The WBO flyweight champion Ivan Calderon (L) defends his title (GettyImages)
Ivan "Iron Boy" Calderon has been down this road before against Hugo Cazares, having defeated him once already in 2007. This rematch will have Calderon's Ring/WBO junior flyweight title on the line. Calderon is one of the best fighters to ever come out of Puerto Rico and is undefeated in 31 fights with 6 KOs. He will need to stay away from the more powerful Cazares and stick and move. Cazares (26-4-1, 19 KOs) still has a bitter taste in his mouth after losing a close split decision in their first fight which cost him his title. He is another in a long line of tough fighters from Mexico who has the strength to end this fight with one well placed punch. He is a southpaw which can frustrate opponents and cannot afford another loss to Calderon at this stage in his career.
UNDERCARDS: Roman Martinez vs. Santos Benavides, 12 rounds, junior featherweights; Eric Morel vs. Heriberto Ruiz, 12 rounds, bantamweights; Euri Gonzalez vs. Edwin Vazquez, 12 rounds, welterweights
