Also glad to see you here mate, you were a great poster at ESB.

Thanks bro, glad to be here. I was back on there as fading2bolivian.

Mijares on points.

118-110
119-109
108-120

He should win this one without too many problems.

Yes, that Doug Tucker ought to have been stripped immediatley. There was no way that you could have scored even a close Navarro win, much less every round when he evidently was drilled badly in certain rounds. This is where athletic comissions should take action and people should realise there is only so much 'subjectivity' when scoring. Scoring is something like 70% objectivity and 30% subjectivity.

After the fight, Tucker said 'Navarro outworked him'.

What the hell is Darchinyan's team thinking?

As much as I would love to see Mijares-Montiel/Donaire, seeing him embarrass and destroy Vic would be great too.

oh shit thanks for that clear up

I think only by beating Montiel will Mijares be undisputed...the belts mean nothing, especially the IBF.

See thats where I disagree. I think the three belt system can work, I don't recognise any other belts. To me Montiel is a top challenger, a challenger Mijares will need to face to clear out his division. If, however, he beats Darchinyan first he'll already be undisputed, just facing his clear number one challenger in Montiel.

Man, the IBF is sooo much worse than the WBO. From their bribery scandal, to giving NDou a belt without even winning a fight for it, to their South African roundabout at 130 lbs, stripping Taylor of his belt at 160, giving Zab Judah a belt after LOSING a fight, come on man, the IBF is a complete and utter joke of an organization.

Montiel was the man in the division after knocking out Castillo and before Mijares unification bout. They are the two clear top fighters in the division and must fight to make a champion. And the winner will be Ring champ.

What about the WBO's list of joke champions & clear influence from Sports Network? Sorry man but at least the IBF follow their championship policy to a tee these days which, whether we agree we their decisions or not, shows consitency. The WBO are a joke bauble with a long line of joke "champions". I recognise the three proper belts only.
