    He has fully established himself as top tier now. He belongs in the top 10 p4p with out question. He did it with Mijares, but this cements it. Arce is beyond his best, but he still proved active and powerful against Concepcion - Darchinyan cancelled that out...

    I hope Donaire or Montiel are next - if he can beat both of them I'll give him a chance against Vasquez. Doubt he will pull that off though!

    Awesome to have an elite fighter stemming from Oz again! :happy

    I know I got excited reading the results here at work it cheered me up GO VIC !
    Good to see someone from OZ who can walk as much as they talk.
    He sure did a number on Arces head !

    Vics has improved with every fight since his defeat against the
    classy Donaire, his feet are as quick as ive seen them, if he moved up
    in weight - I actually see Vic dominating even more in the next couple
    of yrs..

    So, congrats to Vic today on his effortless display, I have no doubt that
    he wouldve knocked Arce out cold in the 12th..

    Credit to whoever has worked with Vic to make him such an inproved
    fighter since the Donaire loss

    Well done, he surely must have proved some of the doubters wrong since the loss to Donaire. Tops off a good week-end for me.

    It was a good fight with Vic getting most rounds...round 4 he hurt Arce bad...could have ended hin then.

    Vic P4P top 7 now for me :good

    Although it's a good win for Vic, I don't think it particularly pushes him up p4p rankings. Arce has been in decline for some time now.

    Dont agree mate...the Mijares win got him in or on the cusp of most p4p lists and this great win will push him in.

    Look for p4p lists in the next month to show VIC top 10 :deal

    This win is nowhere near the win that Mijares was. This fight is probably 2 years too late at least. Convincing beat down none the less but Arce has shown significant slippage since Lookmanahak.

    Agree but are you saying VIC is still out of the p4p top 10?

    Good win for Vic, he didnt have it all his own way though. Still great to see him get the win even though I wish it went the distance as I had money on Vic to win by decision.

    Yeah I was keen to see another round even though I picked him ko7.....just thought last round would go off big time.

    He's on the fringes. No where near top 7 in my opinion. Avenging getting put to sleep by Donaire would help.
