Cracking fights imo.
I'm going to be a ball of energy that night. Can't wait ;)
Nice fights
Navarro's just not quite good enough to beat Mijares, should be fairly competitive but clear win for Mijares
I'll go ahead and take Castillo, Montiel's looked a bit shaky lately IMO. Then again I haven't seen Castillo since the Nobuo fight so I'm not totally confident in that pick.
Navarro seems an agonising step below world class to me and Mijares is world class.Anyone seen Mijares draw with Maldonado?
I favour Martin Castillo over Montiel too,based on better fundamentals imo.I think he can counter his way to a points win,as Montiel can be a bit wild. It'll be close though,especially as I think Castillo has lost a step since coming back from the surgery on his eyes,which seem to open up frequently :-\ A Montiel TKO on cuts is not out of the question,he packs alot of power.
Mijares will go down as one of Mexicos finest fighters along side 'Finito' Lopez, Canto & Roman.
:o :o Wow,that's ALOT of confidence. I can't really say much about him other than he has looked hugely impressive in the 3 fights I have of his(2 with Kwashima(sp?) and Arce)Quote:

Mijares is the shit, really like watching him fight
A tip for Navarro, if he knocks you down, don't touch gloves with him once you get up.
:D :D :DQuote:

I read that he will unify the division against Kirilov if all goes well against Navarro. Kirilovs skilled man but I'd favor Mijares.
Have you been smoking something Ice? He's already been beaten 3 times and got a draw against Maldonado a year ago.Quote:

He'll beat both Navarro & Kirilov this year he'll then fight a third time in 2008 maiking that defense #6 I think then 2 more fights early 2009 then he'll move up in weight.Quote:

Mijares should have been more busy that night vs. Maldonado but he wasn't he learned from that. Hes coming to an age man and the guys as skilled as they come. You'll eat your words Bilbs, then again it wont be the 1st or the last....
i agree with all of ya mijares is the shiznit. all of us had him being the one to dethrone the armenian raging bull..... that was until the armenian raging bull walked right into the fight of the filipino flash lol ;D
is this going to be on regular free HBO or expensive PPV? ;D
heard its gonna be at MGM sounds tempting to go actually
PPV
Pretty solid undercard!
Can't wait for Montiel/ Castillo!!! Has the potential to steal the show! I think Castillo wins a close decision or by late stoppage in an absolute barn barner!
I'll make a prediction about Mijares... if he fights Castillo he gets beat!!!
More I think about it I'm not sure about Castillo/Montiel. Guess I'm still slightly favoring Castillo but its not an easy fight to call.
I'd probably take Mijares to beat either in good fights.
Great night of fights. Unfortunately, I'll be catching this on sky or Setanta, so I'll be limited ion what I get to see.
Mijares is an outstanding fighter. And he may well go down as one of Mexico's finest. But I would favor Montiel in a fight between them.Quote:
