Why is Viloria getting another shot? At least Sosa should fight Calderon.Comment

Owned.
I want to see a unification fight. Calderon, Solis, and Sosa joined have 18 sucessfull title defenses. I think its time they should fight each other. Calderon already said he wants to fight them but Solis is agreeing to fight other people for less money elsewere, and Sosa just plain doesnt want to fight Calderon.Comment

He's actually Calderon's mandatory but perhaps he feels that Solis is a better style matchup for him. I found this article detailing Calderon's victory over Viloria in the amateurs.
------------------------
Brian Viloria, a world champion and perhaps America's most talented amateur boxer, was upset here Thursday night. The shocker sobered U.S. Olympic team members who had been cruising through the Americas' qualifying tournament.
Viloria, 19, lost to Ivan Calderon, a 25-year-old Puerto Rican lefthander, by a 4-1 vote of the judges. They scored the 106-pound bout on paper because the computers failed during the first fight of the night at Exposition Hall. Viloria, considered "the heart of the team" by teammates, had defeated the former two-time New York City Golden Gloves champion last year.
"I wasn't expecting that," the shaken Hawaiian said of Calderon, who caught him often with lightning-quick counter punches.Comment
