    Former junior flyweight champ Ivan "Iron Boy" Calderon (34-1-1, 6 KOs), training for his rematch with champion Giovani Segura (26-1-1, 22 KOs) on April 2 (Integrated Sports PPV), was well inside the maximum allowable weight at his official 30-day prefight weight check. Calderon was 116½ pounds for the fight, which will be contested at 108 pounds. Calderon, who will travel to Segura's native Mexico for the fight, could have weighed as much as 124.2 pounds. Segura knocked Calderon out in the eighth round in August in a fight of the year candidate on Calderon's turf in Puerto Rico. "I'm always near from my weight for the fights, but I'm training too hard for Segura and working in some new and old things," Calderon said. "I'm working now for more strength for Segura."

    I'm glad hes working on strength cuz he damn sure needs it. Still doubt he wins though.

    I'm going for a Calderon victory but its mainly because I got to stick with my countryman. I really dont know how this one is going to play out.

    Very difficult task for Calderon i Hope He wins but He is even older now and with that loss He is less confident.

    So you admit that you are bias, is ok to love your countryman but lets be honest he wont win a decision in mexico. Especially with his style of running and moving that's not crow pleasing and unless he completely shuts out segura and segura cant touch him he wont get a decision in mexico.

    :hat

    Yeah pretty much. Calderon has to be super slick to win that fight. If its close in any way he losing in Mexico easily.

    Regardless I'm going for Calderon, but I'm sure hes going to lose. Anyway


    WAR CALDERON!
    VIVA PUERTO RIIIIIIIIIICOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! :good

    I have been in the gym watching Segura train and have to say that Segura will wreck Calderon. Segura beat the tar out of Rau'shee Warren and bloodied him real bad in a gym war.
