if Gesta ends up as JMM's opponent on this card, this will be an easy decision for me on whether to purchase the PPV or not. I won't.
Mijares is fighting above his best weight and his best days are well in the rear-view mirror. Donaire's going to beat him pretty badly in a fight I'm not really that excited for.
Seriously, look at each man's career momentum in that time. Granted, Mijares has eked out a respectable little comeback and looked decent of late - but he's nowhere near what he was, at his prime age and optimal weight. Donaire meanwhile is at his absolute peak and is physically far more suited to SBW.
I seem to remember a quote from Donaire's management about them looking for a fight that makes him look good. What's that? Mijares? Oh. I get it.
Hopefully not, but Mijares is a damn good fighter. Considering he fought not long ago, I'll give him a pass. Mijares @ 122 truly means little.
Apparently Mares upped the price in the last minute. Not sure what happened to Arce. Doesn't Nishioka have a fight already lined up ? Not sure.
