Cab got robbed.

Probably

Only saw the fight in snippets.

Cab did look like crap.

The knockdowns should have been enough for Caballero to pull it out based on what I heard about the four rounds I missed. But since I didn't see them, I have no judgement.

Cab seriously sucks though lol

retire now caba watch him not though he has no pop to beat a top fighter

[BoxerDood]

Its really only a matter of time before he gets the Williams-Martinez II treatment...I think Gamboa would have beaten him badly.

CC would have won this in Panama but he knew the dal down there....but with no power and his slapping punces, too many fights getting hit and es going to be scrambled...win or lose...

Actually, it didn't look like "he knew the deal".

In the last rounds he was controlling the fight but didn't went for the kill, i guess because he thought that, with the 2 KD, he was way ahead on the scorecards.

Poor Pelenchin, i don't know who arrenge this fights for him. First he can't get a fight with Juanma or any big name, then he move up 2 division to fight a contender in super feather and finally he came here to fight the "champ" with a gameplan of winning a decision against him.

He ain't that good either. Gamboa really outclass Barros in their fight but Pelenchin had a lot of trouble against him in several moments during the fight.

what say you for your boy?

He should have won the fight. He should have also fought harder in the 12th and deciding round since he was in Argentina. Caba didn't look that bad really, he's just no Gamboa. Might as well keep at it.
