I told him the same thing another time; we used Calderon for a couple of days. I said, "Go ahead and hit that little mother." Again, he couldn't do it. Calderon was too quick and had a southpaw stance, like Manny does. That's when I thought of Manny. I knew then it was a winnable fight."

i know manny ain't calderon but is just as fast or faster and should cast more doubts on dlh being completely dominant on this fight.
i dont know if thats true or not. i really doubt Calderon beat oscar all around the ring. I know Ivan is a very good boxer and all but i find that really hard to believe.

and is it just me or does freddie roach always have something bad to say about Oscar.
i've read in a calderon interview that oscar really did have some problems with him during sparring. as for roach, someone has to do the sh!t talking cos pac certainly ain't gonna do it.
I believe what Roach said, Calderon is so fast that he can slap Oscar hundred times before Oscar can pull the trigger... Calderon is also very tiny and too slick that Oscar will have all the difficulties in the world hitting him...

What Roach said about Oscar vs. Ivan Calderon sparring must be true...
