Since the Rigo fight is off ill go with Showtime. Although HBO will reair Manny/Marquez 4, which unfortunately I still havent seen.

Right now, I'm leaning towards the Donaire/Arce card. One thing's for sure...Arce wont be afraid to fight. That's what we've been seeing with Donaire's opponents as of late (aside from Vasquez Jr.). Even if Arce gets knocked out cold, I'm sure he wont rob us a decent scrap.

I cant blame him for not continuing in the Rojas fight this past June. A hit to the ear is no joke! I've been hit in the ear by a basketball, and let's put it this way...I had a whoooole new respect for the Wilson brand basketball. I was off my feet for at least 5 mins...

i can't say that one card is more appealing than the other at this point. i was really looking forward to seeing rigondeaux fight again. donaire/arce should be a highlight for donaire...but i'm wishing arce makes a fight of it. as for the khan/molina card...i'm looking forward to seeing santa cruz whoop up on a no hoper. it would be nice if molina could make things difficult for khan...but i get the feeling they picked him for a reason.

No love for Khan? I'm interested in seeing if he's learned anything under Virgil. I think Virgil Hunter is one of the best trainers in the sport. Love the mental and strategic edge he gives to his fighters. So, I guess more than wanting to see Khan, it's really Hunter I'm intrigued with.

I'm also very disappointed by the Rigo fight getting canceled.

As for Donaire/Arce...I don't know C...Arce looked like he was overacting just a tad (why wouldn't he stand up first?) So I was kinda left feeling unsure about what he has left. I'd like to Donaire in a real scrap. So, I'll echo Prof and hope Arce makes a fight out of it!

I'll probably switch back and forth.

i am a bigger fan of hunter than khan. i'm sure there'll be improvements....but khan has fallen far on my list of fighters i enjoy watching. i've noticed his flaws for quite some time and i predicted he'd be ko'd by danny garcia...and i think i may have picked peterson against him as well. he just needs to settle down....learn his craft...be quiet...and let his boxing do the talking for him. i'm sure he's learning a lot from virgil in and out of the ring.

I believe it will take a few fights for us to see any real change in Khan's game. I haven't seen much of Molina at all (maybe by accident on FNF or ShoBox), but I also have a feeling that he was picked as a sacrificial lamb.

With that in mind, we'll never know how much Khan has improved, if he's fighting somewhat of a no-hoper. They should've sought a Peterson rematch. He wont have to worry about getting knocked out, and we'll see some type of improvement against a formidable opponent.

I just hope Arce goes out on his shield...Nonito's last few opponents have been hesitant to throw anything. Vasquez showed us that a stiff jab can keep Donaire at bay and embarrass him a bit. Hopefully Arce isn't too Mexican to the point where he refuses to fight a disciplined fight.

they don't get anymore mexican than arce. he'll be throwing his usual wide ass hay makers that will play right into donaire's hands. look for an impressive ko from no-knee-toe.
