    Here's a Spanish article translated to English by Google Translation:

    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.

    Celestino Caballero, who rode out the fight, never lost his smile, knowing that the fight was on one side only, while the challenger showed courage and desire to want to overcome but the difference was great with the champion.

    At the conclusion of the seventh round, scoring hits with Cabellero to score points, the "Franky" finished cut left eyelid and the eighth ring physician does not let out more at Mexicali.

    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.

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