    i think it is not and the only reason i disagree i thought vic vs mijares was just a little bit better..but this isnt far off from the vic fight

    Darchinian-Mijares was better.

    The only reason i disagree with you guys is that Darchinyan was coming off a 1-1-1 streak. imo if Mijares had won, noone would make an issue of that fight.

    Only for those that were buying that Mijares hype...Im proud to say that I never jumped on that train and I did think that Vic would Knock him out.

    Thing is I think this fight is the same thing...Cabellero being the Vic in this fight...Im not buying into Molitor, he has fought no one of note. Castillo is the best he has faced, and wouldnt you know it that was after Cabellero blasted him out..

    Like Vic, most will pick against him, and he will knock the guy out.

    Im really looking forward to it but not that much.

    Its probably one of those fights that Im more interested in the result rather then watching it.

    What Caballero a guy not so ood with a very boring stile, and Molitor another boxer who put puncher together and is not a slugger and have a boring stile too. Sorry but that match is not even in the top 20 best matches this year.

    It is the best matchup involving a Canadian fighter since Bute v. Andrade.

    I had one foot on that train but thought better of it and soon caught the Darchinyan Express instead. On first look I Mijares on a fairly close decision (something like 116-112). As the fight grew nearer though the thought nagged at me that Darchnyan had looked much improved against Kirilov who many though would outbox him. Also against the limited Munoz Mijares had been caught and hit. I felt that Darchinyan's Awkward style and improved skills and speed may indeed cause more problems than I first suspected and I decided to change my view to Darchinyan either by Close UD or late TKO. I have to admit though prior to this fight I thought quite highly of Mijares having seen the Navarro & Munoz fights.

    I am really looking forward to Caballero v Molitor. I think this could go either way and I am changing my mind constantly on this fight. I am thinking though that Caballero was well beaten by another skilled southpaw fighter Ricardo Cordoba. This result could be relevant to what transpires when he meets Molitor.
