    How do you like Molitor against Marquez and Vasquez, Juanma and Ponce.

    I'd favour him heavily over Vasquez and Ponce, not sure about Juanma and Marquez, as both can box with him and have big KO power. Lopez not having near the same experience, I'd probably favour Molitor again.

    Molitor should outbox him pretty comfortably

    I'd honestly be more worried about Vasquez than anyone else. Vasquez has that big punch that does accumulative damage and is not easy to defend against. He can also probably take Molitor's best punch and keep coming.

    Marquez vs Molitior is a close close fight but i think Marquez is already on the decline and that Molitor can use his size advantage to control the latter rounds.

    Ponce is too slow and sluggish, something that Vasquez is not, Molitor would be potshotting and turning him all night like a matador.

    JuanMa tbh i've never seen.

    And I've never seen Caballero either but he is still gonna get whipped :D

    I agree Molitor UD, Cordoba who was and inch taller bt Caballero on pts .
    I am hoping the height will not be an issue, although Molitor has not fought anyone this tall before ?

    Works both ways though, Vasquez is likely more done in than Marquez even though he won because he took the more vicious overall beating of the trilogy and won it on will.

    He's also vulnerable to a good boxer, see the Gonzalez fight. I'd heavily favour Molitor, unless he's chinny, which I doubt it.
    Marquez also has more power than Vasquez and can box with Molitor 1/1, it's a fight Marquez likes more stylistically than Vasquez's relentless pressure IMO. But Marquez may lose and may be declining, Molitor's jab he won't like.
    Agreed.

    He's skilled, quick and powerful, seems to be a great prospective titlist.

    Just keep moving along, nothing to see from Caballero.

    ponce is the most weakest of all the champs of the 122 division. The reason he is 30ish+ and 1 defeat is because of his opponents which are mostly green prospects, bautista and that thai with the oxygen mask for example. So i think the reason he took on juanma is because he thinks it will have the same outcome.

    Vazquez and Marquez ruined each other IMO. Like Barrera and Morales, they won't be able to beat any other top guys. Sad =(...

    I thought the third fight with Marquez was Israel's first defense.

    Caballero had big problems with Jorge Lacierva's style (very reminiscent of Antwun Echols with handspeed). Molitor's style is different, however. The winner of this would muscle his way into a fight with either Vazquez or Marquez...that is, if neither jumps to 126.

    Imagine if the winner got Vazquez. All 3 belts would be on the line for the first time since Wilfredo Gomez.
