    The Boxing Union: Fights We Must See Before the End of 2006 Part I

    With so many changes in the “top-tier” of the sport, there are some very intriguing, and potentially explosive match-ups that the “Boxing Gods” must grant us in order for our beloved sport to not only satisfy its current junkies, but turn many of the current “casual fans” into hardcore fanatics. Here is my list of fights that must happen before the end of our current fistic year.

    Hugo Cazares (WBO Light Flyweight Champion) vs. Brian Viloria (WBC Light Flyweight Champion)

    After his recent workman like win over “El Jaguar,” Jose Antonio Aguirre, WBC champion Brian Viloria has been talking about moving up to 112-pounds to face the current WBC Interim Flyweight champion Jorge “Travieso” Arce. Now, as much as I would love to see that, as both of these pugs are aggressive high contact punchers, the fact is that Viloria still has some business left at 108-pounds. Although Brian is the recognizable fighter at the weight, Mexican Hugo Cazares is a true threat to the “Hawaiian Punch’s” reign, as he is a pressurizing, heavy handed fighter with a sturdy chin. Add to that the fact that Cazares is an underrated boxer who possesses the style to not only be competitive against Viloria, but win and we have us a great tilt at 108-pounds. The biggest “roadblock” to this contest is that Viloria is a Top Rank fighter while Cazares is a Golden Boy Promotion’s battler. If by some miracle this fight is to be made, boxing fans around the globe would be in for a treat as both of these “small” boxers fight with a ton of ferocity.

    Jorge “Travieso” Arce (WBC Interim Flyweight Champion) vs. Martin “El Gallito” Castillo (WBA Jr. Bantamweight Champion)

    With Jorge Arce’s now found fame and immense popularity, he has really become a draw at the lower weights and everyone from 108-to-118-pounds, seems to have this tough and rugged little man on their minds. Arce possesses fast, heavy hands, a solid chin, and a come forward, mauling all-out body attack that guarantees “fan-friendly” fights every time. Combine that with Martin Castillo’s beautiful boxing style and you have a classic in the making. Also, in his last fight against former champion Alexander Munoz, “El Gallito” showed that he is truly a “Mexican monster” as he stood toe-to-toe with the bigger Munoz and traded some heavy leather, with his eyes bleeding from head butts. It was the kind of performance that raises any fighters stock and made a potential fight between these two Mexican badasses a must see before the year ends. [details]

    You know, the funny thing about Scott Harrison is that he can actually move and counter-move quite effectively, but doesn't have the discipline to do it. He can't be bothered.

    As an amateur he got to European finals and was forced to use boxing or get schooled.

    But as a pro, for most of the time, he's preferred to just maraud forward - all rough and tumble. I think he's naturally a pub brawler. Sure he's never showed decent lateral movment, and has never showed that he can use angles, But there is some good boxing ability inside of him.
