Bookies have yordan as a big enough under dog,I've a feeling he could cause an upset.Should be a great fight.

you watching this on sky or stream digme?

Great fight so far, Caballero decked him earlier on and has been bossing it but he's leaving himself open. Yordan is swinging wildy and if one of those lands, it's hard seeing Caballero getting back up. I can definitely see this ending via Knock Out

cracking fight
callabero is much classier

Cab was playing with him at the end. Easy victory for him.

enjoyable fight if a little easy for cab.yordan had a lot of guts to keep going.he was on a hiding to nothing from the 2 round

Featherweight is looking really interesting now. So much talent in the top 5.

People consistenly underrate Caballero, but he just keeps winning. The only thing that could come against him is age, but so far he sure doesn't show any signs of slowing down.

I think he's a nightmare opponent for anyone, with his height, workrate, reflexes, chin. I also noticed he is one of the few boxers (it was always that way) who 'rides' the punch when hit, by moving his head with the punch to take the sting away.

He really has everything to make the sort of opponent for Gamboa that could really show whether Gamboa is going to be a true great or not.

Wasn't overly impressed with the commentators feeling the fight should have been stopped either.

Sure, Caballero was clearly winning, but at no stage did Yordan look to be in trouble. He wasn't cut/bruised and every now and then landed some solid punches. He landed his best punches in the last, which proved the ref was right in not stopping it.

As Ricky Hatton used to say "it's not a tickling contest ya know".

personally i think it should have been stopped after round 5/6.
fight was pointless at that stage and yordan was taking a beating.
agree with ya bout calallero. very under rated and a serious match up for any of the top 5.
really enjoyed bertos performance . wat r ur thoughts

I thought Berto looked a wee bit off but he has been out of action for quite a while, it was a good pressure test for him. The fight with cab was one sided alright but not enough to be called off that early. Hopefully yordan gained some experience from it anyway, he gave it 110% but the difference in class was obvious from the start.

I thought cab was looking for a jaunma fight but since he has a wba belt that prob means a fight with gamboa would be handier to make.

Stopped after round 5/6 ?????

Why?

He wasn't hurt, cut, bruised and was landing his own punches in each round. Caballero was just landing more.

On paper Berto's result was good but the performance was a bit raggy I thought. Quintana is an awkward opponent but Berto looked quite wild at times. Good finish though.

not sure Cab is underrated, wasnt at sbw, friggin incomprehensible how he made 122 - looks good physically with the extra few pounds and is surely stronger
