Very concerning indeed, He took a lot of shots the other night and although he seemed ok at the end of the bout and in his interview where he seemed quite chirpy a lot of the time with brain injuries it takes time before it takes affect, i wish him well.
Arce knew he was in serious trouble with Darchinyan after only 1 round, They were quoting him saying "He's a Bad Dude" or something like that and the look on his face was also worrying. to go out and keep engaging for another 10 rounds show's that the man has a huge heart and is a Great warrior. Hope he hang's them up now and doesn't fight again, he was always great to watch and could continue in boxing with his TV Work.
That was a brutal, brutal fight for all 11 or so rounds, Arce should pack it in. He's had a fine career, no need to get hurt.
Glad hes alright, Big respect to the little fella man. He took some heavy heavy shots and still kept coming back for more. Too brave for his own good I think. True warrior. Put your feet up and call it a day. :good
i thought it was to do with the cuts which were reopening. but either way he should retire foremost. he gave a good effort in a top tier level fight and walked out as peoples champ he should rest on his laurals
Yeah, unfortunately, and this is rare, I kinda switched off after the 5th as he was clearly over matched or not on form. His guard was locked tight all night. I do not like to see fighers like that take so much punishment. They have so much pride and heart that someone does need to step in, hopefully he is OK.
Even watching the uppercuts' Darchinyan was landing made my eye's and ears hurt. He took a bad beating hope he retires with his health intact.
