    this is an article i read from a sight about news in a fight.

    Jorge Arce had an undefeated streak of over 25 fights until he got in the ring with Cristian Mijares. That fateful night, April 14, 2007, in San Antonio, Tex., Mijares had his number, repeatedly counterpunching Arce with crushing combinations, and appearing on the verge of stopping the champion.
    Now, Saturday night, Mijares will defend the belt he won from Arce against another champ--Alexander Munoz--in a PPV unification bout.
    Less than a week away from the showdown, Fight caught up with Mijares.
    FightNews: Thank you Mijares for this exclusive interview.
    Mijares: The pleasure is all mine.
    FN: Did you think that win over Jorge Arce was going to be easy?
    M: I knew it was going to be a tough fight. I have seen Arce fight and that is why I was well prepared.
    FN: Your pro career started pretty shaky , but you are in a 20+ fights undefeated streak--What changed?
    M: Self-confidence. I know in this sport you lose some and you win some. I set my mind to win and that helped me gain my self-confidence.
    FN: Even though you are ranked in the top of five in your weight division on all major lists, but you are hardly known in the US and Mexico; What do you think needs to happen to change that?
    M: You're right. That's my goal. I want everyone to know who I'm. After my win against Jorge Arce, I got great exposure, so my plan is to continue to fight big names.
    FN: On paper, Alexander Munoz seems to be your toughest challenge, how ready are you for this fight?
    M: Munoz is a difficult fighter. He's a boxer and that is why I'm 100% percent ready and if God is with me, I will come home with a belt.
    FN: Did you train for this fight as any other, or did you work on specific techniques for Munoz?
    M: I'm training the same. I didn't change my techniques. Every thing has worked for me in my past fights so I am keeping everything the same.

    FN: Munoz is considered a hard puncher--are you worried about his power?
    M: I do not worry, I'm going to be cautious, I have been in the ring with powerful boxers. Arce hits hard. He's a power puncher. That doesn't bother me, I have a great chin.
    FN: We all know that no fighter likes to look ahead or past their next opponent, but are planning on staying at 115 for long, are you ready to conquer other divisions?
    M: That's part of the plan--to move up in division.
    FN: How do you feel about Jorge Arce fighting on the same night as you?
    M: It doesn't bother me. Fans are going to watch my fight instead. Arce looks like he's ready for retirement. His promoters are trying to bring him back, but fans will follow me, you will see.
    FN: Being the only man to break Arce's undefeated streak, do feel any pressure?
    M: It's a big responsibility. I can't let my boxing fans down. After winning against Arce fans expect me to win.
    FN: Your final thoughts?
    M: First. I will like to thank all my boxing fans. On May 17, you will see two warriors in the ring, so don't miss my fight.

    as you can see it's a pretty good interview but he really wants no part of monteil . and would rather fight arce a man he clearly outboxed and domminated then to fight Monteil.

    it's a good thing munoz is going to put him to bed so the we can have him fight monteil wich i know will be a barn burner:bbb

    SO much for Amstedam's constant bullshitting of "Only wanting the best because he's godly" .... Expect him to leap off this wagon just as he did Guzman's.

    Anyway...money is always the decision maker at the end of the day.

    Mijares is still pretty young. I don't expect this to be the norm. Big money fights in the lighter weights is rare, so this is probably wise.

    EDIT: and when i say harm i don't mean some run of the mill ass whooping i mean he's going to damage him.

    yeah but remeber monteil was young back then and not as experienced. plus he's come a long way and fights better. i though he fought a close fight with gonzalez and had him up by a point.

    On another recent interview he stated that he wanted to unify and then try to unify 118, even if he did take an Arce rematch, he's active and would jump in with Montiel if the fight was an oppurtunity.

    Mijares has stated he wants to be great.

    I doubt the rematch would happen though, Arce can't take another one of those.

    Expect matches with Montiel, Donaire and the lot in the near future.

    All he said is that he would like to give Arce a rematch. He didn't say that he doesn't want to unify or he doesn't want to face Montiel in the future if he could. Arce is a bigger name in Mexico than a lot of people here realize and a rematch would attract a lot of people there. It's not like he said "I don't want Montiel, I only want to fight Arce for money and then move up a division". If he can't get a fight with Montiel, then what's so bad about an Arce rematch? It would be better than seeing him against some fight against a C level to keep active.

    But personally, I would hate to see Mijares-Arce 2. Arce got punished enough in the first fight. He's insane to constantly talk about wanting another Mijares fight, but he wants to be part of a big event and this would be a big event in Mexico.
