~ ESB's BIG FIGHT PICKS ~ Molitor-Caballero, Malignaggi-Hatton, Kirkland-Vera

I'll change my pick to Molitor TKO 10.

 

Yeah, good job to everyone who picked Caballero. Molitor was too safety-first in a lot of his fights, but he always looked comfortable, even when he was getting very outworked. Here, he looked very uncomfortable from the first seconds of the fight and he started panicking. So, there were signs he could get overwhelmed here and that's exactly what happened. Some fighters simply can't handle fighters once they get to a certain level, I guess Molitor is just one of those fighters. He didn't seem like one of them to me, because of how sharp and comfortable he looked against fighters a level below, but that's boxing, fighters step up and get tested.. Molitor failed the test in a huge way. His trainer is an idiot.. he makes his fighters way too safety first. You can't do that with young fighters when bringing them up.. you have to let them take risks so that when they're in there against better opposition they can be more comfortable. During the second round, I was thinking, Vazquez would destroy Molitor.. didn't expect this KO from Caballero though.. I thought Molitor would get into a rhythm before the end of the first half. Good job sues and everyone else who picked Caballero. I want to see Juanma in there now against him.. that has highlight reel KO written all over it.
