Molitor stops Labarda in IBF title defense
August 29, 2008
RAMA, Ontario (AP) -IBF junior featherweight champion Steve Molitor stopped Ceferino Dario Labarda in the 10th round Friday night at Casino Rama to move into position for a title unification bout with Celestino Caballero.
Molitor (28-0 with 11 knockouts) floored Labarda (18-1) in the ninth round with a flurry of punches, then finished off the Argentine challenger 2:34 into the 10th when referee Charlie Fitch called the fight.
Molitor, from Sarnia, is slated to meet WBA champ Caballero (29-2) on Nov. 21, also at Casino Rama, provided that the Panamanian beats Elvis Mejia on Sept. 18 and all the paperwork gets done.
