      boxrec is not god. There have been several articles, this site included, that are reporting Celestino Caballero is just about a done deal.

      He'll fight a bum or two before then though

          For some reason I really doubt he will fight Caballero.

          Caballero calls out everyone but it doesn't seem to happen for him.
          Maybe it will now that he is a 2 belt champ at 122.

          If they did fight, Caballero has more power than Gamboa has seen in the pros to date.

          Gamboa has had a ton of amateur fights, I believe over 250, so they are going to move him very quick so we'll know soon enough.

            Caballero has also been KO'd before so it should be interesting to see if he can take a huge shot from Gamboa (and vice versa of course). Very interesting match up, Caballero I'm sure will be the favorite.

              i doubt he will be the favorite. Gamboa is a top prospect, therefore i doubt he gets a fight he isnt the favorite in....

                  True and I would love it if it did. It would be a firefight.
                  Caballero has a tendecy to brawl sometimes and give up his distinct height advantage.

                  NO way this one would be dull.

                    I'm almost positive Caballero will be the favorite. Not by much though, like maybe 2-1 odds or even less.

                    I got Gamboa winning, but it would be hard for people to make Gamboa the favorite, even if he's a top prospect, Caballero has been on a rampage, is a unified champ, has more pro experience and his utter destruction of Steve Molitor was very impressive. Plus his huge size advantage and the perception (true or not) that Gamboa has a weak chin are all factors that would make gamboa the underdog.
