Cristian Mijares Picks Rojas To Beat Jorge Arce

Two-time world champion Jorge Arce says he will win on Top Rank's big 'Viva Mexico!' fight card at the Hard Rock Hotel-Casino in Las Vegas because "...I want to get my hands back on Cristian Mijares."

But Mijares, the WBC super flyweight champion who beat Arce in April, has picked Tomas Rojas to beat Arce.

"Rojas is too big, too strong and he's left-handed. I like him big in this fight," said Mijares, the WBC super flyweight champion.

Arce, the WBC #1 rated super flyweight contender, promised he would defeat Rojas and "get my hands back on Mijares one more time."

Arce said he will have his red cherry lollipop and black cowboy hat on when he enters the ring on Sunday  night.

The Top Rank 'Viva Mexico!' fight card is loaded:

Jorge Arce vs. Tomas Rojas
Edgar Sosa vs. Lorenzo Trejo
Jackie Nava vs. Donna Biggers
Jorge Paez Jr vs. Alain Hernandez
Argenis Mendez vs Guadalupe Guzman

Arce and Rojas are scheduled for 12 rounds. Sosa, 28-5, will defend his WBC Mini Flyweight world title against Trejo. Nava, who is known as the 'Aztec Princess,' is a wildly popular woman's fighter from Mexico. Paez Jr is the son of the former champ. Argenis Mendez is a very hot Top Rank prospect from the Dominican Republic.

First bell Sunday, 5:15 pm.
