Arroyo-Villanueva Could Make Chavez a Walk-Out Bout

By Cliff Rold - For the second week in a row, the best fight of the week on paper is probably getting the least attention stateside. Part of that is due to the weight of the fighters involved. Part of it is being lost in a glut of weekend action and lurking on the undercard of one of the most covered fighters in the world. Last Saturday, the Jr. Flyweight title bout between Donnie Nietes and Francisco Rodriguez Jr. played out in the ring as what it appeared to be on paper. It was the best fight of the day. This one has the potential to turn the soft landing return of former Middleweight beltholder Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. from main event to walk out bout. On the Chavez undercard (Showtime, Saturday, 10 PM EST/7 PM PST), Puerto Rican 2007 Bronze Medal winner at the World Amateur Championships and 2008 Olympian McJoe Arroyo (16-0, 8 KO) faces Filipino Arthur Villanueva (27-0, 14 KO) for the vacant IBF 115 lb. title. If it ends up being the best fight on Showtime this year, it wouldn’t be a huge shock. Arroyo is a smart boxer-puncher while Villanueva has displayed craft and sharp outbursts of power. Arroyo has already stopped former WBA Flyweight champion Tyson Marquez. Villanueva arrives at this fight with dominant decision wins over a then-undefeated Marco Demecillo and former WBO Flyweight champion Julio Cesar Miranda.

Filipino Johnreil Casimero (21-3, 13KOs) will get the opportunity to put himself in line for revenge, as the IBF has placed him in position for a final eliminator. The sanctioning body has ordered Casimero to face McWilliams Arroyo of Puerto Rico for a mandatory shot at IBF champion Amnat Ruenroeng. Late last month, Casimero traveled to Thailand and lost a twelve round decision to Ruenroeng in one of the dirtiest fights in recent memory. The referee of the contest, Larry Doggett, was highly criticized for allowing the champion to get away with multiple fouls and infractions.
