Not for nothing
I was expecting boredom from Cabllero, but he looked a lot for trained and well prepared for this fight.

Oh by they way I heard on the news this morning they catch that asshole that killed the boxer from the Bronx not too long ago.

Why?
Caballero is a great fighter, who sometimes has off nights and has some trouble with southpaws. It’s really unfortunate that his highest profile televised fight was a stinker where he looked bad for the first five rounds, but he’s been in a lot of exciting fights where he destroyed high level competition, including the Castillo and Sithchatchawal fights.
In any case, this means Caballero-Molitor is officially on. Tough fight for both guys, and I can’t even predict what could happen there, because Molitor has never faced anyone as good or as tall as Caballero, and Caballero sometimes doesn’t fully show up for fights and occasionally has problems with quick boxers. Should be a great fight if it ends up getting televised here. It’s sickening that they can’t even find US TV distribution for a unification bout. Hopefully Showtime picks it up as they were originally rumored to do.
Vogt early, Vogt often.

You asked why and you answered you own question.

Not as bad as Guillermo Jones at 147
Considering he’s been a top tier cruiserweight for a while now and looks completely natural there.
