    According to Fightnews, unbeaten two-time world champion Ivan “Iron Boy” Calderon of Guaynabo, Puerto Rico will be defending his WBO 108-lb title at the Madison Square Garden on Saturday, June 13 against LA-based Filipino Rodel Mayol.

    The fight is set on the undercard of the big world championship welterweight clash between Miguel Cotto and Joshua Clottey.

    Calderon will be making the fourth defense of the 108-pound title. He said: “It has always been my dream to fight at Madison Square Garden in New York and to do it the night before the National Puerto Rican Parade, makes it even more exciting for me. It will be a night to remember."

    Mayol, who trains at Freddie Roach's Wild Card Gym, was once considered as the country's brightest hope for a world title, but failed twice in his previous world title attempts.
    and he's gonna fail for the 3rd time when he fights Calderon lol, IMO no one at that weight can beat Calderon, only one who i'd give a slight chance to is Viloria, and honestly he gets a bit too wreckless and Calderon would out box him easily

    I have to admit that I have not seen Mayol fighting, but I have seen the Iron Boy a lot since the beginning of his career. He is definitely one of the most skillful boxers today, and Mayol will have to fight hard if he wants to win.

    We're kinda opposite here . I've seen 4 Mayol fights, but I've never seen Calderon in action. I heard he's got superb boxing skills, but he's not exactly a KO artist. Mayol is difinitely the underdog, but I'm giving him the punchers chance.

    When my boy Calderon beat the bigger, heavier puncher Hugo Cazares twice... he made a believer out of me. I haven't seen Mayol fight either, but I have full confidence in the "Iron Boy."

    Bit disappointed with this match-up to be honest! Calderon looked all set to face Canchilla before Segura drilled him. So I was hoping Calderon would extend an invite to Segura...

    But Moyal is not the sort of opponent that is going to strengthen Calderon's legacy or HOF aspirations.

    Calderon doesn't score to many KO's but I see one here!!!
