By Jason Kim: Having been stopped in his last two fights at light flyweight [108 lbs], former flyweight/light flyweight champion Ivan Calderon (34-2-1, 6 KO’s) plans on moving back down to 105 to try and recapture the previous success he had at that weight.

Calderon was stopped last weekend by WBO light flyweight champion Giovanni Segura by a 3rd round stoppage after getting pummeled against the ropes with a devastating body attack. Calderon was also stopped by Segura in the 8th round last year in August.

Calderon now will be looking to drop down in weight to try and regain his form at flyweight. From 2003 to 2007, Calderon was the WBO flyweight champion. He moved up in weight in August 2007, and captured the WBO light flyweight title with a controversial 12 round split decision win over Huge Fidel Cazares.

Although Calderon found success at this weight, he wasn’t nearly as dominating as he was at 105. In 2008, Calderon began to run into problems with a series of fights against Cazares and Rodel Mayol that ended with Calderon getting cut from head clashes and the fights stopped prematurely due to the severity of the cuts. Calderon didn’t look good in any of the fights and looked like he may have been in danger of losing had the fights made it to the final bell.

Calderon reportedly wants to go after his old WBO title at 105, which is currently held by Donnie Neites. It’ll be interesting to see if Calderon has enough left in the tank to win a title at this because he’s getting up there in age at 36 now, and he may be too old to beat someone like Nietes.
