Ivan Calderon is a classic boxer. He is called the Iron boy becuase when he started he had a different fighting style similar to "iron" Mike Tyson. Many people are decieved by his KO ratio, but Calderon actually floors many of his opponents during his fights. His slick boxing style is accompanied by fast combination and impressive footwork. He has barely lost a round in his entire career. He has a solid chin and his athletic ability, movement, and adaptability is very impressive. None of his opponents have come close to phasing him, stunning him, or breaking him down. He has made 10 title defenses and critics say the he is the most technically skilled and intelligent fighter today. The downfall to Calderon is that he stands at 5'0 and walks around at 115, so fighting anywhere above 108 would be a challenge for him. In his last couple of fights he has decided to incorporate more of a finisher's touch, something that he lacked before. But he is very carefull and knows the risk of going in for the kill. His last couple of fights have been quite entertaining and have been unlike many of his previous performances. Should Brian Viloria win tommorrow, he will most likely be facing Calderon next.
