WBO junior flyweight champion Ivan Calderon is training hard for his August 28 unification with WBA champion Giovanni Segura. Calderon has been studying his opponent and found him to be very similar to Hugo Cazares. Calderon beat Cazares in two tough fights.

Calderon is already putting together a strategy to outbox Segura. Like Cazares, he sees Segura as being wild with his punches and leaving himself open to counters. He knows there will be danger involved because of Segura's punching power. Calderon will be cautious when engaging Sergura within range.

"I've seen him fight twice in videos. I saw him against a Panamanian (Walter Tello) and Cesar Canchila, when he lost," Calderon told reporter Jose Sanchez. "Segura is similar to Hugo (Cazares). Segura is a fighter who is disorganized, but strong."
