Easy win for Calderon

It was frustrating watching Cazares, he went for the same ****** hay-makers that were never landing.

Calderon is brilliant. First time Ive had the privileged of watching him fight.

I'm very impressed, for most of the fight he was the teacher in a counter-punching clinic of epic proportions. I just hope Floyd Mayweather jr. attended the class.

He just moved up in weight to fight a man who for all intents and purposes was 6 weight classes heavier than him.

Id also like to say, that was one of the best fight cards I have ever purchased.

All PPV fights need undercard fights like that.

Calderon Makes His Place Among the Game’s Best

By Cliff Rold - On paper, it was the best fight at 108 lbs. since the mid-90s heyday of Michael Carbajal and Humberto Gonzalez. To the delight of boxing fans lucky enough to see it on a hard to find Dish Network pay-per-view offering, it turned out to be every bit that good in the ring.

Before a packed house of approximately 13,000 rabid fight fans at the Coliseo Ruben Rodriguez in Bayamon, Puerto Rico, 31-year old Ivan Calderon (29-0, 6 KO, 107.7 lbs., Ring Magazine #1 at 105 lbs.) of Guaynabo, Puerto Rico captured the Ring Magazine World junior flyweight championship by split decision from 29-year old Hugo Cazares (29-0, 6 KO, 107.7 lbs.) of Los Mochis, Sinaloa, Mexico in a spirited, dramatic affair on Saturday night. It was the first loss for Cazares, winner of his sixteen previous fights, since December of 1999.

Calderon also captured Cazares’ WBO belt in the division.

While visibly much smaller than a champion who is known to blow up to as much as 126 lbs. prior to fights with the advantage granted by day-before-fight weigh-ins, Calderon showed no fear in taking it to Cazares throughout the first two rounds. Calderon led with right uppercuts and short straight lefts to keep his foe off balance. Darting in and out and side to side, Calderon left Cazares missing and chasing the smaller man. A hard left from Cazares near the close of the second led to a brief clinch before Calderon reset and resumed control. [details]
