Comments Thread For: Montiel vs Mijares Rumblings Continue For September

[Team Vitaminas]

I thought Sanfer promos sent a contract to DRIAN FRANCISCO'S for a Mijares fight.what a pusy if the bum don't take it.Montiel should just go straight for Donaire ,he don't need a tune up ,if anything Donaire is the one that needs one.he's been fighting bums and small dudes.

I don't think power is an issue. Your superior strength doesnt matter if the guy is hitting you twice or three times as much as you are hitting him. As alot of Mijares opponents have found out, Jorge Arce in particular.

But Mijares isn't what he used to be. His boxing isn't sharp enough anymore to keep Montiel off of him.

I don't think Televisa (Mijares) and TV Azteca (Montiel) are going to allow this fight, bad business for both mexican tv networks

didn't mijares lost like 3 of his last 4 fights or something??

if he fights mijares and donaire in december,that will be 5 fights in one year,i think its a lot, 5 fights in 11 months

I think it's great. Boxing would be better off if all the top guys fought a schedule like this. It certainly was when they did.

While Mijares isn't shot, he isn't the fighter he once was. I don't really know why, but he's changed his style quite a bit starting with the Darchinyan fight, he's become a way more aggressive fighter and it's really taken him away from what made him one of the best fighters in the world. If Mijares fights with his counterpunching style he might be able to give Montiel a lot of trouble and might be able to get the upset but if he fights aggressive again, I think Montiel would knock him out.

Honestly he might be shot now. He just seems to keep slipping. Mijares of 07 would have absolutely crushed Arce's brother just like he did Arce. His style has definitely changed though. That is for sure.

Still I hope he beats Montiel. That'd be great.

What is Montiel thinking? I understand a tuneup fight, but he just fought in April and July. I know Mijares is shot, but he's still poses a risk.

The Donaire fight is what the public wants and knowing Donaire's luck, Mijares upsets Montiel, which causes Montiel to up in weight again and Mijares retires, leaving Donaire without a big fight and he ends up fighting more bums half his size on Pinoy Power.

Fighting four times a year used to be considered inactivity. Fighting at least that much means better, sharper fighters and better fights. It's hardly too active.

I don't think it's very much of a risk, I think he'd crush Mijares. Go ahead and do it.

if the fight with donaire is happening i don't think he should fight in sept..that will be his fourth fight this year and i think that does take a toll on the body,all the training,he should just wait,let his body rest and take his time until december,that will still be his 4th fight of the year,even though the fights didn't last the 12 and he wasn't hurt,i still think the training and the fight itself does affect the body with those many fights,donaire is a strong guy and it will be a tough one,so he better just wait
