This is Calderon's 1st appeareance at the Garden, he was preparing for an arguably tougher opponent in Cesar Canchila until Segura defeated him & he has a big fight (for little me) with Viloria looming, plus the fact that his undefeated record & legacy are on the line!
Theres no way he messes all that up on Mayol!
I expect conservative Mayol. Not jabbing a lot but instead going for the Calderon's jugular. He's gonna look for a knock out cuz that's the only way he can win. I see Calderon hitting the canvas from Mayol's money punch which is left hook to the head or a vicious right uppercut.
I really got mad yesterday when I read in the local newspaper that Calderon fight was being taken out of the transmission because they needed the space for the Dark Night movie (Batman). Dam, this was really disappointing. I really don't know why people don't pay as much attention to the low weights, when they display such as great talent, I guess this is something that the true boxing fan should appreciate. We can watch Floyd dancing in the ring for 12 rounds, but we can not watch Calderon doing the same just because he weights 40 pounds less. Guys Calderon is one most (if not the most) skillfull boxers today. He has an amazing ability, unfortunately he does not have the KO punch to be attractive enough to the TV. Still I consider Calderon the best of his division today, and one of the best of all times in his division (and I am not saying this just because I am from Puerto Rico).Quote:

Rodel Mayol is winning the fight that's why they stop it. ;D Nice move. Ivan Calderon is HYPE...

Rodel Mayol was rob. but you have to understand it's a Puertorican fighting the night before Puertorican day parade.
Rematch is a must! Ivan Calderon is :confused:.....
