Can Jorge Arce become the first Mexican 4-weight titlist?

Arce has held a strap at three weights; he's past his prime, shopworn, and fighting a naturally bigger fighter on the rise in Wilfredo Vasquez Jr.

How good is Vasquez Jr? I was impressed with his win over Sonsona, who was highly regarded over a win over a guy I thought was decent, at super fly for the WBC title I think. Jumping two weight classes, he was badly Hirt by Vasquez Jrs body assault.

But Arce is a veteran, and has carried a respectable dig through the lower weights. Can he spring an upset? Or will he get damaged again, bleed bucketloads and go out on his shield?

I can see the latter option being more viable, Arce is hard as **** but way past his best. Vasquez Jr can bust him up and force a stoppage in about seven or eight rounds I reckon.

 

Any opinions on this on the eve of the fight? Or is it a given the fresher, naturally bigger guy stops the shopworn slugger with the porous defence?

I would say it is the latter, still, would love to see Arce do it!

 

Thought I might get some differing opinions, maybe from some who weren't yet won round by Vasquez.

Instead, here's the man in my avatar putting on a masterclass against this young bucks old man :yep

I implore everyone who sees this post to watch this fight :bbb

 

:happy

Although I was wrong, Arce only had straps in two weights. He's now a 'three weight belt holder'.

For a man who was at his best at Fly, this was a solid win for him.
