I would kiss you dead smack on the lips right now if I could...


Truth be told I think your a "closet" fan of Mijares. Deep down inside I think when you watch him you find yourself enjoying him and actually root for him.
Also when you say man love he gets, I've been cheering for him since he beat up Arce and I predicted he'd beat Arce.
I've defended him time and time again I personally don't think theres a lot of man love for him when you compare it to the likes of Pac, Calzaghe or PBF.
Thing is though with Pacquiao, Calzaghe and Floyd, for every rabid fan you have a counterbalancing irrational hater. With Mijares though everybody loves him. Plus if anything he looks more of a physical joke than even I do, with a tiny, malformed body,and a ridiculously nerdy face. He looks like someone that little kids in the street would beat up if he went out for a run.

But I'll give him credit, the kid can fight. I've never been an irrational hater, even if I am a petty hater. I mean even the fighters I don't like i.e. Haye, Mijares etc I can still acknowledge their skills.

To be honest though Mijares probably has become something of a guilty pleasure. Sure I'll laugh my ass off publicly if Darchinyan knocks him out but I expect Mijares to put on a bigger beatdown of Vic than Donaire did, which which I guess shows that I obviously rate him highly.
