WTF BBQ? Mijares lost again?

[killersheep]

I noticed this on Galaxy's fantasy boxing thread. I didn't even know he was fighting this weekend officially a SD loss. Mijares was trying to step up into the Bantam weight class and didn't succeed.

I always thought Cristian was overrated...He lacks KO power and I was never overly impressed with his boxing skills..

He has a win over Arce and split decision wins over Munoz and Navarro........

Gonna have to disagree, Mijares had great skill as a boxer. True he didn't have a lot of power, but his wins over Munoz and Navarro were solid wins against solid opponents. I don't know who you think is a better boxer skill wise at 115, the only one I can think of is Montiel.

Maybe I am overreacting but I can never get too excited about guys that lack power because they cant keep an opponent honest....

I agree Cristian is a pretty skillful fighter but his style doesnt appeal to me....The fact that his style doesnt appeal to me probably contributes to me saying he is overrated......which it shouldnt.....

[:::PSL:::]

Mijares aint NO overrated. I think that Darchinyan lost got him pretty psychologicaly and emotionally.

A real champion should and must bounce back from setbacks.

I will assume you accidentally missed Kawashima name on there.
Beat him twice.

I def. agree with this...
He's not the 1st and wont be the last boxer to suffer to loses.
He needs to gather himself and get it together.
It's one of the criterias I use for determining greatness.
How does the boxer cope with adversity?

So you think nothing of those wins because those are 2 very good wins over a former champ.

Well as a long time public hater of Mijares it just proves what I've said all along. You cannot be a dead ringer for Hollywood uber nerd DJ Qualls and expect to be taken seriously in a boxing ring.

He'll have to go back to making guest appearances on My Name Is Earl, and playing the role of the freak in any future Seth Rogan films.

His next big matchup should be a comedy with that kid who played McLovin in Superbad.

I cant really comment on them because I havent seen the wins....

I am basing my decision on the fights I have seen of Mijares....Maybe I shouldnt have said overrated....I just was never a fan and was surprised when I saw him on the Ring top ten pd for pd a while ago...

[gest12645]

I was surprised by this one. Mijares last two wins by Sd were close fights but def Mijares wins. The judges that gave it to the other guys were blind probably

[BoomBoom]

He just came off a ko loss and moved up in weight. A SD loss to an undefeated kid isnt a horribe result. And it doesnt make him overratted.

[Galaxy]

Mijares is a very skillful fighter, but for a slickster he gets hit to much. I think he's still one of the best guys at 115 & thats where he should stay imo.

Nonito Donaire has more or equal skills with Mijares and definitely has more power...
