After reigning 8 years of dominance on his belt , mini flyweight champion Ivan Calderon made an honorable submission in the hands of a young mexican warrior in the name of Giovanni Segura, a relentless hard hitting "Air Bender". Though Calderon fought heavy handed fighters in the past like Rodel Mayol and Hugo Cazares to name a few, they cannot handle the Iron Boys stick and jab move. Calderon at age 35 really shows that sooner or later he is gonna get caught, and he was caught real "Big" with a powerful liver shot to the body. I remembered an old Gerry Penalosa had miracle liver shot to the body to a prime Johnny Gonzales. On the case of Calderon it was the other way around, a natural way ,where young lions like in a Wild Africa emerged as king of the pride and an old male would exit his way after long years of dominance.. Though I give all the credit in the world to Ivan for defending his belt for 8 long years.. Goodluck to Giovanni Segura ..may he protect his belt gallantly to new Nemesis..photos courtesy of fightnews.com
