you will not find one panamanian with the exception of the panamanian judge who thinks celestino won the fight. we all feel that mathebula got screwed.

    celestino clearly won teh first 4 rounds. but mathebula clearly won 7 of the next 8. no way in hell did cc win 7 rounds in that fight. hell outside of the first four, the only other round he won imo was close.

    bull**** decision, and i am embarassed that it happened.

    Caballero sucks. Most overrated fighter in the game today probably.

    Yeah i agree. When in big fights with good known fighters he has looked downright devastating but against lesser opposistion he has often looked very amaturish and disinterested.

    I don't know if he will beat Gamboa but you can rest assured he will come into the fight 100% and put on a good dispay whether he wins or loses.

    Did'nt see the fight but judging from what I heard Caballero better step it up if he's going to fight Gamboa.

    Actually Gamboa /Caballero is an interesting match. Starting with the fact Gamboa is 126 pounder, who gets wild, and gets caught with punches only an amateur would. And has been dropped by class C- fighters.
    But he hits very hard and I have never considered Caballero an A level either. So it could be very interesting
