Calderon Looks To Make A Statement
Calderon Looks to Make A Statement
Posted by Joe Roche on 08.31.2009
Calderon prepares for Rodel Mayol and beyond.
Ivan "Iron Boy" Calderon (32-0-1, 6 KO's) considers himself to be one of, if not the, best pure boxers in the world today. "Fans can always expect from me to hit and not be hit. I am the best pure boxer in the business and I need to do that to win this fight. I want to unify my title with the other champions – Edgar Sosa (WBC), Brian Viloria (IBF) and Giovanni Segura (WBA) – and then try and move up to 112 pounds to become world champion in three divisions and retire undefeated. I want everybody to remember me as the best pure fighter in the world and a champion who helps his people."
The fight that Calderon has to win before he even considers unifying the light flyweight titles is a rematch with Rodel "Kid Rapido" Mayol (25-3-1, 19 KO's) in the main event of the Sept. 12th "Undefeated Champions" pay per view event. The first fight between Calderon and Mayol was stopped in the sixth round due to an unintentional headbutt that Calderon suffered in the fourth. "The fight at the time of the stoppage was very tight," Calderon said from training camp in Puerto Rico. "I started very slow but, between rounds, I was getting my rhythm. The fight was my first in Madison Square Garden and I felt pressure to look good and put on a good performance. Mayol has fast hands. He came to box, not to try for a knockout like everybody else. He's one of the best fighters in the world right now in the 108-pound division."
"Undefeated Champions" is being distributed in the United States by Integrated Sports for live viewing at 9 PM/ET – 6 PM/PT on cable and satellite pay-per-view via iN Demand and DirecTV for a suggested retail price of only $29.95.
TEAM MAYOL
