Cristian Mijares-Francisco Arce Appears Set For April 10
By Mark Vester
A rematch between Cristian Mijares and Jorge Arce might be getting closer. Reports in Mexico have revealed that Mijares is going to fight Jorge's brother Francisco "Panchito" Arce in a ten round contest on April 10 in Durango. Mijares has been fighting at bantamweight but agreed to take the fight at super flyweight.
He hopes a win over Francisco will lead to a rematch with Jorge. Mijares won a decision over Jorge Arce in 2007. Jorge recently won the WBO title at the weight.
"I've really been training well, but I hope I can beat 'Panchito', and then challenge his brother for the World Boxing Organization world title," said Mijares.
