Unbeaten super bantamweight Randy Caballero (18-0, 10 KOs) scored a seventh round KO over a tough Miguel Robles (12-3-2, 5 KOs) on Saturday night at the Fantasy Springs Resort Casino in Indio, California.

Caballero had his hands full with the Puerto Rican fighter but a vicious body shot in the seventh sent Robles crashing to the canvas and in obvious pain.  A couple of earlier shots seemed to soften up the mid section of Robles and a crippling left hook to the stomach finished the job.  Robles was counted out by referee Jack Reiss as he remained on the canvas. Time was 2:06.

“In the beginning, we wanted to out-box him and keep him at a distance but after the fifth round I told my dad [Trainer] ‘It’s not working, lets change it up and go inside.”  Said Caballero “We took him inside and worked the body, I seen him slowing down and that body shot just went in perfect”
