Calderon has been dreaming for years about unifying his title. And after several attemps to make this type of fight he finally obtained the opportunity. My opinion is:
There is only 1 thing "Segura" today. "Segura" victory for Calderón (Segura in spanish can be translated as sure: Sure victory for Calderon) ;)
I've been big on Calderon since he went pro, and he should be able to counter Segura while avoiding Segura's wild shots, but if Segura lands a good shot clean i wouldn't be shocked to see him stop Calderon, Ivan has been slowing down a bit and although his stamina was insane last time out, his reflexes aren't what they used to be, and if Iribe dropped him (although IMO it was a flash knockdown) Segura will stop him, but i'm still convinced that Calderon has enough left to outbox Segura and win a competitive UD something like 116-112 for The Iron Boy
there is no such thing as a certainty in boxing. i knew going into the fight that segura's only hope was to go for the body like a pitbull. trying to headhunt calderon is just foolish cause he's such a great defensive fighter. segura may not be a great boxer but the guy comes to fight and is a very dangerous fighter for anyone up to flyweight and maybe even super flyweight.
