Celestino Caballero of Panama knocked out previously undefeated IBF champion Steve Molitor to defend his WBC Super Featherweight title and running away with Molitor’s IBF belt as well.

The punch was a right uppercut, which took Molitor offguard and dizzy and unable to fight anymore. The referee stepped in, awarding a TKO victory to Caballero.

Here’s the streaming video (replay from Youtube) of the 4th round knockout by Caballero.

Rey “BoomBoom” Bautista will go up against contender Heriberto Ruiz on November 22, 2008 (November 2003 here in the Philippines) at the MGM Grand Hotel, Las Vegas as an undercard fight of the Hatton vs Malignaggi fight on HBO PPV. Boomboom sports a 1 loss record to the hands of Daniel Ponce de Leon, while Ruiz has 7 losses but 23 KOs in 39 fights. This should be an easy battle for Boom-boom with an over-the-hill fighter and I wouldn’t be surprised with an early round knockout. It will be broadcasted live by ABS-CBN Channel 2 on Sunday morning, and will be available on the Internet through streaming video. Watch out for the links.

Ricky Hatton vs Paulie Malignaggi. The Hitman vs The Magic Man. The Brit vs The Italian. The Wrestler vs The Boxer.

You can all call this fight anyway you want but I prefer to call it simply Hatton versus Malignaggi, Ricky’s defense of the being the top fighterand the winner of the Super Lightweight (or Jr. Welterweight) category against up and coming Italian boxer Paulie Malignaggi on November 22, 2008 at the MGM Grand Casino and Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada, to be televised on live broadcast video by HBO PPV (Pay-Per-View). Yes, you would have to spend some dough to watch this semi-lackluster bout between two boxers who are out to prove the world that they are the king in 140 lbs division.

As usual, the free live streaming video of this fight will be all over the Internet, but if you are in the Philippines, the best way to watch is through Channel 2 at 10AM on Sunday, November 23. I think Boom-boom Bautista is on the undercard of this bout so there is no reason for you to catch it on TV. Be prepared to deal with the endless commercials though as our local stations are merciless when trying to milk advertisers of their marketing money, at the expense of a wasted Sunday for Filipinos.

Update: Ricky Hatton Wins via TKO on the 11 round
