AL BERNSTEIN ANNOUNCES SEGURA-CALDERON REMATCH

Thu, 31 Mar 2011
Al Bernstein will serve as analyst on the Saturday, April 2nd pay per view telecast of the WBO Light Flyweight Championship match between Giovani Segura and former champ Ivan Calderon. Benny Ricardo will be Al?s broadcast partner for the broadcast, which is distributed in the United States by Integrated Sports Media.
Segura and Calderon fought last October and Segura upset the then world champion. The 36 year old Calderon had been a world champ since 2003. Bernstein, who is celebrating his 30th anniversary as a sports broadcaster, said this rematch should be as exciting as their first match, which was one of the top contenders for fight of the year in 2010. ?Calderon looked unbeatable for so many years,? Al said, ?and so even as he hit his mid 30?s, it was hard to imagine Ivan losing. When Segura did it with a TKO, a rematch was inevitable and it?s a real treat for boxing fans.?
Bernstein said that Calderon, who has only 6 knockouts in his 34 wins must box effectively to avoid losing again to the relentless Segura, who has 22 stoppages in his 26 wins. ?These two lefties create a fascinating match-up and adding spice to this is that it?s probably Segura?s last match at 108, and could be one of Calderon?s last major fights,? Al said.
