Round 1- Segura comes out and attacks the body. Calderon moving away from Segura's relentless attack and boxing effectively. Segura looking to impose his size including a 4'' height advantage. Segura throws wide and misses but is landing some good body shots. Calderon's jab is on point. Close round. 10-9 Calderon

Round 2- Segura is nonstop with his attack. He is landing a lot of body shots and seems to be his main weapon for this fight. Calderon's jab is also landing and keeping Segura at a distance. Right hook lands for Calderon. Segura gets a warning for throwing a low blow. Not warranted in my opinion because he is throwing body shots nonstop. Good punches thrown by Segura to end a close round. 10-9 Segura

Round 3- Bell rings and Segura is immediately on Calderon. Both fighters exchange hooks. Segura lands a dozen body shots and Calderon is hurt. Calderon goes down after Segura hits him with a dozen more body shots.

Undercard bout: Jorge Lacierva (38-7-6) def. Fernando Beltran Jr. (35-4-1) by unanimous decision.

The action was relatively slow to start the first of two featherweight bouts. It was close at first, but Lacierva picked up the pace in the middle of the fight and landed his best combination in the sixth round. 

Both fighters exchanged power shots in the seventh round, but it was all Lacierva. The eight and ninth were similar to the early stages of the fight with Lacierva controlling the action with body punches and inside fighting. Beltran spent the ninth complaining about headbutts and about getting punched behind the head.

Lacierva landed the best punch of the fight in the tenth round. With the extensive clinching and inside fighting, the fight has fallen into a similar pattern through twelve rounds.
