On a small pay per view. Dan Rafael: After junior bantamweight titleholders Cristian Mijares and Fernando Montiel retained their titles with strong performances on last Saturday's Pavlik-Taylor II undercard -- Mijares outpointed Jose Navarro and Montiel knocked out ex-titlist Martin Castillo -- the drumbeat began for them to unify. But while Mijares could unify belts in his next fight, it doesn't look as though it will be with Montiel. Instead, he could meet fellow titleholder Dimitri Kirilov of Russia in May on a small pay-per-view card, both camps told ESPN.com. However, the Mijares camp wants the bout to take place in Mexico, while Kirilov's handlers want it on neutral turf. If the bout happens, it is contingent on Kirilov defeating Cecilio Santos Feb. 28 in New York. Montiel could land on Top Rank's April 26 Chavez Jr. PPV card.
