Wants unification vs. Vazquez instead of Vazquez-Marquez III

Press Release: Following the third successful defense of his WBA super bantamweight title over Jorge Lacierva on August 4, 2007, Celestino Caballero wants to make one thing clear – he wants to unify the 122-pound title and if his fellow champions aren’t ready to do so, he wans them to vacate their belts. “For boxing to get back to where it used to be, we need one world champion in each weight class,” said Caballero (27-2, 18 KOs).  “The only way to do that is for all the title holders to fight each other, but unfortunately, it seems like I’m the only champion who feels this way.” The 31-year old, a proud native of Colon, Panama, feels that champions Israel Vazquez and Daniel Ponce De Leon are freezing him out of a possible unification [Steve Molitor holds the IBF belt].  “Vazquez just wants to fight Rafael Marquez over and over, and Ponce De Leon knows what I did to him the last time we fought, so he’s content to avoid me as well,” said Caballero, who handed WBO champion Ponce De Leon his only pro loss in 2005.  “I have to take my case to the people and have them demand a unification fight.” All he wants is a chance to prove himself to be the best 122-pound fighter in the world. Will Vazquez or De Leon step up to the plate?
