November 9 looks like it will be a Texas two-step with Mikey Garcia and Nonito Donaire. Garcia and Donaire, both trained by Mikey's brother Robert Garcia, will likely be fighting in separate bouts on an HBO doubleheader -- with Garcia in the main event -- that Top Rank promoter Bob Arum told ESPN.com probably will take place in Texas, perhaps San Antonio or Dallas. Garcia (32-0, 27 KOs), stripped of his featherweight title for failing to make weight the day before drilling Juan Manuel Lopez in the fourth round in Dallas on June 15, is moving up to junior lightweight and being lined up to face titleholder Rocky Martinez (27-1-2, 16 KOs), for whom he is the mandatory challenger.
