Last night I watched a brilliant display of boxing skills by Cristian Mijares as he unified the WBC and WBA titles at super flyweight.
His opponent Munoz was a excellent fighter: the WBA champion, a powerful puncher and highly technically skilled. Yet Mijares schooled him - Munoz hardly landed a punch during the whole fight. There wasn't a mark on Mijares face when it ended. One very incompetent judge scored it for Munoz, but it was obvious to all unbiased observers that Mijares won a very wide decision. I thought 117-110 or 118-109 was the correct score.
In my opinion, Mijares should be ranked ahead of a lot of people in the p4p lists - maybe even enter the top ten. He's defeated Arce, Navarro, and now Munoz. His speed, technique and reflexes are second to no one in boxing.
