The #8 p4p fighter in the world Cristian Mijares (35-3-2 [14]) takes on former WBC flyweight champion Chatchai Sasakul (64-3 [39]) in Mexico on August 30th. Sasakul, 38, had beaten 23-0 Yuri Arbachalov to capture the flyweight world title in 1997 only to lose it in his thrid defense against future #1 pound for pound Manny Pacquiao. Mijares is rumored to fight WBO super flyweight champion Fernando Montiel later this year with popular mexican Jorge Arce versus IBF flyweight champion Nonito Donaire on the undercard.

Should be a good tune up fight. Sasakul is pretty damn old so Mijares should make good work of him.

yea i heard about that before the ultra mega card with him donaire and montiel

It's amazing knowing that Manny Pacquiao knocked Chatchai Sasakul out 10 years ago at 112.

i thought everyone knew this already it was announced like 2 weeks ago
anyway should be easy work for mijares, but hes wasting time in here his body is not gonna allow him to make the superflyweight limit much longer he needs to chase a big fight now

We don't live in mexico and I don't think got reported anywhere. I made the little statement up.

[Silencers]

Should be a decent fight but I don't think Mijares will have too much trouble with Sasakul.

Unified junior bantamweight titleholder Cristian Mijares (35-3-2, 14 KOs), who unified two belts by outpointing Alexander Munoz May 17, returns Aug. 30 in Monterrey, Mexico, to face Chatchai Sasakul (64-3, 39 KOs), an ex-flyweight titlist who lost his belt to Manny Pacquiao via knockout in 1998. Should Mijares win, co-promoter DiBella told ESPN.com that he's talking with Showtime about matching Mijares in a unification match with the winner of the Aug. 2 Showtime fight between titleholder Dimitri Kirilov and Vic Darchinyan. DiBella said he's also talked to Kirilov promoter Cedric Kushner and Darchinyan promoter Shaw about the fight and everyone is interested in the scenario. If the fight is made, it could happen Nov. 1 on Showtime, DiBella said. He's also been talking with promoter Bob Arum about matching Mijares with Fernando Montiel in a unification bout, but he and Arum agree that it's too big of a fight not to be a main event on a major show and there are no dates left this year on Showtime or HBO. "Mijares wants to unify the division, so we can do the Kirilov-Darchinyan winner and then go for Montiel in the next fight when there are more dates available," DiBella said.


From DR. Guess it was reported.

Mijares is very active fighter.

[ferocity]

Props to Mijares he wants to take on the best. He deserves this lesser challenge. Him and Montiel or winner of Kirilov/Darchinyin is goint to be good fights.
