    Here we have two talented latino fighters both of who can speak english. Their first fight was not a fight of the year candidate. Yet, first fight was in Puerto Rico and this one will be in Mexico. (THAT IS GREAT FOR PUERTO RICAN AND MEXICAN FANS) But I think these two guys deserve to be fighting at Las Vegas. At least as a co-main even. Do nice interviews and good promotions. I feel especially bad for Ivan. We already know he still able to make 105 easily. He made 108lbs before leaving Puerto Rico one week before his fight. He is fighting at 108 just because the money is a little better. And the reason he traded so much against Segura wasn't only that age is catching up with him, but to make an exciting fight and sell fights!!! He is my favorite boxer and I still think he will lose the rematch. But its about time little guys get some respect and the money they deserve. I hope they put up a great fight!!!!


    Note: Damn! I cant fix that title now!

    I've never really understand why fans, in general, are happy to pay to watch guys who weigh around 140lbs but seem to get less interested as the fighters get smaller. As long as you have two good fighters putting on a great show, who cares how big they are?

    The first fight was tremendous and hopefully the re-match can live up to it. I've no idea how much they're getting paid but I guarantee it isn't enough.

    Right now? Yes! That is because of the lack of promotion. That is why I said: "as a co-main event". This two guys already did a great fight. Promotion is the name of the game

    I have to say. I ****ing hate mexican comentators. I am watching the first fight. Those two guys were already celebrating Segura's victory before the fight started. Never seen comentators talking so much bull**** and nonsense. I wish I had it in English

    If Calderon was winning you know our people would be too lol.

    But I HATE Mexican comentators. They talk way too mucha dn way too fast.
    Its like they're talking about a horse race wtf.

    I love the PR Boxing guy commentator. He real chill about things till someone gets KO'd
