“Celestino is going to punch a lot harder at 130 than he did at 126. Here is a guy that can carry the weight up to 147 pounds. He spars with a lot of guys that are a lot bigger then he is. He spars with guys as big as 155, so he’s not worrying about Litzau and the fact that he’s supposedly the bigger guy. He prepares with guys that are a lot bigger than him, so Jason Litzau is nothing in terms of being the bigger man. At the end of the day, Celestino is going to be taller than him, and just because Celestino campaigns at a smaller weight class, that doesn’t make Litzau the bigger guy, the bigger puncher, or anything of that nature. We will bring the fight to Litzau. Celestino has stressed to me that he wants to be impressive, so we’re going into attack mode early and trying to get Litzau out of there,” stated world-class trainer Jeff Mayweather as he talked about super bantamweight champion Celestino Caballero and his upcoming debut at super featherweight when they take on Jason Litzau. Check it out!
PC: How is it going Jeff?
JM: Everything is good. I’m keeping busy with my fighters. I got a real good stable of young fighters.
PC: Celestino Caballero will be making his 130-pound debut against Jason Litzau on November 27th. Is that a fight you like for Celestino?
JM: I commend Jason for stepping up to the plate. It’s a shame that he has to fight out of his weight class in order to get a fight. No one would give him the opportunity at 126, so he had to move on to the next weight class.
PC: He was a huge 126-pounder. How is the weight feeling on him right now?
JM: Naturally, it worked out great for him. Celestino is fairly heavy when he comes to camp. He came to camp 140 pounds, so to lose 10 pounds is nothing for him. It’s just a matter now of getting technique down as opposed to worrying about the weight, so it’s going to be a good camp. It’s going to be a fun camp.
PC: Are you happy with the progression of getting him fights since signing with Dibella?
JM: I think that Lou Dibella is doing what he can do. He can’t force any fighter to fight Celestino. He’s probably one of the most feared fighters out there; especially in that weight class, he is the most feared fighter out there. With that being said, that makes Lou’s job hard as well.
