Cristian Mijares or Jeffrey “Mongoose” Mathebula.

[AdamantiumPI]

Arum told the Manila Standard that Donaire will defend his 122 pound title against either Cristian Mijares, the classy former world champion or possibly South Africa’s IBF champion Jeffrey “Mongoose” Mathebula.

Most likely Mijares. Dont know much about Mathebula. Anyone know about this guy? Who would provide Donaire with the bigger challence. I really hope Donaire doesn't skip Mares, Moreno, Rigondeaux and Nishioka at 122.
