Live from the WaMu Theater at Madison Square Garden, light flyweight champion Ivan Calderon will be defending his Ring belt, lineal title and WBO title against Jesus Iribe. At 35 years old, the 33-0-1 Iron Boy has started to show chinks in the armor, having struggled in recent bouts with Rodel Mayol and Hugo Cazares. In his two previous title attempts, Iribe came up short against Edgar Sosa and Brian Viloria.

The 5'0" Calderon has promised a knockout win, which would be his first in four years and only the seventh of his career. Both fighters weighed in at 106 pounds.

In addition, prospects Glen Tapia and McWilliams Arroyo should be fighting on the card.

The televised card will be starting at 10:00 p.m. Eastern on Fox Sports Net and Fox Sports Espanol.

Damn, McWilliams Arroyo's bubble already got burst

Or maybe that Japanese guy is just better than expected.

Wow, that was terrible matchmaking for McWilliams Arroyo! Why would you put two good prospects to fight at that early stage in their careers?

Great fight though!

Was that a legit knockdown?

I looked away and Calderon was down. They never showed a replay!

Announcers were saying it was knockdown during the next round

Saying Calderon got caught by the right.

It was a combination of a punch and Calderon’s legs getting tangled so they counted it, but he wasn’t hurt or in any kind of danger.

Sorry,

I know this is well after the fact, but was this on the general Fox Sports station?

Or was it some kind of PPV.
Disappointed that I didn’t look in yesterday now.

On the front page

On the left hand side, there’s a link for “fight schedules”. That will make all my schedule posts come up, and those have TV times and networks.
