    LOL WTF? Is this true?

    Jorge Arce will fight Martin Castillo on Saturday? How absurd, it would've been the premier Mexican fight of the year about 5 years ago, and a few losses later, it's some kind of lower caliber fight flying under the radar.

    Boxing surely is a strange sport.

    it will be an entertaining fight. Arce, though he's over the hill, is still fun to watch!

    when mexicans fight each other, expect blood, blood and more blood.....both over the hill, but both feel like they still got it.....PRIDE VS PRIDE can turn to a beautiful thing in boxing, no matter how old they are.....

    War Gallito! I've been a long time fan of Castillo's smooth style. Would have loved to have seen this when both were at their peak. Better late than never I suppose.

    I noted the same thing on BLH. It's a great fight that's happening 5 or 6 years too late. That said, this is probably the first time I would pick Arce to win. I think Castillo might be more toast than Arce at this point.

    Either way, the way these two guys bleed, they'll need a mop.
