MANILA – Fresh from a technical draw with Filipino Rodel Mayol, World Boxing Organization (WBO) junior flyweight champion Ivan Calderon reiterated his statement that he wanted to fight International Boxing Federation (IBF) king Brian Viloria.

“I want Brian Viloria. If I don’t get Viloria, sure we don’t got no problem giving Mayol a rematch,” the Puerto Rican said in an interview with “The Kristal Hart Show” posted on FightFan.com.

“He gave a good fight, he's a good challenger we could get it on again,” Calderon said of Mayol, also called “Batang Mandaue.”

The Calderon-Mayol undercard match featured in the “Cotto vs. Clottey” event last Saturday at the Madison Square Garden (Sunday in Manila) ended after six rounds.

The bout was stopped at 1:15 in the sixth round because of “excessive bleeding from Calderon's cut on the forehead caused by an accidental head butt,” PhilBoxing.com reported.

The judges’ scores were 58-56 for Mayol, 58-56 for Calderon, and 57-57.

Calderon also shared with “The Kristal Hart Show” that he kept on fighting even if he got “two or three head butts.”

“It woke me up and I kept on fighting real hard. When I sat down, they looked at it real good and they said it was so deep that they had to stop it,” he related.

The Puerto Rican said he got six stitches. “I think we gotta give it a rest because they gave me like thirty days that I can’t do nothing.”

“And then like August, Brian Viloria or the rematch,” he added.

Calderon earlier told dzSR’s Sports Chat with Dennis Principe that he and Viloria clashed thrice in the amateur ranks. Viloria triumphed twice while Calderon won once.

“Right now Viloria, being the number 1 name, could help me have a little more name because he has been to the Olympics, to the USA team,” he said.

Meanwhile, Calderon also gave his appreciation to all the Puerto Ricans who supported him at the Madison Square Garden. “I feel real good. When I came out of the room, I felt the heat of the Puerto Rico people and it felt good.”
