 The legs were there for a couple rounds, but Ivan Calderon couldn't maintain the movement to steer clear of Giovanni Segura in the main event in Mexicali, Mexico on Saturday night. Segura took out Calderon, who had good luck in the first two rounds moving and jabbing and staying off the ropes, in the third round of this sequel to their 2010 classic. The KO end came, from a pileup of body shots and a sharp right, at 1:39, for the hitter who will jump up a weigh class in his next bout. Tags:Giovanni SeguraIvan Calderon... Read more...

But Lopez hung tough, and made Lundy work every round of the scheduled ten in the main event of ESPN's Friday Night Fights, which took place at Foxwoods in Mashantucket, CT.
