    I see very little chance that the little Indonesian guy wins this fight.

    Yordan won round 7 too, landed some nice clean right hands and left hooks.

    And yeah the HBO crew are slobbering all over Caballero's tiny little stick insect balls.

    Annoyingly Caballero seems to have a pretty good chin though. Yordan has landed some very nice, pretty flush straight rights and left hooks, and Caballero barely blinks.

    Yeah I wonder how Rojas KO´d him in three rounds and apparently a clean KO, too. Cordoba also dropped him.

    Yordan is starting to make the rounds interesting yet `HBO keep talking about how they should stop the fight

    Classless assholes they are. Bringing up dead fighters and ring tragedies to hype Caballero.

    Shit, I forgot that ElTerrible. That is weird, I'll see if I can find the fight on youtube.

    As you've seen, his chin seems totally solid.

    I know. He arguably won 2 rounds in a row, and they are banging on about the fight should be stopped, and the corner should take their fighter out? :lol:

    Fucking idiots, to be honest they are not usually this clueless, I'm not used to such idiocy from Showtime.

    mws you're letting your hate show. The tall skinny dude is winning the fight going away, just appreciate his volume punching, combinations and endurance.

    Seriously I´ll retire before Yordan if they don´t stop talking. :doh:

    Now Lederman wants to score 10-8 rounds like he´s fuckin Tom Arnold on Fox. :bangh::bangh:

    ONce again shows HBO poor matchmaking, Caballero is excellent and he deserves name oponents as he has proven himself over and over again, not unproven prospect. Shitty matchup on paper turning out to be pretty monotomous

    Why are HBO literally ignoring the clean punches Yordan has landed every single round? Yordan lost the last 2 rounds, but he still landed a few clean punches, and HBO don't utter a fucking word, just keep going on about how 1 sided it is.

    What was the fight where the commision stopped it because both fighters took too much damage? I missed it.

    caballero's conditioning and chin alone made it a wise decision for rigondeaux to avoid him after only 6 fights or whatever he had. if it was ever a serious option

    Yordan almost took him out in the 12th.

    The little dude didn't give up either, even though he was inexperienced etc, he's a true fighter, I like him.

    With some more experience he'll be a good fighter too.

    Because he fights like a spastic. He throws dead weight retard punches like a backward child.

    I admit he can fight though, and was pretty effective tonight. Not an easy guy to beat, but honestly I thought he was clearly outhustled by Lacierva.
