Wow! Look at the size difference between Calderon and Cazares...

Cazares will be so weight drained by fight night that the size difference will not matter. I like Calderon to get himself a rare stoppage victory. :yep

 

Me too...he is gonna box Cazares' ears off.

 

So do I. However, after seeing the pic, thei is a big size difference between the two, & I'm some-what fearful for Calderon.

Calderon is one of the best boxers in the sport. If he was in a heavier weight class, maybe he would be known on a bigger scale. He has superb skills, & fighting Cazares, a man who is significently larger than him, will be a true test for Ivan. Props for taking such a bout.

I hope Calderon overcomes the size issue, because it would be a triumph for skills, abilities, rather than the larger, advantaged guy winning.

Lastly, by the picture, I can't see how Cazares will make 108lbs come friday. He just looks too damn big & looks to be nearly dry in the photo.

If he does somehow make weight on friday at the weigh-in, I for one would like to know his fight-time weight!

 

I think Cazares is going to have serious weight drain problems

 

Well, your Momma ain't naming you Hugo for nothing!:yep

I like little Ivan to win by a body shot to the liver of Cazares ala Penalosa v. Gonzalez, if only he's not feather-fisted....:-(

 

:rofl


Iron boys + is that he's in good shape.
His - is that he is very small.

Hugo's plus is that he is way bigger and taller
his - is that he could/will be weight drained

Can go either way imo. If hugo just sticks to straight left and right hands with speed and accuracy it will be very hard for iron boy to come close with THAT kind of a difference.

well that's how I see it

 

Ivan can't even touch his ears, unless he jumps

 

This fight will definitely be interesting...no way can Cazares be 100% on fight night after cutting that much weight that quickly. Calderon will need all the edge he can get.

 

Calderon was always a small strawweight to begin with, if there is such a thing. Honestly though, he's never been rocked, and having seen video of him sparring against good lightweights and welterweights, I only give Cazares a puncher's chance. With the size difference, he might be able to rock Calderon, but Calderon is in my top 5 defensive fighters in the business, and best I can tell he has an iron chin.

 

What the hell!!:blood

 

Huge size difference, I'll be rooting for the most underrated boxer in the game.

 

Poor Calderon, hes not just an straw weight but an verry small one. It must suck to be so small!! I never saw him fight and never will cause im not interested in this kiddie division.

 

You should though Ivan is pure class and beauty in motion when he boxes, its mini whitaker.

 

This is a very tough fight but Calderon had fought Mosley and De la Hoya is sparring here and did pretty well to, DE la Hoya couldn't touch him. They sp[arred when Mosley was in Puerto Rico training with De la Hoya for Floyd fight, so he maybe win the fight.

 

Calderon is not getting youger, i would say that a prime Calderon would rivalise in skills with Whitaker. Although Pernell had better power.
