See that's the way you do it!!! I'm hoping that my countryman wins this fight, but at the same time I believe he won't pull it off. Best of both worlds... rooting for the Boricua, but also realizing that styles makes fights and Segura's style is a bad one for him.
Just FYI, I still have Marg beating Cotto if they fight. Not because I decided to listen to Mariachi and be a born again Mexican, BUT because I feel Marg and Segura's style will always be a problem for those two.
I also have Gamboa over Juanma if they fight, but I'm still not 100% on that. I think that if Gamboa gets passed the early rounds he will def take it though.
Now commence the flame war below saying that I am not nationalistic enough, or I am jumping on the Mexican bandwagon. It's crazy how some PRicans and Mexicans on this forum get so carried away with their pride. I mean pride is good, but too much pride just makes you look silly. :bottle:
People who say Cotto and Calderon have no heart are for sure COWARDS in real life.
Like they say in the streets REAL RECOGNIZE REAL.
If you have heart then you'll recognize a warrior like Cotto.
Cotto has proved if it comes down to it he can take a beating. Cotto has never been one punched ko'd, jumped out of a ring or cried to the ref about a cut or his vision.
He took countless FLUSH head shots from a cheating SKUNK and still fought on till the championship rounds.
Was Cotto supposed to DIE first????
The man is 100% WARRIOR. He's actually too much warrior for his own good.
Great post!!!!!
What fights do you base this on?
Some felt Castillo overpowered Mayweather in their first fight. Mayweather, the boxer, won the rematch with ease.
Another good example would be Mayorga vs. Forest I and II.
The brawler overpowered the technician in the first fight, but the technician made adjustments for the rematch and nearly won (forest was definitely more competitive in the rematch.
Castillo overpowered Stevie Johnston in their first fight, only to be held to a draw in the rematch.
I remember Antuwon Echols bullying Hopkins in their first fight. Hopkins, the technician, made the necassary adjustments for the rematch and beat Echols ass by TKO.
I don't believe that Segura has this in the bag just because he overpowered Calderon in the first fight.
Boxing technicians were created out of neccesity to deal with overpowering brawlers.
Technicians are intelligent and always come with a gameplan.
I expect Calderon to box Segura's ears off in the rematch. It's very hard to beat a guy with Calderon's boxing iq twice.
I hope you're right bro. I think Calderon could pull it off, but I feel that Segura now has the mental edge...

A simple Duran vs Leonard II would have done but-
I will never get how people say Cotto & Calderon have no heart.I would like to see anyone of them take the beatings they have & enter the ring again against the same guy.To know U signed urself up for an encore of a brutal beating is probably the bravest thing a man can ever do.

Usually when a brawler over powers a technician, it's hard for a technician to avenge his loss to the brawler..

And you say absolutely nothing about the idiot Mexicans on here who call PRs monkeys and island rats? Be advised, my comments where always retaliatory. I have NO interest in hurting an already hurt people. But when people have jokes, well hey, I like my chances as a comedian. :fingersx:
Kill yourself you fake ass activist for a peaceful latino coalition. If your going to make dumb comments, make sure you try and make them as least idiotic as humanly possible.
Hey BP, wathever happened to the "Mexican Style of Boxing" and "Lamento Margarito" vids you had on youtube? those where great.
Same thing happens again. Segura isn't remotely troubled by any Calderon shots, Calderon is unable to get Segura to respect him, so the same result.
Segura will win even quicker this time though. Calderon is done after this fight. Had mad skilsl for a little dude though.
Agree. I have been trying to do my part, but in the beginning of this very thread, we have aholes like cuacholate, making references to "borderPatrol making racist comments" when I had not yet even posted nor have I been paying much mind to the mexican teenagers lately.
Yo, Cuachocolate, let it go bro. That was yesterday. No more Trauma...
Bro, I understand the rivalry, but there is no need for the constant inciting, taunting, and jabs. Just talk boxing, get rid of the stupid pictures and post in a sensible, respectful manner. Talk boxing...
Yo no entiendo la necesidad de tanta estupidez entre los campos (mexico vs pr), será que me estoy poniendo viejo a los 30....
It will never happen. It's the internet and even though this is the only place I do and have ever posted on, I already know the deal. It's the same reason I only respond to a few on here because they actually talk boxing. Baya, Fizuki, battling Nelson, Walt, there's a few others that I can have an adult convo with.
Listen, in a million years you will never learn 1% of what I know about boxing. You are a little kid who likes to instigate sh1t. I can't believe you haven't been banned yet, all you do is talk crap about Mexicans making up fake facts and insulting an entire nation.
I never talked sh1t about PR, ever. I have a daughter from PR girl, lived in PR and have many PR friends. You aren't on my intellectual level, are a coward that hides behind the computer because you would never have the balls to say these things to Mexicans to their face because you know what would happen.
Go back to playing xbox pendejito, grown folks are talking.
You're a sensible dude. Ignore the extremists, on any camp.
All I know is if I were a Mod here (used to Mod at a couple of car forums back in the day) I'd be dropping the ban hammer with impunity lol...
I remember when we had good discussions on these boards. Samurai and I use to go back and forth about the Cotto/Pac fight. Yes, I had Cotto beating Pac. :pat: BUT at the same time he would also be respectful and appreciate the good fighter that is Miguel Cotto. It was timing versus speed, and I really thought Cotto could win. I actually still do (with a few adjustments)! After Pac beat Cotto he went out of his way to send me pm's and never once did he rub it in. Good ol sportsmanship. That's what NSB needs.... not peepz talking about Kneegals, stools, Mexicunts, island rats, I hate blacks.... blah blah blah.

Nah he is a HOF. His style might not be pleasing to some, but he has skills.
I have always enjoyed watching him fight and have honestly only rooted against him once, the Segura fight (I have seen and known Gio for a while)
Nah he is a HOF. His style might not be pleasing to some, but he has skills.
he only beat 4 top level opponents his whole career and never unified. his best win is over Cazares. he fights at a tiny weight.
I would be incredibly surprised if he gets in the HOF.
I dont particularly like Calderon nor his style, but I give him a ton of credit for taking the Segura rematch in Mexico. Thats some balls right there.
I respect him.
...but there is no way he belongs in the HOF.
