Amsterdam made a horrible bet and will soon be banished.

    As it stands now, only by a better technical boxer than he is, none of those are around and for a good reason.

    I take offence to this sir.

    Beat 3 top 10 contenders more definitively than anybody else did. TKOing Kawashima, Lacying Arce and outclassing Navarro wide.

    About to unify the division also. I guess he's done nothing, because he's defeated only maybe 1 name that you personally have heard of.

    Mijares is God.

    That's why I will always win in these types of bets.

    More A beats B, so A beats C nonsense.

    But let me give you a little heads up on that one. Mijares back in the Maldonado fight was not as developed as he was now, you have not seen the Maldonado fight, I have seen the Maldonado fight. The Maldonado that Donaire got was a shot fighter, very much eroded from how he was at his best.

    On top of that, fight ought to have been scored 7-5 Mijares with the bout sucking Mijares into a war instead of boxing.

    He's consistently improving and will continue to do so. Boxrec warrior.

    I remember he was gone for a month on his Popo KO Juan Diaz prediction.

    Amsterdam's generally a good poster, he just overestimates his favorite boxers, especially Guzman and Mijares.

    Yeah, I apologise for that failure, it was actually me tired of hearing all the hype on Juan Diaz. But then of the other side, had I stuck to my guns and continued to believe that Diaz was just very good and not actual P4P top class level like everybody else after the Freitas victory, I'd have taken my guy Nate Campbell's chances a lot more seriously, even though I knew he'd give us a better fight than Julio or Acelino.

    I don't overestimate Guzman or Mijares.

    People say Rafa vs. Mijares and I give Mijares little to no chance at all, but I don't see how claiming that he'll clean 115 out is overestimating him when he's easily the best there by a good margin.

    Guzman is just not even human.

    This time you're wrong Amsterdam. I understand that Pavlik, Berto, and Margarito are flawed fighters.

    While Mijares may not have any technical flaws per se, Donaire has the athleticism, skill, adaptability, and borderline arrogance necessary to beat him.

    Mijares will lose.

    You should admit to PacDBest that you were wrong, and ask him to make this an avatar bet instead of a lifetime ban.

    I generally don't do time-off bets, or even avatar bets, but I'd be entirely confident picking Mijares to beat Donaire. I've seen several Donaire fights, and he's in a class below Mijares.

    I don't believe it.

    It is true that Donaire is an athletic phenom, while Mijares is a highly educated boxer; however, Donaire will rise to the occasion and what he lacks in experience he will gain as he adapts to Mijares and beats him soundly by UD or possible KO.

    Yah man. He can't go in there thinking that Mijares is a "GOD."

    I simply don't get this - Nonito will fight Hussein Hussein Friday night April 18th and has either Z Gorres or Vic Darchinyan to defend his IBF Flyweight title next, and Christian Mijares has a possible unification with Dimitri Kirilov at 115 pounds after tough challenge in Jose Navarro... And there is a lifetime ban bet between PacDBest and Amsterdam for a Donaire-Mijares match? This must be intended to break our concentration about the upcoming fights. Bizarre stuff...

    How is he going to beat Mijares in a tactical fight from the outside when Mijares has the advantages in the jab department, workrate department, and defensive department?

    To me, this is a fight that Donaire simply cannot win.

    Donaire is faster, harder hitting, has better reflexes, and doesn't need to match Mijares workrate to win this fight.

    Mijares will be getting tagged with shots he only knew existed in his nightmares, and when he throws back, Donaire won't be there, and if he is, it's because Donaire is so confident that nothing Mijares throws is hurting him.

    Aside from lack of experience, Donaire's only weakness is becoming reckless at times due to overconfidence.

    Did I mention that Donaire has KO power in both hands?

    Everyone likes to talk about his left hook, but I think they need to worry more about his right hand.

    I assume you made a typo. If that is indeed the case and you meant to write 'Donaire,' I'll have to disagree with the reflexes. Mijares's reflexes are astounding; the way he aniticipates punches from the inside and the outside and his ability to catch/slip/duck/roll. It's safe to say he has much more defensive variety than Donaire.

    Donaire might be a shade faster, but Mijares is very fast as well.

    Donaire will find himself at the end of Mijares's jab, getting picked off at a distance, outmanuvered, and generally hit with the cleaner, more accurate punches. Mijares can beat him at whatever range he choses.

    Great line. I don't know if he is not human but there are plenty of super feather humans that are ducking him and that's most probably because they'll know they would lose. Guzman is also one of my favourites so I don't like him against Alex Arthur - put him in there for the future vacant WBC Junior Lightweight title with JMM and end of the story...
