STEVE MOLITOR vs CELESTINO CABALLERO

Canada's Steve Molitor has home-ground advantage but near-six-foot Celestino Caballero of Panama has the physical advantages in Friday's much-anticipated 122-pound unification title bout on ShoBox.

I previewed the fight for ESPN.com earlier in the week and even though I picked Molitor, I am making Caballero the wagering favourite. He is undefeated in the last four years and Molitor will face the biggest challenge of his career in every sense as he tries to work out a way to score points while not getting caught by Caballero's long, slashing punches.

I think that Molitor is going to do it, though, and I hope to have some final thoughts on Thursday or Friday as the bout draws closer. Meanwhile, for anyone who has not done so and is interested in reading what I had to say about this intriguing match, you'll find the article on ESPN.com's boxing page.
