Celestino Caballero Talks: “Juanma, Don’t Be a M*ricón”

[Aracibo04]

You would think Lopez would want to leave a mark at 122 since that is the division that Wilfredo Gomez made his mark. But I guess him and Arum don't have the balls of Gomez.

It appears that way.

Ok, he don't want unification at 122 cause there is no money, so what?
He's got a whole career to unify in other divisions which would be much greater

Jaguar.. you said it the future. IMO at this time in his career he should be least concerned about money. He has many mega fights in the future where he will make a lot of money... Fighting CC even if its not for the belts would be a starting point for his legacy. Do you think Gomez cleaned up the 122 in his time for the money? Do you really think he will make more money fighing that Madulake guy (his next opponent) what ever his name is??

rogers mtagwa is a crude fighter...

but damn... that man got lots of heart...

but juanma will beat him if im correct...

but cmon... the only notable name in his resume as it stands right now post ponce is gerry penalosa... a fighter significantly smaller & older than him...

step up the plate mr. lopez...

Beating Caballero would be for 3 Belts Unification + Ring Belt/ What a way for Lopez to move up to 126. Respect some PR's here and understand the importance of this match. It will be much harden for him to unify or get that ring belt at 126.

Damnnn!!!!!! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this is all i am trying to say... LOOK Juaguar... what do you think of the post??

Thanks, now I see your point.. lol

Lopez-Mtagwa will be another Latin Fury PPV in October from MSG Theater in New York, and the titleholder said, "This is what happens when the opponents you want don't want to fight at 122 pounds." He mentioned that both Israel Vazquez and Rafael Marquez have moved up to 126, but then he says that Celestino Caballero isn't worth the money thanks to the many sanctioning fees he'd have to pay. He then says "It's better for me to keep fighting opponents ranked by the WBO."

So in essence, Lopez is saying, "I want to fight the best, just not that guy, the guy who's the best opponent out there for me in my weight class."

Rick Reeno of BoxingScene.com reports that Caballero, the fellow titleholder, came back with a response. In the response, Caballero offered to pay all of the sanctioning fees, which is B.S. obviously, but it's a good line.

Past Caballero, no, there isn't a whole lot at 122 pounds. The way to get a big fight is pretty simple: Fight Caballero and stop letting asinine fights like the Mtagwa spectacle get signed, or move up to 126 pounds, which is the destination anyway. Bob Arum is making no secret of his desire to match Lopez with Yuriorkis Gamboa down the road, and there are better fights to be made at featherweight, or at least more of them.

He is chasing the big guys... Israel Vazquez or Rafael Marquez
but first he would have to go through Gamboa if he beats Rojas
Juanma Vs Rafael Marquez (fight of the year)

oh ****, doesnt maricon mean ****** in spanish? benny paret said that to emile griffith and griffith killed him in the ring, must be a pretty bad insult

cabarello is pretty funny i like him. Juanma needs to fight Cabarello straight after he fights Mtagwa

[No Ceiling]

i hope no one said caballero is past his prime if he got beat by juanma

[fdotorres]

This ducking saga reminds of Williams/Cotto ducking sage as well. A little princess being protected by Arum from the big bad tall fighter. Sad

did you get banned again flawless?
