That's right people, the big one.

People have been pretending long enough that Diamanté isn't THE man, but how long will this be able to continue after his inevitable victory here leads to him taking on - and defeating - Rigondeaux? Surely he shan't be ducking in the way that Donaire did. SHAN'T.

But yeah, this is a good fight. Since the tail-end of 2009 Mijares has enjoyed a pretty big winning streak and looked very impressive in the process, but Topo Rosas and an ancient Rafa Marquez aside the opposition hasn't been much to write home about. Regardless he's still been more than a level about most of these opponents in terms of skills and handsomeness, so shouldn't find too much difficulty in fighting at the top level again with regularity.

Most people know of Terrazas due to him impressing in the early going against Rendall Munroe in 2010 before gradually being worn down and stopped in the 9th. He bounced back from that with a brilliant 2011, beating Nehomar Cermeno and Fernando Montiel to push himself back into contention at world level, only to then have a thoroughly underwhelming year after that, facing nobody of real note in his 3 bouts and failing to build on his momentum.

2013 will likely be his worst after Mijares the Gawd sees to him.

'Tis is somewhat stacked card, albeit with mostly one-sided fights. With highly touted Mexican 160 pounder Gilberto Ramirez Sanchez facing the good when not getting knocked out(which happens kind of often) Dionisio Miranda, Juanma Lopez continuing his rebuilding process, McJoe Arroyo's once again potentially great match-up against Rodrigo Guerrero was once again called off so Jairo Hernandez steps in, as well as friend of @Wallet Jonathan Gonzalez featuring.

I've rambled on about utterly nothing, here's some pictures:

It's a good fight, one of many tomorrow. I don't really rate Terrazas that much but he's a fun enough fighter to watch. Mijares ought to win and a fight with Rigo will probably be made.

Apologies for the interruption, Pabbington.

I think Diamante takes this tbg, don't think all that highly of Terrazas either. It's easy to discredit his best wins, with Cermeno having gone on an awful run of form since then and although I haven't seen the fight, it appears that the decision could have gone either way in Terrazas's back yard. Montiel has just declined massively since Donaire rearranged his face, and he's small framed for 122 even if he does rehydrate ridiculously. Mijares has bounced back well since Darchinyan and his own awful showings against Cermeno, so I'd expect him to win probably by clear decision with Terrazas taking a few rounds on activity but never really getting into the fight.

We're cool, it only led to something better, I guess.:lol:

I'll go against the grain here. Terrazas will wear down Mijares and stop him late.
I wouldn't be surprised. I was mainly exaggerating in the OP, I think this is close enough to a 50-50. Although I'm not anywhere near as worried about it as I was when it was first touted after Terrazas beat Montiel. As the others have said his better wins aren't as impressive in hindsight, and he looked pretty bad against some weak opposition last year. Makes me a bit more optimistic, or less apprehensive. More than feasible that he could win, but through sheer bias I'm still rolling with Mijares.:yep

I guess I'll just use this thread to update, for those who are interested. Ramirez Sanchez ending up fighting late replacement Juan De Angel instead of Miranda, whom he has dispatched in three one-sided rounds. Counter-punching and body shots galore, apparently. Hopefully he begins to step up his opposition a bit now, he's only 21 so there's no real need to do it considerably, but bearing in mind this was his 25th fight and he has been significantly better than most of his opponents so far, he could do with gradually taking it up a notch or two.

I assumed 'hot garbage' was a good thing. Anyways, Nate Clev was awesome.
It's not. He wasn't.

Well he might've been. I watched Fury-USS and then Rose-Alcine instead so I wouldn't know. Just dant kill mah vibe, bish.

@Wallet's buddy Jonathan Gonzalez apparently put in an underwhelming display against Francisco Perez, taking a unanimous decision with scores of 78-74x2 and 77-75.

McJoe Arroyo also takes a unanimous victory over 8 rounds, beating Jairo Hernandez with scores of 78-73, 76-75, and 77-74. Let's hope that Rodrigo Guerrero gets rescheduled again, you'd worry that they won't bother now after this happening twice.

:lol: In ANOTHER fight involving a late replacement, Juanma Lopez iced 31-25-1 Eugenio Lopez in the 2nd round.

Did Juanma look any good? Hard to tell with an opponent like that but still.
:conf Couldn't tell you man, I've been trying to get a you know what for ages but I keep on getting Mexican soaps.:blood Don't even think I'll catch Mijares live, just going off stuff I'm reading here.

I'd like to announce my retirement from caring about boxing. By all accounts it could easily be a point or two either way, but yeah.

It's been fun, catch me around posting completely pointless ish, dudes.

If it makes you feel better I thought he deserved the nod. I had him 1 up going into the last and he won that round 10-8.
REMATCH!!
