    I didn't see that result coming, did anyone think it would go down like that?

    I mean I knew Martin had a "semi" retirement but I didn't think he was that shot.

    Is he shot? I mean, Arce can hit.

    Edit: I am surprised though, still.

    i was surprised of the result, many people i thought (and me as well) have written off arce. i actually thought it would go down to a competitive loss for arce that can be justified by the higher weight and long in the tooth.

    good for arce ;)

    Is it just me or is it hard to keep in mind that Arce is still in his early thirties?

    Yeah, he did! But I think that was Carb's last fight and it was just a great tail-end cherry on top. Arce was WBO champ then, when the title was on shakier grounds than it is now and Carb stopped him. He's had a good long career despite being young.

    I'm surprised, too. I thought Arce was older and more past it than he really was. Props to him for proving me wrong and taking care of Castillo early!
