ITT: Abbadon fanboys that can't accept that he isn't very good against King Smurf.

Calgar has Termie Armor, dual powerfists, an AP2 storm bolter, Orbital Bombardment, and can reroll to wound.

Abbadon can't puncture his armor, and has much worse shooting. And gets random attacks and random daemon weapon effects.

Fluff: Sure, Abbadon would take it.

InGame: Calgar is better in a standoff 1v1.

(Consider X vs. Y to be in-game how two would fight: deployed in a deployment zone 24"-36" away with difficult terrain and stuff. Shooting is a big deal in this, and ultimately would win Calgar the day.)

ITT: You can't read. Abbaddon has an AP2 weapon. You mad?

Abaddon strikes first, hits on a 3+, rerolls failed to-hits in the first combat phase, then in the combat phase he wounds on a 3+, rerolling 1's to wound (Preferred Enemy: Marines), and then strikes through Calgar's Terminator Armor.

You irate?
