Top Rank February-March HBO and Showtime cards

- He (Arum) says that the February 19th fight between Nonito Donaire and Fernando Montiel is a done deal and will take place at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas on HBO.

- The next week, at the Palms in Las Vegas, the winner of the December 4th fight between WBC lightweight titlist Humberto Soto and Urbano Antillon will take on Brandon “Bam Bam” Rios on Showtime.

- Arum also mentioned that the return of WBO featherweight king Juan Manuel Lopez will take place in either March or April on Showtime. Some of the names I’m hearing that are being considered for Lopez are Elio Rojas and Jorge Solis.

-Arum told me that a rematch between welterweights Mike Jones and Jesus Soto-Karass is a distinct possibility. Both camps have agreed to this and pending the final approval of HBO, it will land on the Nonito Donaire-Fernando Montiel undercard on Feb. 19th

Good to see Nonaire and Montiel in the books for next year, both have to win in December though

2/26/11 Showtime Rios vs Antillon/Soto - WAR! Very nice

JML vs Solis or Rojas - kinda blah...decent opponents, dont get me wrong..but better choices available at 126

good stuff. at least we know that there will be some good fights at the beginning of 2011.

Nice, all good fights.

Soto vs Rios would be entertaining.
