Re: David (Calderon) vs Goliath (Cazares)

Although there is a lot of negativism on Calderon revalidating (I believe that we still have Margarito on our heads) I think that he can be the David of the night and beat Goliath.
Cazares should come even more aggressive than the first time, but if Calderon maintains his focus and do not make something dumb like stopping in the middle of the ring to exchange wild punches, but hitting smartly, he should win. The only opportunity I see for Cazares is a KO, and he proved that he has the power to do it in the first fight. But, Calderon also showed that he can recover and that he has a big heart, and amazing skills. I am hoping that Calderon does not fall in the mental game that Cazares has been playing during the last couple of days. I am sure Cazares will try to repeat what Margarito did with Cotto, but he is fighting the best boxer.
I really believe that no many (if any) has Calderon skills, and he should be recognized as one of the best pound for pound, recognizing his power limitations. Tomorrow we should have another great night for boxing. This will be another Mexico - Puerto Rico battle... I hope that this next 24 hours are gone quickly...
I agree very much with what you say here, I think Cazares is going to be a little smarter with his reach and KO Calderon this time though. Don't get me wrong Calderon is a phenomenal pure boxer, but If Cazares can dial-in a little earlier well, we'll have to see, I picture it being as good of a fight as the first.
On a side note, Cazares is losing years of his life at these weigh-ins he looks like he just walked out of Aushwitz.
For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.
