Segura vs Calderon Rematch is Discussed With Ivan
By Jhonny Gonzalez
The president of Puerto Rico Best Boxing, Ivan Rivera, believes a junior flyweight rematch will take place between Giovanni Segura and Ivan Calderon in 2011. Last Saturday in Puerto Rico, Segura handed Calderon the first loss of his pro career with an eight round knockout to unify the WBA/WBA titles at their weight.
River says there are very few opportunities to make a lot of money at 108-pounds and a rematch between Calderon and Segura might be the best option for both of them.
"Today I spoke with Ivan," said Ivan Rivera told Carlos Narvaez. "He is physically well and going to rest. He is not going to retire. We evaluated one of the options, and that is a rematch with Segura. It's something we had talked about beforehand and they told us they would not have trouble doing it"
"These are the two best fighters in the division and a rematch would be an exciting fight. We're evaluating where it could be and when. Calderón for the time being will remain at 108 pounds and the only way it would not go down is if there is a better opportunity, which is not out of the question."
