    Cintron and Williams are both going down to 147. They should fight each other, but if they don't, one of them against Jones would be a damn good fight. Alfonso Gomez is also ranked and would jump at an HBO appearance.
    i think they all beat him.Karass is slow as fck and has no power,And was
    tagging him.Even karass weak jab was connecting.

      Mike Jones looked sharp compared to the last Mike jones. Compared to other welter weights he looked like a pathetic version of Peterson. He doesnt have it.
      I'm not arguing with that. Jones hurt Soto Karass early in their first fight, and then totally gassed out trying to finish him. He looked completely sluggish for the rest of that fight.

      I know Soto Karass is a punching bag, but Jones still looked sharp tonight. I don't see how a fight with Berto or another title holder is out of the question. Not saying Jones would beat them, but he is surely in contention.

      I'm not doubting Donaire, I'm doubting the possibility of him fighting Lopez so soon. At least in the next year or two.

      Lopez and Gamboa being less polished is more of a reason for me to not wanna see Donaire fight one of them so quickly. Donaire is still two divisions lower and there is plenty of time to build a fight between him and any top Featherweight.

      If Donaire didn't have competition at 118, I wouldn't mind. But both Juanma and Donaire have unfinished business in their weight classes before that fight will be a possibility.

      Like I said earlier, I really doubt Lopez will get passed Gamboa anyways. So Donaire-Gamboa may very well be the big money fight late next year. We'll see.

        You know how us fans are. Right now is always better. I just dont want these promoters to feel like its ok to keep dragging us along. I have just about lost interest in Gamboa/Lopez so my thoughts are selfish. Its kinda ironic because I'd wait for Mayweather Pac til their gray haired.

          Yeah, that's jumping the gun way too soon.

          I actually favor Gamboa to beat Juanma and Donaire has his hands full at the moment. 118 has a lot of potential great fights ahead.
          How do you see gamboa-juanma
          Going?

          Yeah too early,Maybe gamboa-donaire
          Next year!
