WBA/IBF super bantamweight champion Celestino Caballero is ready for war. Caballero hopes Juan Manuel Lopez, the WBO champion, keeps his promise to fight him in the early part of 2010. Caballero once again gave the call for a "winner takes all" encounter. He wants Juanma to put his purse in a pot and the winner keeps all the belts and all the money.
"I hope Lopez dares to wager all the money he will receive from our fight. I will put my two titles on the line and my money. The winner takes all," Caballero told Primera Hora.
After months of taking Caballero's verbal punishment, Lopez finally fired back last week with some verbal damage of his own. He said Caballero would get knocked out in a few rounds if the two of them met in the ring. Caballero said the big talk from Juanma did nothing but add fuel to the fire.
"For me, it would be an honor to shut his mouth. Lopez said things that gave me courage. In my house, I have more titles than him, I am super champion, something that Lopez is not. I deserve a little more respect and recognition on their part," Caballero said.
