I remember how Arum/Juanma ducked this guy like Ebola.

Saw him on the Vasquez/Marquez undercard. Wasn't impressed. Tall and awkward. That's it.

His fight against Doud was one of the first fights I ever saw. I'm a fan of Caballero, I'll be one of the few that will miss him.

Enjoy your retirement. I've been a longtime fan. It was disgusting and disgraceful how Juanma ducked my man at 122.

You earned it El Pelenchin.

Goes to Thailand and knocks out the champ, then turns around and goes to Canada to do the same.

At his best he was hard to handle.


He probably stayed 4 years too long.

That was late in his career, he was a mover, too fast for Ponce de Leon. Beautiful jab with blazing footwork early. He resorted to mauling and brawling when his legs started going. Kind of like, I'll just use his initials, Timothy Bradley. I said kind of, but Tim is getting wobbled a lot lately.

Good call. He took a beating in his last fight. I'll always remember him for demolishing Molitor.

I remember the fight were he took ponce de leons 0 and how caba struck fear in juanma.
