    OK, i pick Cazares by KO.

    What about you? I'm putting up a poll. Give me a sec.

    That was my pick!:twisted:

    Wouldn't really surprise me if Calderon was able to outbox him again though. Both are at some kind of disadvantage, which makes it hard to choose. Should be interesting.

    I think Ivan will last the distance, but lose nonetheless, getting dropped once or twice.

    Any reason for purposely leaving out the Calderon stoppage option?

    I think Cazares could be too drained and vulnerable.

    I'm gonna go out and say Calderon TKO around 8 or 9.

    Maybe he could gut it out, but I think the corner will pull him late.

    Kind of cheeky off me to leave it off, right? Especially as Cazares WAS buzzed last time around...but I just don't believe it is possible. You really think the weight-making is going to make him that vulnerable? Calderon just isn't a stoppage type of fighter at this weight (or any weight, as far as I can see).

    Calderon doesn't stop people, that's the reason.

    He literally has no punch, and it doesn't really matter if Cazares is drained or not, Calderon will not stop him, I personally don't think he'll win either.

    Well we all know what both bring to the table but honestly who has the upper hand? Calderon will not change his gameplan he already knows he has to box his way out via 12 round ud. On the other hand Cazares pretty much softened his opponent up and almost went for the kill but could not finish. I think this fight is all bad for Calderon not sure why he chose to rematch. Cazares will continue were he left off and capitalize on his previous mistakes id say an 8th round knockdown and it all goes down hill from there for Calderon.

    I'm thinking Cazares late ko aswell, but like many others Calderon outboxing him again wouldn't surprise me either.

    i also pick cazares by KO around 7...i feel this fight is close and calderon should be favored because of his overall ability. Calderon is a bit somewhat like cotto in terms of chin, he is a bit shaky. The difference is he did the right thing clinching on to his opponent for that particular round instead of sitting along the ropes. My gut feeling tells me cazares would pull it off. close fight though

    Calderon by decision. Anything can happen in this fight, however.
