Caballero was not "exposed", he has never been really good

[mariobrotherpr]

Just checked Caballero's reaction from Ring Magazine:

“I was felling too heavy, and I couldn’t move my feet,” Caballero said. “Litzau used illegal punches (to the back of the head) to measure me. All he did was run. I won the fight.”


I won't even comment.

Now every fighter has an excuse after losing, why do they even ask?

I've always said Caballero was overrated since his Super Batamweight days. People got way to carried away.

I wonder WHY is that hardcore boxing fans fall for Caballero-like talk.

How can anyone NOT notice his obvious flaws? And his limited "assets"?

BUMP!

Having too much fun with Caba.

Caballero did get exposed. And he wasn't really that good. So a little bit of both. What people need to realize is though if a 34 year old average Caballero called Lopez a bitch, a faggot, a maricon, and a princess and showed up at Lopez's weigh in and suffered no repercussions, I'd hate to see what would happen if a guy was in Lopez's division and was in his prime with a big punch with the skills and technical soundness all in one package. It'd be the equivalent of Lopez drinking prune juice because he'd shit himself. The way Caballero disrespected Lopez and nothing happening afterward still makes him look suspect. Really suspect.

Litzau needs to improve his defense, if he wasn't fighting a feather-fisted fighter he could have been in trouble. Caballero slaps like a girl with his punches, who taught him to fight like that?

Isn't that Gamboa...and isnt that fight already being set up down the road...All roads for Gamboa and Juanma lead to each other..Caballero was a nobody with no fans and brought nothing to the table ....if a world champion and rising superstar had to fight every cab driver with a big mouth looking for a payday...he'd be fighting bums his whole career....The cream rises to the top and thats what Gamboa vs Juanma is.

Gamboa isn't really that good either even if he is the toughest challenge for Lopez right now. The 126 lb division isn't as good as it was when Valero, a prime version of Soto, Linares and all those guys fought in it. I know it's not Lopez's fault where that's concerned. But he is just the best among a weak bunch.

Never having been good to begin with = the definition of the word exposed as it pertains to boxing.

Your literary skills have been exposed.

You are exposed if people believe the hype.

Juanma did not believe the hype. I think most fans did not even drank the Kool-Aid. Only Juanma haters did.

As for me, the thread title applies. I have always said he is not a good fighter, so nothing was "exposed" for me. I've seen it all before.
