Glad for Montiel, mad props to man for going into Hasegawa's backyard.



And on a seperate note: DAMN! Sulaimán even looks evil!

I am happy I watched the fight at 3:00 AM and that he won. He is a great fighter. I think he might be the first Mexican to get 4 titles in 4 different weight classes; he should move up to 122 and fight Nishioka to get that 4th title.

Now you know how we feel in the UK watching the big fights!!!
Oh and Monroe has a shot at that belt next

i have 3 fav mexican fighter marquez areola n montiel i knew he would win n japan ppl had him as the undergog wat were they smokin

Good my friend. I don't know why do you have Arreola as one of your favorites but that's OK.

From PR I like Cotto, that mutha.****a has some balls and never says no to anybody.

Mostly everyone knows that marquez is at the end of his amazing career

Montiel's almost there as well. I think people are making this win a little bigger than it really is. I'm sure that Japanese guy was good, but Montiel has always been a real puncher. Montiel's been in the game for a while now, it's just a shame that all these challenges are arriving toward the end of his career. The same thing could be said for Morales, Barrera, and Marquez. All those guys really had no choice but to fight themselves for the better parts of their careers.

I think Arce's supposed to be fighting for an interim belt soon( if you count interim belts as legit , than he might be the first to get 4 titles in 4 different weight classes)
