    Which win was more convincing? the win over Navarro or the one over Munoz?

    Navarro; better opponent, better performance by both. Very good contested fight.

    what i meant was did you think that Mijares beat Navarro more clearly than Munoz or the other way around.

    Hard to say. Mijares fought very well against Navarro and won by a couple of points against a very good opponent. Against Munoz, he fought much less well, but Munoz did not fight as well as Navarro either; had Mijares up by a couple of points in that one too.

    Both were clear, Munoz was dominated and there is no way to say 'he beat him clearly', when he won almost every single round and Munoz was busted up and thrown around like a ragdoll.

    Navarro was beaten some 9 rounds to 3, that's as decisive as you want it.

    Have you seen both fights? Both were highly definitive victories, with Munoz being dominated a bit worse.

    Another thing is that Navarro actually had a fractured cheek bone and a broken nose, with excess swelling, Munoz went home a little less beaten up, but lost more rounds.

    I watched the fight the other day and the SD was a joke. Mijares won at least 8 rounds.

    Navarro had better moments, and has been said, earned more points.

    Both got their asses kicked, and neither wishes their name was Jorge Arce. :yep

    I voted Navarro. Mijares employed a very intelligent strategy over the first third of the Munoz fight, but it didn't make for scintillating action. He dominated Navarro from bell to bell.

    If the poll was "more significant win", of course I'd vote Munoz.

    I gave Munoz 1 round, with a point docked, but either way, it's a highly dominant victory with Mijares deserving a 10-8 in the 10th round when he nearly took Munoz's head off with an uppercut and won the round dominant anyway.

    As I said, it's unfair that Mijares has to win a least 9 rounds to get a split decision victory.

    Only due to the unfortunate realities of name recognition, I'd hope? Head to head, I'd not advise blindly favoring Munoz over Navarro just because the one was more highly ranked and decorated. The greater significance of the Munoz fight lies more in the title itself and the prestige of unification than the actual merit of the fighter representing that title, as compared to an equal if not greater talent, and tougher stylistic obstacle, like Navarro.
