the only way i can see someone beating calderon is going to the body and slow him down. he's just too fast and make the other guy look silly.
mayol got outboxed because he was going to the head everytime.
I don't know man, Viloria waits too f**kin' long for the right openings, and it may not come that often against the PR, he's gonna need to put a consistent effort on cutting the ring off, but Viloria is not a pressure fighter. He's really more of a counter-puncher.
I hope BV can pull it off, but like I said he can't be too patient. It seems like Iron Boy is someone that needs to be "roughed up".
BTW, is the size difference pretty obvious between PAC-Cotto?
The bold just didn't sound right lol
I didn't notice a real size advantage in the height but Cotto definitely looked like a physically stronger man.
Calderon, you just have to appreciate the guy. Not that much fun to watch but he can just outright box. He's never been in a dog-fight yet but I think it will come when he fights Brian Viloria, who is a different fighter altogether from Mayol.
I'm excited for that fight, I thought the Hugo Cazares fights were his most defining fights of his skill, but Vilora will bring the goods.
Calderon might go down as one of the greatest small men if he just does his thing against Vilora

XD i didn't see the fight, but i could care less about both. they both suck LOL. XD
How can a boxer suck when he has 35 wins, no losses, and only 6 KO's which mean he's won all his fights by actually outboxing his opponents? And Mayo, he's real business, not some bullshit palooka. I find your lack of appreciation for good boxing skills disturbing..(applies Darth Vader Jedi Choke hold). lol:boxing:
Calderon clearly outboxed him and made him look silly and sloppy which is what Calderon excels at. The guy has minimal power and just wins baby. I agree he needs to throw more punches, but at the same time his defensive prowress is just so awesome to watch.
He's like 5'1 and just handling his business. At 34 years of age...his legs still look fresh. Retirement is imminent because these cuts are happening all too frequently
Seriously, you guys are watching a boxing genius in the twilight of his career. Appreciate the authenticity and skill of Calderon because it'll be a good long time before you see someone of his caliber.
I have to agree.

it was a shit fight. mayol threw alot but couldn't land shit. calderon was more accurate, but so what? he barely threw anything and ran all night.
but mayol didn't earn the win. to beat the champ, you have to win decisively, so they say. mayol didn't do that. you shouldn't just be handed a lineal belt. earn that shit!
nobody won this fight. especially casual boxing fans. we lost. shit fight.
