Calderon Vs. Iribe

[ElTerribleMorales]

Calderon shoe-shines when Iribe lunges in while not throwing anything, keeping him at bay with jabs, and moving side to side, backing away, it seems as if he's taking the round off to conserve energy, still controlling the tempo, Iribe goes after him and lands 3 good shots, but then is peppered with hooks and a straight left

ROUND 7: Calderon

68-64 Calderon

[ElTerribleMorales]

it's been a typical Calderon fight (well typical since Cazares fight), Iribe pushes Calderon and it's ruled rightfully so, Iribe seems to be getting a bit desperate, landing a shot on Calderon's hip, but he still is only throwing winging shots and one at a time, Calderon is outpunching and outlanding Iribe while on the backfoot, landing 4 unanswered shots, if he had more power Iribe would be in trouble, Jesus lands a good right but Calderon is now unphazed, he counters and circles away

ROUND 8: Calderon

78-73

[ElTerribleMorales]

the fighters get tangled up in a clinch, but then it's more of the same, again Calderon seems to be taking the round off, and Iribe is noticeably getting frustrated, but continues to miss and get hit, Calderon appears to be bleeding from a accidental clash of heads (you called it), but it doesn't seem dangerous, as he continues to dominate

ROUND 9: Calderon

88-82

[ElTerribleMorales]

Iribe is just loading up on his shots and he's getting irritated as the crowd yells "Ole" every time that Calderon dodges one of his shots, not much action this round, Calderon lands a solid 1-2, then moves away, Iribe plods forward and Claderon jabs

ROUND 10: Calderon

98-91

[ElTerribleMorales]

more of the same, Iribe trying to rough him up to the point that he loads up and falls to the floor (Iribe), Jesus switches to southpaw only to get whacked and switch back, Calderon landing at will while the crowd chants his name, dips too close to the ropes and almost pulls a Cintron, again Calderon landing jabs, straight lefts, and right hooks at will, while Iribe only hits air

ROUND 11: Calderon

108-100 Calderon

[ElTerribleMorales]

a desperate Iribe goes right after Calderon at the bell, Ivan just on the back foot avoiding shots, now he begins to work landing jabs and straight lefts mainly coasting around the ring avoiding shots, finally Iribe ups his workrate and is tagged by an uppercut, then 4 consecutive shots, Calderon plays the crowd and Iribe becomes enraged, but still can't cut off the ring, Calderon is standing his ground a bit more and landing combos while counting down the clock, the final bell rings

ROUND 12: Calderon

118-109

[ElTerribleMorales]

the scores are in and it's,

Taylor 118-109 Ortiz 118-109 Steward 116-111

Calderon wins by UD

he looked very sharp, awesome stamina tonight, never stopped moving and apart from getting hit with a shot while off balance he completely dominated Iribe, a fight with Segura would be nice

ivan calderon is just an absolute boxing genius. this guy is incredible it's sickening. i bet most of his opponents think they can ko him but once they get into the ring, it's like they are in with hoodini. this guy is "now you see him, now you don't". absolutely incredible and a sure=fire hall of famer. congrats
