Good fight to test Donaire to see if he is worthy of fighting Mijares. I still think Mijares spanks Donaire any day.
I agree people overlook him. He is pretty good IMO. I would say its gonna be a tough fight for Donaire and we will see if he can compete with the good fighters at 115. If he gets the win then Mijares-Donaire must happen. That will end all this Donaire hype.
Montiel got an ugly Draw with Gonzales, Got a disputed win against Gorres. Don't overrate Montiel. Mijares was Good & I picked him to beat Arce. The same Arce who's ducking Dachinyan.. Who's eventually was Koed by Donaire. Mijares Who's got a Draw with Maldonado who Donaire Koed & Dominated. Don't overrate Mijares either. Say goodbye to Amsterdam!!!:hi:
Pernell Whitaker was beat by DLH who was beat by Mosley who was beat by Forrest who was beat by Mayorga. Oh wait did that mean anything?... sorry...
Looking up to boxrec again noob. Montiel actually lost to Gonzales, who is a great fighter and still has several great match ups ahead of him and will be a huge impact in the higher weight divisions, their fight was very contested. There is no footage available from the Gorrez fight to formulate a good opinion. There is also no footage and articles regarding Mijarez/Maldonado to see what really happened. Mijarez is one of the most deserving fighters today for the top 10 p4p list, and I don't believe Donaire has a good chance of beating him. Montiel will be a tough cookie to crack for Donaire, I do hope that this fight gets made or Donaire accepts the rematch with Vic.
It's hilarious that you keep mentioning this and now everyone knows it, there will be no backing out when you get sent on your little way out of ESB.:yep
I'm picking Montiel. I suspect Donaire was having weight troubles before his last fight, so I think he's big enough for the weight class, but Montiel is just too good.
