    According to the scene. Moreno's April defence has been scrapped so it looks like its close.

    Sets up the winner to face the Bantamweight tournement winner for all 4 belts.

    Bantamweight (118lbs)
    World Championship: (Vacant)

    All jokes aside if Donaire or one of the others were to clean up the division and hold all 4 belts, followed by vacating and moving up to 122lbs it would leave things open for a fighter like Jamie.

    You would expect McDonnell to defend his European title 2-3 more times this year and be ready to push for a world belt in 2012 if he carrys on the way he is.

    Definitely you would expect Donaire to move up if he unified and as long as Jamie defends his belt a few more times he will be right in contention because as soon as donaire vacates there will be 8 challengers for the vacant title which would put Jamie in with a decent shout

    Brilliant fight. Moreno is a great, unorthodox type of fighter, it will be fascinating to watch. Winner iof this v mares-agbeko winner, 2 losers against each other would be great

    Would be. Kind of have to hope Agbeko wins because Mares won't be put in with Donaire.

    I've not seen Moreno to be honest. Ever.

    I try not to judge boxers off records alone, so can anyone tell me a bit about him? In terms of style, strengths and weaknesses?

    Cheers

    i meant because Mares is with GBP.

    Also I wouldn't be suprised is Showtime have an option on the winner simular to the Super Six.

    Tall gangly guy, very little power. Slips shots well and has good footwork. Has a tendency to take rounds off at times. Last time I saw him was the Cermeno rematch and while he deserved the win, he wasnt at his best.Rumours hes having trouble at the weight as well. Id give him a good chance against the tournament winner but dont think he will do it against Donaire

    Pretty much sums him up perfectly. Throws a high volume of punches, very tough customer for everybody as he is difficult to pin down. I'd have him up there with montiel and mares as the main men in the division behind donaire obviously

    He's pretty rangy and awkward, but nothing Donaire won't be able to handle.

    Moreno's head movement is very limited, consistingly mostly of just him dipping a bit to his left when he see's a punch coming. His punch output doesn't have much variation either, he throws mostly straight shots and 1-2's, neither of which are particularly difficult to counter.

    His style may make it tough to sustain an attack against, but he's limited and there is very little chance of him beating Donaire.

    makes sense, then the winner of Agbeko-Mares can face of Donaire to sort out the unification and lineage of the division.
