0:51 Caballero misses the lead left, but follows up with a right hook that finds the mark. 2:2
0:51 And now Sixto Escobar is bleeding again from that last punch as his previous cut has been reopened. 2:2
0:51 Sixto Escobar is wiping his eye with his glove. The cut on his eyelid has started to drip blood once again and Escobar better pray it doesn't worsen because it's already a problem and could turn into a much bigger one if the cut widens. 2:2
0:51 * The referee appears to be jockeying for position; he's moving more than the fighters. Apparently, he wants to get a better look at the cut above Escobar's eye. Now, he just steps in and stops the action. Bayless is escorting Escobar over to the ringside doctor to get an opinion on the severity of the cut. 2:2
0:51 * The ringside physician is making a thorough examination of the cut, after having cleared away some of the blood. He's dabbing at the wound again and from the way all three participants, doctor, ref and fighter, are nodding their heads, it looks like this contest is going to get back underway. Referee Bayless is indicating exactly that - the bout is going to continue; and both fighters are getting ready to start punching again. 2:2
1:05 Caballero is holding... 2:2
1:09 Caballero and Escobar each take a step back. 2:2
1:22 Caballero fails to connect with that punch. He pushed it out there instead of cutting loose with it. 2:2
1:28 Escobar connects with a violent combination! 2:6
1:28 Caballero was staggered by those punches... 2:6
1:33 The increased swelling around the left eye of Caballero is fast becoming a hindurance. 2:6
1:38 Caballero throws a nice, short uppercut that scores to Escobar's jaw. 4:6
1:51 Fighters are exchanging blows! Caballero scored more on that exchange. 7:8
2:03 Escobar brushes the ropes and quickly spins away, heading back to ring center. 7:8
2:03 The uppercut just landed by Escobar is a nice weapon on the inside. 7:10
2:15 Caballero retreats into a neutral corner. 7:10
2:20 Escobar cuts loose with a combination and the crowd roars, but the truth is none of those punches landed. Caballero had his elbows tucked in nicely. 7:10
2:22 Caballero flicks three quick jabs and at least one got through. 9:10
2:22 Looks like that shot has widened Sixto Escobar's cut because the flow of blood seems to be increasing. 9:10
2:22 There's a steady stream of blood just running down Escobar's face from the wide open gash on his eyelid. It's no wonder Escobar is fighting with a sense of urgency. He has to know that if the bleeding isn't stopped, the fight might well be... and not in his favor. 9:10
2:22 * The fighters move away from each other, creating a bit of distance between them. Now the referee has called timeout, halting the action. He's leading Escobar to the ringside physician. The cut over Escobar's eye seems to be the primary cause for concern. 9:10
2:26 * Referee Bayless is calling a halt to this fight. * This one is over! Escobar is unable to continue due to the severity of the cut over his eye. Caballero gets the TKO victory! 9:10

Fight Result

Barry exposed horribly here at the end of the season...

[BoxBuzz]

No he wasn't ....however, he's a sensitive guy, and all your negative comments gave him the blues.

You should be more politically correct, you hurt his feelings. You are responsible for his loss.


I hope you are proud of yourself.
