Jorge Arce vs Cristian Mijares Rematch Explored?

By Jhonny Gonzalez

There are reports in Mexico that Cristian Mijares (41-6, 18KOs) has expressed his interest in having a rematch with Jorge Arce (56-6, 43KOs). Mijares dominated Arce for a twelve round decision in 2007. Mijares recently gave his career a big boost by capturing the IBF super flyweight title from Alberto Rosas in December. 

The weight would be a concern. Mijares is at super flyweight and Arce now campaigns at super bantamweight. There is word that Mijares is willing to face Arce halfway, at bantamweight. Arce is still trying to secure a shot at undefeated WBO super bantamweight champion Wilfredo Vazquez Jr.
