Cristian Mijares Training For The Fight of His Life
By Mark Vester
Former super flyweight champion Cristian Mijares was once on top of the world, holding two titles at his weight and regarded as one of the best pound for pound fighters in the sport. After being crushed by Vic Darchinyan and losing a close decision to Nehomar Cermeno in March, Mijares was considered a finished product by many.
He returns on September 12 in Monterrey, Mexico with his career on the line. A rematch with Cermeno for the interim-WBA bantamweight title. He does plan to take a tuneup on August 1 at the Poliforum Benito Juarez in Cancun. The opponent for that fight has not been set. Mijares has already clocked in four weeks of intensive training and plans to step it up even further when the August fight gets closer. After that bout is done, he plans to return to camp for more intense training as he prepares for Cermeno.
Mijares allowed Cermemo to steal some of the rounds in their first meeting by outworking him. He plans to keep a lot of pressure on Cermeno in each and every round to leave no doubts to the scoring judges.
