      El Pelenchín has to get through Lorenzo Parra 1st. This is a weird matchup, molitor-Caballero. I think Caballero will get a decision

        Molitor decision. Although i may be slightly biased as i've only seen Caballero once, but Molitor impresses me, that i see him hard to beat.

          I agree with you, though I'm biased being a Canadian. It will be a close fight, either could win a decision.

          It's good for the sport of boxing to have unification matches like these!

            If this fight comes off we will really see if Molitor is for real or not. I personally really like Molitor; the guy is slick and a joy to watch offensively. I have always felt that he is very much underrated and people write him off as just another title holder, well this fight is the chance to prove how good he really is. Caballero is a beast at super-bantam and would be Molitor's biggest challange and this fight would no doubt be very close, but I will stick to my guns and go with Molitor by decision. 5'11" is freakishly tall for the 126lb division and Molitor is going to have difficulty in dealing with that and Caballero's power which fighters like Ponce De Leon have been unable to cope with.

            Hopefully Celestino can come through the Parra fight, which will be a very hard fight in its own right, and then this fight can be made. Looking further down the line, fights with the Mexican trio (Marquez, Vasquez and Ponce De Leon) would all be attractive for the winner.

                I've never seen Molitor fight, but I've seen plenty of Caballero and he is very beatable.

                  I'd like Molitor to win and then fight Israel Vasquez at Rama. I'd be there in me sombrero.

                    This will be the first unification fight in Canada in years.
