By Cliff Rold - Sure, there are way too many belts to be won in boxing. Assuming the WBC, WBA, IBF, and WBO as the ‘major’ sanctioning bodies across 17 weight divisions, 68 belts are available before one even gets to ‘interim,’ ‘Super,’ or ‘Diamond’ absurdities. Add in Ring Magazine belts and claims to linear honors and the numbers can grow even more. [Click Here To Read More]

This should be a pretty good fight, there are variables in this fight that make it tougher to call. How many steps has Calderon lost and how badly did Segura have to struggle to make weight are the main questions IMO.
Calderon clearly doesn't have the legs that he used to have but he hasn't been in with a guy that would make him really use his legs since the Cazares rematch, Segura will probably make Calderon move more than he has in his recent fights and if Calderon's legs are old, then it'll start showing up in the later rounds.
Segura looked pretty drawn at the weigh in, his body didn't really look healthy and his cheeks looked sunken, always a sign that a fighter had trouble making weight, this could also be a factor later on in the fight.
I think Segura will come out fast throwing bombs early trying to get Calderon out of his comfort zone, but I think Calderon will be able to weather the early onslaught and start to get his rhythm going by the 4th round and start taking control from there, I think Segura's struggles with his weight will start showing up in the later rounds and he will be the one who fades more than Calderon and I wouldn't be surprised if Calderon manages to put Segura down just because Segura would be off balance and tired. I expect to hear a lot of oles from the crowd by night's end.
Of course, this also depends on the fight not being stopped due to a cut caused by a headbutt, which is a pretty big possibility IMO, Segura switches stances all the time and also leads with his head down and Calderon has been in some of his recent fights, although plastic surgery might help somewhat.
It's an interesting fight.Comment
