    August 17th, 2007 - Ivan "Iron Boy" Calderon, minimum WBO champion, made 111.5 pounds in the last pre weighin for his August 25th Ruben Rodriguez Coliseum showdown against mexican WBO mini flyweight Hugo Cazares, who weigh 121 pounds, eight above the 113.4 limit.

    Cazares (25-3-1, 19 KO's) arrived to Puerto Rico this early morning and apologized to the fans and press for his high weight.

    "I apologize because of my weight. I have problems with my flights, delays, and arrived this early morning to Puerto Rico, and cannot train recently", said Cazares.

    Cazares is going to have to drop 13 pounds in a week... for someone who is already 5'6", 121...

    I say he can't make weight.

    I hope Calderon can overcome the big size difference.

    I've always thought Calderon would be in trouble when he fought taller guys above 105 lbs - that lack of pop is going to make it hard to discourage someone who has other physical advantages from getting their punches off. I'd fight him tomorrow.:good We'll see, but I think Cazares is going to be a bit too big.

    Calderon has unfortunately slipped a little in terms of speed, because of that i tended to go for Cazares but with the size difference. Don't even know if the fight should be made or will be made.

    WTF someone call the police, someone is trying to set little Ivan up and I will have no part in it.

    Seriously, like Doublesuited said, no way in hell that guy makes weight.

    If he does, I think Ivan will put on a clinic. :yep

    Here in PR everyone is worried about the fight,really difficult for Ivan.Cazares is really good, is fast and as you can see is a lot bigger,he is going to make the weight and he is gonna come well prepared he has great stamina,I hope our little man can make it he's a great guy.

    **** me, that is obscene.

    Calderon would break into the P4P charts with this win.

    Calderon is ****ing up like all the small guys. They need to unify and dominate so when they step up people know who the real man is.
