    Comments Thread For: Giovanni Segura’s Long A-Weighted Crack At The Big Time

    By Jake Donovan - Big fights or big feasts.

    It was barely a year ago when Giovanni Segura was ready to throw his hands in the air and shout, “To hell with the junior flyweight division.”

    There had long existed a desire to face the division’s very best – namely Ivan Calderon, not only the lineal champ, but a legitimate pound-for-pound entrant and widely believed to be the very best pure boxer in the game today, even if he has lost a step or two in recent years.

    But whenever a fight was offered that didn’t include Calderon or any of the division’s alphabet titlists, Segura would think to himself why he continued to shrink down to 108 lb, when he could be enjoying life a little more and still fight at a weight where he could maintain his massive punching power.

              I said it before and i'll say it again, Mad respect for Giovanni and mad props. Win or loose, i will keep supporting him. This is from a Boricua.

                Another great piece by Jake. I really like Segura in this fight, I think Calderon's reign is coming to an end. Calderon can box circles on Segura by superior boxing skills alone but his legs are not as good as they were 2 years ago, Giovanni is going for the kill.

                  Yeah, he's got a great attitude...when I first saw him, I was thinking "who the hell is this crude-ass, awkward-ass, switch-hitting slugger?" - I won't lie, I wrong-headedly hated him on first sight of watching him fight.

                  But then I got to know some more about him, his story, how he got into boxing and his thoughts on the sport and his ambitions in it - wow, what a likeable guy, as well as a big fan himself, and his honesty and commitment to trying to improve with every fight is impressive...his style grew on me hugely after that.


                  If anybody's going to end Calderon's reign, I'd like it to be Giovanni.

                    Mexico vs Puerto Rico, but no matter what both guys have great attitudes and as a fan of both may the best man win
