Mad Respect To Giovanny Segura

[ELHURACAN58]

With all the crap that some of the Ricans (like PRBOXINGCOTTO) were talking it was to be expected. It's only fair that they take what they were dishing out.

The thread starter is one of the knowledgeable PR boxing fans though and it's good to see him giving respect where it is due. With no excuses.

Champbox is a legend among PR posters

ChampBoxPR
mellow mood 100%
NAPO(who cares if hes really venezuelan)

Those are the three most respected.

I think Segura has flaws that can get his ass knocked out, but I give the ts mad props for making this thread.

he's had these same flaws since I have known him and only one fighter has taken advantage of it.

Honestly I felt bad for Calderon, it seemed to me that the ring size really affected him, he just couldn't get away from Segura

Puerto Ricans are as bad as the Mexican fans on here. Not all Mexican fans are that way because I don't say anything negative about PR fighters.

The truth is, Calderon is older and not as good as he once was, just like Rafa Marquez was against JuanMa.

Old lions lose, young lions come and take their place, it's part of sports and boxing.

I have all the respect in the world for Calderon, he's a classy fighter and has been on top of his division for a very long time.

There's a few good posters on both sides who talk boxing, real and sensible.

The rest are garbage posters IMHO.

I got a feeling that Calde just took the fight for the paycheck, as soon as the fight got rough he quit.

I don't know man I tend to think of it the same way I saw the third fight between Morales and Pacquiao where Erik knew he had little left to hold off Manny for long and rather take a sustained beating where he would definitely have to quit the sport due to irreparable damage he decides to cut it short and weigh his options

no shame in a warrior knowing when the odds aren't just stacked against you but leaving you hopeless. Calderon saw and avalanche in Segura like Erik saw a tsunami in Pacquiao

Actually this is true, I just read his statements on El Nuevo Dia, and he said the exact same, that he was too old to take them kind of beatings already, so he decided to be able to fight another day....

I feel the same.

Im a Fan and he gets mad props and respect for the destruction of Ivan Calderon. Seguro simply destroyed his ass. He even said, that he would KO Calderon way sooner this time and he did. From 108-115 this dude will be a force, at only guys with a chance are Gonzalez, Seda, Cazarez and Mijares, the rest gets pulverize by Segura.

Again, big props to him, great fighter mexico have in him. I hope he keeps wining and giving us fans great wars.


War Seguraaaaaaaa!!!!!!!

I agree. Segura is a class act and won me over as a fan! He is a very good fighter that can hit very hard. As for Calderon, it hurt watching him get ko'd again but thats boxing. You win some, you lose some.
