2011
Arum told me on Tuesday outside the Wild Card Boxing Club, where Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. held on open workout, a few of Top Rank’s plans for 2011.
- He says that the February 19th fight between Nonito Donaire and Fernando Montiel is a done deal and will take place at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas on HBO.
Arum told me that a rematch between welterweights Mike Jones and Jesus Soto-Karass is a distinct possibility. Both camps have agreed to this and pending the final approval of HBO, it will land on the Nonito Donaire-Fernando Montiel undercard on Feb. 19th

i dont believe a single word coming from Arums mouth
He had a rough time after he gassed, at points I thought he was in danger of getting stopped. This is a fighter who gave him the toughest fight so far in his career, he will most likely want to win convincingly and probably doubts he can stop Karass.
I like Donaire too, this will be his 1st meaningful fight since his Darch win. Its about time though that he stopped fighting tuneups his whole career.
I doubt a truck could stop Karass after watching that fight.
I like the look of Jones. I think he would have won the fight comfortably if he didn't waste himself in that second round. Just inexperience. I think he has the skills to outbox Karass, but I can't see him getting stopped.
Thought Karass should have won but knew he wouldn't get the nod, Jones will box cautiously and win a boring decision in a rematch.
Nah, not Jones' style, he will batter Karass to a stoppage.
The first 2 rounds were easy for him, but his inexperience and the stage allowed him to spaz. The fact that he stayed on his feet and was able to survive against Karass while gassed tells me that 1, he's in great condition, 2, he has heart and toughness that will get him far.
Montiel-Donaire? I'm leaning toward the Nonito, but I have to see how he fights a good bantamweight boxer that isn't just a blown up flyweight.
oh hell yea...you better not be playin wit mah emotions smokey
You never know with Smokey, but Smokey know the deal, he already got word from Big Worm. Smokey know not to play with Big Worm's money.
