Ivan Calderon: Brilliant or Terrible?

[GeorgiaRED]

I too saw his fight earlier tonight and wasn't impress at all. His opponent was bigger and he KOed Calderon once.

Calderon was quick on his feet but I might call that running and every time Jesus Iribe was going to hit him with some combinations he clinged to Iribe. If a boxer does that there's no doubt that he's going to win because he never box with his opponent, otherwise he'll probably be outboxed and KOed.

Jesus Iribe was the aggresor and tonight was the first time I saw Calderon fight. I'll watch his future fights and older fights to see if he's "really good" or just overrated.

That was an interesting article the TS posted and i do agree that Calderon is boring/

He's a very good boxer, but I guess he has to be, because he has no power, at least finishing power!

Maybe Khan could fight him

For real though, clarify that **** I put in red and one of us will get back to you.

As for the rest... please watch his fights Calderon is a master. Also I like the Gamboa sig.

The way he was getting into rhythm towards the end of his fight tonight and slipping and dipping at will, it was beautiful stuff.

It's not Calderon's fault his opponent tonight couldn't cut off the ring or get inside. You've got to be rough and Iribe was content on chasing him around.

BOTH? BRILLIANT because he knows how to outbox and beat his opponents
and TERRIBLE because he doesnt make an entertaining fight ^^

He's an excedllent fighter.

Being "boring" has nothing to do with being brilliant or terrible. Fighters like M.Ward and Gatti are very exciting but there were no brilliance in their performances despite the heart they showed. Would you consider Dirrell and Dawson terrible fighters, hell no, perhaps they don't have the crowd pleasing style but they're excellent fighters as Calderon.

yeah he is really a good boxer ^^ one of the best pure boxer today ^^

but as what i remembered, he KOed me twice when i am watching his fights lol ^^

Put it this way, if the guy had 20 more pounds on him, he would be considered in the top 5 P4P. He is too small to be a big attraction and he has not power to "woo" the fans. His boxing ability is superb though......his defense is the best as far as movement and agility.
