Cristian Mijares Says: "I Can't Afford To Lose Again"

On September 12 at Arena Monterrey in Monterrey, Mexico, former super flyweight champion Cristian Mijares will attempt to keep his career alive when he meets undefeated Nehomar Cermeno in a rematch for the interim-WBA bantamweight title. Mijares was once considered the best but after suffering back to back defeats, his career is on the ropes. He was knocked out by Vic Darchinyan last November and then lost a split-decision to Cermeno in March.

Mijares knows that defeat is not an option here. He promises to get revenge by beating Cermeno.

"I don't have the luxury of being able to lose on Saturday. I am sure that I will the fight, and the world championship, which will be my second crown. I am coming to the fight ready. I've really prepared myself to win. A loss for me would be really disastrous, but that is not going to happen," Mijares told ESTO.
