I saw something happen I'm not sure if it's just me but there was something about the way Calderon sat in his corner as they poured water on him and rubbed his neck. I saw very heavy breathing by Calderon and Cazares was able to hit him well when he switched southpaw.

With all that being said, a win is win and Calderon won.
Congrats to him and I think this should mark the end of this one. They both need to move onto other things.
Calderon vs. Solis and Cazares should go after Canchilla or Sosa.
I am not sure that Cazares was going to do any better in the last rounds, as Margarito did with Cotto. This is based on the first fight where Cazares could badly hurt Calderon, but the Iron Boy could survive and recovered his rithym to dominate the final rounds adn Calderon superb skills. Calderon was saying during his pre-fight interviews that he was going to choose right moment to stop a little and fight Cazares, and I believe he was starting to do that. He had indicated that his strategy was also to save some energy for those last rounds. With all punches that Cazares missed, I can think that he was more tired, and don't forget frustrated, than Calderon, but who knows if Cazares could connect a good body punch that took some air from Calderon also.

And, I also hope this is the end of this saga, and both of them move to other challenges... Cazares definitely should move up in weight division.
