I love Arce, easily one of my top 5 fighters of all time, but he will take a serious, serious beating fom Donaire. Donaire too big, too fast, too skilled, too powerful! Arce's chin and heart may well take him places from which he will never recover.
Vic v Arce 2 would be great even though their style match-up does not necessarily mesh. Two warriors at the end of their fine careers with losing to lose but their consciousness. Make it happen! |

There won't ever be a rematch.
The only reason the first fight occurred is because Showtime kicked in big money to make it happen. Remember they even prepared a special promo for it. I'm pretty sure the Arce fight was Vic's biggest ever payday by a significant margin. The money Showtime kicked in was a reward for Vic taking short money against Mijares in his previous fight. I attended their first fight btw. The atmosphere in the crowd was significantly different to anything I've ever experienced in this country. Very menacing & brooding. For Vic to walk into that atmosphere & take care of business the way that he did really reinforced to me what a great champion he was. |

Bob Arum's business model is to only let his top fighters face Top Rank fighters (unless there's big money involved).
While Vic doesn't have a promotional contract with anyone, I think he's best off sticking with Gary Shaw until it's time to hang them up. |
