Comments Thread For: Giovani Segura vs Ivan Calderon II Early Results

[killakali]

I was rooting for My countryman Calderón, but his body couldn't handle the Segura body attack!! The relentless Brawler(Segura) got the best out of the slick & illusive fighter(Calderón)!!!! & even thou Segura looked kind of lethargic(maybe making the weight made him slower), he was still stronger than Calderón & Segura stuck to his game plan of going to Calderón's body, NO MATTER WHAT!! & it worked cause he got him out of there quicker than before...This time Calderón has NO EXCUSES, cause he admitted before the fight that he was in the best shape of his life...VERY GOOD WIN for Segura, but now he should move up in weight(which I'm pretty sure he is) & take over the 112lbs division!!! Mad PROPS to Segura!!!!

Well said. Segura should be even better at 112. As for Calderon I think he can still win a title at 108 against a not big puncher and retire a champ. He shouldn't go out like this.

some people call others ignorant, but then go ahead and act just like them

theres always been that rivalry between the two. ever sicne Sal Sanchez destroyed Wilfredo Gomez, they just can't get over that. Chavez ruined Camacho, Molina, and the list just goes on. Both countries have greay fighters.

Did Chavez destroy Rosario or do you think Ramirez had already destroyed him?

Mad props to Calderon he was a great champ and he was fearless for wanting to fight Segura in the rematch in Mexico. Much respect and I commend his pride for his country. My boy Segura was just too much. War Segura !! Mexico # 1 in boxing !!

Let Me correct U..The rivalry started in 1934 when the Boricua Sixto"El Gallito" Escobar came in as a last replacement for the original opponent of Mexican Rodolfo"Baby" Casanova & Escobar knocked him out in the 9th round to become the 1st World Batamweight Champion from Puerto Rico!!! & after that in 1960 Boricua boxing legend Carlos Ortiz beat undefeated Mexican Battling Torres for the World lightweight Boxing Championship by KO in 10..& before the great Mexican legend Salvador Sanchez annihilated then undefeated Boricua legend Gomez, Gomez annihilated then undefeated Mexican legend Carlos Zarate...& before that the great Mexican Pipino Cuevas beat Puerto Rican world champion Angel"El Cholo"Espada twice & then beat him again after the Gomez /Sanchez fight!!(all 3 times by KO!!!)So rivalry came way before that!! & Chavez NEVER fought Boricua John John Molina...

every race have or had fighters that quit, cry, act like they hurt so they dont get KO'd, refuse to come out of their corners, take a knee and some just get KTFO...... but alot are quick to judge when all they are Computer tough guys that wouldnt even last a minute in a ring or never even laced them up.....
