BoxingScene.com was informed by a reliable source that discussions for a rematch between super bantamweights Celestino Caballero (34-2, 23KOs) and Ricardo Cordoba (37-2, 23KOs) are getting serious. Cordoba won a twelve round decision over a 19-1 Caballero in 2004. Since the loss, Caballero has won 15 in a row. If a deal can be reached, the fight could end up in the fall as a possible HBO televised opener to Andre Berto's defense of the WBC welterweight title, possibly against his mandatory Selcuk Aydin.
Finalizing a deal with Cordoba is not exactly a slam dunk for Caballero and his promoter Lou DiBella. Top Rank is actively pursuing Cordoba to become the opponent for Guillermo Rigondeaux on the Manny Pacquiao-Antonio Margarito pay-per-view undercard on November 13. At this point, the promoter with the best overall offer is going to secure Cordoba.
