    ;-) Nah, just how it never goes that smoothly.

    If that happened by the way, who would you say comes out on top? I'm rolling with the Thai, of course :deal

    Mijares should retire if he can't beat this guy. He fought like an amateur against Napa. He was fortunate Napa has some kind of growth problem and is 3 feet tall with average foot movement. Thats always been Napa's kryptonite, somebody that uses range and is fast on their feet which is basically all Bouziane did. It was still amateurish and didn't impress me.

    Main problem with Mijares is strength/power I think. Against Darchinyan the firepower difference was pretty crucial. It's not much fun when your opponent hurts you with every punch and you can't do **** yourself. Unless you're absolutely exceptional thats not a good situation and more often than not it isn't ending well. Plus he seemed to struggle with how unorthodox Darchinyan was whereas Mijares has a fairly classical style with some old school pivots/upper body movement thrown in but he couldn't find a rhythm at all against Vic and looked shellshocked throughout. Since then he's likely struggled for confidence after such a good unbeaten run came crashing to a halt, though its possible Cermeno was better than expected.

    I don't like Gonzalez moving up any further than he has already.

    His power already failed to carry up from straw to light fly, IMO - and that is his absolute ceiling. Going up to full fly chasing Segura is a bad, bad idea and I've been saying so since Gonzalez-Vargas (and even more enthusiastically since Segura-Calderon II).

    Well, Bouziane was out, and for a few weeks Raul Martinez was in, now a cut to the bridge of his nose suffered in sparring means he's also out, and the ordinary Carlos Rueda comes in. In saying that, he's not too bad an opponent considering it was at a weeks notice.

    No Flea, that was Hernan Marquez and Luis Concepcion at flyweight.

    Yep, Donaire beat Marquez, and also gave Martinez his only career loss, which would have been two if not for the cut, mind you.
