Agreed. And I consider myself to be a Donaire fan. If held in SoCal, there could be a nice atmosphere for the fight.
Even at this stage I wouldn't really have that big a problem with this fight...it's just by the time this fight rolls around it's pushing 6 months between innings for Nonito...and I'm guessing it will be about that till his next fight..which I'm betting they are going to drag Arce out for. So basically we can forget about Rigo, Nishioka or even JuanMa-Salido winner for a while.
I still like to see this one, though I am not sure if Mijares is still the same or has already lost his mojo. Mijares has problem with awkward fighters (Darchinyan) but he controlled the aggressive ones. Should be a better fight than Arce-Donaire.
I'm a little disappointed. I would've preferred Nishioka, Arce or Rigo. Oh well, hopefully it's just a tune-up and a better match be made next. Money-wise it was a smart decision though.
This is bull****! What happen to that dangerous Mexican that beat Montiel? Terrazas. I thought he was the one! atsch
BS fight, plain and simple. Mijares was in his prime a few years back, but has clearly lost a step or two. Donaire beating him proves absolutely nothing.
crap fight.... but we can all look forward to world champion chris john who is fighting in may against TBA im sure he steps up this time..... (not)
