So Ivan Calderon is gonna fight this guy....

The scheduled March 2nd purse bid for a bout between unbeaten WBO light flyweight champion Iván ´Iron Boy´ Calderón (31-0, 6 KOs) of Puerto Rico and WBO interim light flyweight Johnriel Casimero (14-0, 8 KOs) of Cebu City, Philippines is now off. Calderón´s promoter PR Best Boxing (Iván & Peter Rivera) and Casimero’s promoter Sampson Boxing LLC reached an agreement this afternoon with the bout likely to take place at the end of May in Puerto Rico. Both fighters will enter the bout with wins over solid competition. Calderón decisioned current world champion Rodel Mayol in his last bout while Casimero defeated former world champion César Canchila in his last bout win his interim title. The bout is the latest in the newly developing boxing rivalry between Puerto Rico and the Philippines. LOL I have a feeling this fight will end by a headbutt

Casimero is a good fighter, I remember watching the Canchila upset the day after it happened. That said, he's very inexperienced and should have taken a few more fights before stepping in with Calderon.

but they have come closer than any other fighter. Am I right. Didnt Cazares get a rematch. So it wasnt a blow out. yeah no doubt, but they thing is that Ivan knows how to fight those fights. thats why e doesn't stop moving. What will beat Ivan will be his age. He's not the same he used to be at a younger age

Cazares and Esquer both pressured him and they couldn't beat him but they have come closer than any other fighter. Am I right. Didnt Cazares get a rematch. So it wasnt a blow out.

non of them are presSure fighters , and ur not going to beat a slick boxer unless u pressure him and break him down , if u stand there boxing he will outbox you. The fighter to beat calderon will be a great mexican fighter who pressures a lot , and has much more speed than calderon. Cazares came close. bUT NOT CLOSE ENOUGH. Other wise , u have NO CHANCE Cazares and Esquer both pressured him and they couldn't beat him

Hes not fighting the guy that beat Canchila first, Giovanni Segura. Hes fighting some bum who KOed Seguras left overs. So you come to tell me that a win over Canchila is better than 2 wins vs Cazares?

Calderon is a hoe, he always runs away from the top contenders like when Ulises Solis was at the top so was when Canchila was at the top. What are you complaining?? He is fighting the guy that beat Canchila.

I talked to Gio's manager a couple of nights ago and he was under the impression Iron Boy and PR Best was ready to sign the fight as paperwork had been done and sent only to have them sign to fight Casimero they were pissed and shocked

Calderon by UD, he's too slick man and too experienced, he fought bigger dogs and been doing this for much longer, Calderon by UD
