christian mijares

[theunderdog]

the man just had the most brillant performance in his carreer. he defeated jorge arce in a fight that saw arce bruised, bloodied and beaten. for his next fight mijares is taking on teppei kikui (21-5-0 with FOUR KOs). WBC ranked 12. i think this is a travesty. mijares just showed the world how great his boxing is and now he has to take on a japenese dude who lost his last fight via a ud for the japanese belt

how can a guy who just lost get a crack at the world title? i cringed a bit when i first heard that eric morales was getting a title shot but this is horrible. i think mijares should move up in weigh. othernthan a fight against montiel, there's basically no one else to fight in that division that would improve his resume.

your thoughts?

[myk]

He needs a good promoter

[Illmatic]

well, big fights are hard to make under 118 lbs...if you want to stay active you have to take some fights like this

Hey relax and look at the bigger picture Bruh.
Here's his last four fights :

Kawashima 30-4-0/won
Reynaldo Lopez 28-3-2/won
Rematch with Kawashima/won
Arce 46-3-1/won

After 4 hard fights the guy deserves a little slack. To think that Kikui is 21-5-0 and rated 12, that's not exactly an easy fight.

Now why would he go up in weight? He can fight Nobuo Nashiro (WBA Champ) or Fernando Montiel (WBO Champ) for a unification fight.

[theunderdog]

i respect your opinion man, but what did kikui do to seserve a title shot? he lost to another japanese for their title. doesn't the one who beat him deserve th fight mijares more than him? i said that apart from montiel, there's nobody worth fighting and i stand by that. he could go dwon a weight class where vic and wonjongkam are or go up to meet johnny gonzales or if he's really out to get worldwide recognition. go up two weight classes where rafael marquez and de leon are. i'm just saying that he deserves respect and he would not get it in fighting japanese bums.

and by the way, i dont agree that he had four straight fights. he had a cake walk against arce. he had big leads against lopez and the 2nd fight against kawashima. i like mijares. i really hope he gets past kikui and moves on to bigger things.

I know what you're saying. :D Just look at it the other way.

Mijarez just need an easy fight after the four hard fights he had gone through. Kikui may not deserve it but he is lucky he was chosen by Mijarez camp. Got what I mean? :hey

Mijarez needs to unify that's the best he can do. :good

[theunderdog]

so you don't think he should move up in weight at all? or are you just saying that now is not the right time?

[left hook 75]

Apparently Darchinyan is lookin to move up so that would be a good fight.

[Richel Hersisia]

do you think he choose this japanese kid to fight??

I think he is dying for a big fight against the likes of darcharyan, but i don't think he is going to get a big fight soon.

IF Darcharyan wants to step it up, he rather fights Arce. Cause there is more money and its an easier fight

Yeah it's not the right time yet. :yep

[Brickhaus]

Nashiro's not the champ anymore, he lost to Alexander Munoz.

Mijares is partially just building up his resume more right now and staying busy, and this fight is for his hometown fans anyway. As was already mentioned, he's fought 4 really tough fights in a row. He can take a bit of a breather, and it's not like the guy he's fighting is some can either. I'm sure he'd love a Darchinyan matchup, but the dollars don't make sense for that one yet.

[knockout]

I've seen him fight once he can box:bbb

[BxN]

There's no need to panic, it's just a stay busy fight.

[theunderdog]

okay, i ressurected this thread for one reason only. people told me that the kikui fight will just be a stay busy fight etc and i gave them the benefit of the doubt.

now look what happend. he beat kikui to a bloody pulp and now will be is facing.....





drumroll please......









franck gorjux 16-7-0 7 kos.




i know. you haven't heard of him yet. neither have i

[Carlos Primera]

i want him to go up in weight so he and castillo can have a fight. two of the best technicians around that weight class, that would be a great tactical contest.

When you're a very dangerous fighter with no money making appeal, it's very hard to secure a fight against the other top class opponents, especially at the lower weights.

It's likely Mijares is waiting on a bigger fight, but is staying busy.

Relax, this kid is only 25 and he's already top P4P material in skill and ability, something good will happen.

Do you doubt Cristian Mijares?

i've been following super fly/bantam for a year, and imo is as deep a division at the moment as 160/168, 130 and 147. it's filled with solid names, and all the potential matchups make it very interesting. i agree mijares is a very promising fighter, but how do you think he does against these guys in or around super fly?

Munoz
luis perez
castillo (i'm very high on this guy. imo technically as skilled as mijares. this is a great tactical fight i'd love to see)
darchinyan (considering moving up to super fly)
montiel
sidorenko
parra

I agree, but Mijares will beat them all if he is given the chance, the only weakness he has shown is a slightly leaky defence and not too much power. His strengths are just too wide and he can only improve -

Handspeed
Chin
Stamina
Accuracy
Footwork
Workrate
World class jab
Combinations
Heart

Montiel is up there technically, but he'd eat too many shots in my opinion.

[Carlos Primera]

i think mijares beats him easily. montiel was having a hard time against gorres(pretty solid name in super fly as well), who is'nt as good as mijares. i can only see the heavier guys like sidorenko or castillo giving him a hard time. mijares chin should'nt let him fail against the likes of hard hitting but limited munoz and darchinyan as well.

[IntentionalButt]

cristian would punish darchinyan worse than he did jorge lacy. :nod

i absolutely do not doubt mijares, amsterdam.

i'm just frustrated with his peoples' ability to land him a big fight. he had an opportunity after beating arce, casual fans recognize arce and therefore would recognize the one who beat him. i think there was a considerable amount of momentum lost with fighting unheralded fighters. at least fight someone that the boxing fans would recognize

try and shoot for a unification or something. i really like the kid. i just don't like the way he's being handled. he has loads of potential and could seriously own the lower weight classes but his past two fights have not done anything to build him a legacy IMO
