http://www.philstar.com/Article.aspx?ArticleId=423566&publicationSubCategoryId=69 Nonito Donaire has already started training for a possible showdown with Fernando Montiel at 115. Apparently Donaire is having a hard time making 112 now, and is going to make the jump. Arum hasn't gotten the contracts signed but it's the fight that he is pursuing with the winner to face the Darchinyan - Arce winner. So we have: Arce - Darchinyan Donaire - Montiel How do you guys think it will play out? I'm going to say that Darchinyan beats Arce, and Donaire (surprisingly to most) beats Montiel setting up Donaire-Darchinyan II which Donaire will win by late stoppage.
Well they are both very inconsistent, so I´d say it is 50/50. Neither looked particularly good in their last fight.
Darchinyan beats arce, montiel beats donaire, montiel vs darchinyan close to call - I say darchinyan by decision
He has, but there has to be a certain build up to that fight. I think Bob Arum is going about this the right way with a pseudo-elimination tournament with the two winners meeting for a big payday.
