Calderon Vs. Iribe

[TitoFan]

He should be bigger then he is, but his style isn't crowd pleasing enough I guess. But its funny how people always talk how great the tacticians are in boxing but the ones that make it on the world stage are few and far between. Calderon should be on HBO or Showtime whenever he defends. But he won't be im sure.

the crowd was actually very much into the fight, chanting Calderon's name over and over in the later rounds or when he'd come on, when he would make Iribe miss they started with the "ole" chants which just seemed to piss Iribe off more lol

Good job on the RBR, bro. Unfortunately I missed the fight, and had to read about it in the paper. Calderon is one slick boxer, and a shoo-in for the HOF for sure. I believe he broke the Puerto Rican record for most successful title defenses, with 18 (13 at 105, and now 5 at 10. I hope he's got a couple more years left in him.

On McWilliams Arroyo... yes, that was shocking. I've seen this kid fight, and I feel he's gonna be a champion someday. He's got the goods. Another one that should be around for awhile is Wilfredo Vazquez Jr. Truly a chip off the old block.

McWilliams lost cause the fight was only 4 rounds, Okada started out strong and scored a KD in the 2nd, Arroyo bounced back in the 3rd back hurting Okada and he kept it going into the 4th, but wasn't able to drop him, at the end i had it 2 rounds each, but an extra point going to Okada for the KD, lets remember that Arroyo fought just two weeks ago on the undercard of Vazquez Jr's fight, IMO it's for the best (him losing the 0 this early) and i think he'd take Okada out in a 6 rnd rematch, he's still a great talent and i expect great things from him and his brother

Yeah... sometimes carrying that "0" around with you tends to skew reality a little bit, and becomes somewhat of a burden. In SOME cases, it even affects who you fight and when (see: Floyd Mayweather). In any case, I think you're right about the Arroyo brothers. Although I've seen them both fight and I like McWilliams even more than McJoe. They're both slick boxers with lots of speed... but McWilliams has more pop in his punches.
