      Same plan That they have for Vanes, fight easy fights for quarterfinal or semifinal eliminator and then accuse the organisation of not giving them a shot at the champs...

        That's weird...He's fighting for the IBF title on the undercard of Pac-Bradley. Hmmmm

          So you saw 2 fights and you judging him?

          I understand that you thought the first SK fight he lost but do you think that fight was boring?

            What about the first, you thought that was boring? It was definitly close and he probably deserved the L but it was a experience for him. He threw something like 50 unanswered punches in under 30 seconds.

            The second fight wasnt as good because he didnt want to make the same mistake as the last fight of trying to put Soto-Karass away and tiring himself out.

            Check him out on the Pac-Bradley undercard it will probably be a good fight to gauge where hes at and what kind of fighter you think he is.

                BTW, I think Top Rank has done great by Mike Jones. Putting him on the undercards of Pac PPV's puts him in front of an audience that J Peltz couldn't reach. Hence why Peltz finally decided to have another promoter have a piece of Jones. But, lets not forget that Peltz is MJ main promoter still.

                  How explain? And, for FWIW Top Rank isn't his main promoter they just have a piece of him. Peltz is MJ main promoter. But, how is Top Rank fucking up his career?

                    Im thinking maybe he fights Tim Bradley if Tim loses to Manny. I really doubt he gets a Manny fight, although it wouldnt shock me as Bob Arum is a bit of an idiot. But there arent many options out there.
                    Well since he in on the undercard and going for a belt, it opens up options...
