Kirilov is no chump -- I got him on tape getting robbed in a fight against Luis Alberto Perez. I think that he will make it a good fight but I think that Mijares is too fast.
I think Montiel should be held off on for a couple of fights (obviously all opponents until then should be top ten), but it will raise the stakes of that fight (and the visibility - maybe even an HBO card headlining spot?) if both guys do some divisional tag-team house-cleaning before meeting up.
Mijares has offered the fight to Kirilov. If Kirilov accepts the fight and he wins - there is something in the contract calling for a rematch in Russia. Kirilov's team didnt seem real interested in the fight. Mike This content is protected
easy win for mijares... he is the TRUE champ in superfly.. i just don't see anybody beating him right now at sf.. even if my countryman donaire (as much as i love him since he is filipino and also a talented boxer) moves up there is no way that he could beat him.. and kirilov's team knows that he is in for a beating if they pit him against a master boxer like mijares..
