Am I the only one drooling over this prospect? Nonito will surely be going up a division anytime now. Jorge is starting to get old, but he still looks fast and MAN does he bring it to every fight. I'd naturally be betting on Donaire, but I think Arce would have a good chance, and it would be a spectacular fight.
Also- I find it kind of odd, but evidently Arce never fought Narvaez @ Super Bantam? Too bad. Narvaez fought at higher weights about 6 times in his career, and Arce used to be in the 115 lbs range, so this fight would have been possible. Considering Narvaez' domination of his division, I'm surprised this fight never happened.
Hey, I'd LOVE to make it happen! I can afford to offer them about 50 bucks a piece. Do you think they'd go for it? -Maybe if I spike my hair & wave an American flag around, then offer them a big piece of the back-end. (which they'll never actually see because I spike my hair & wave an American flag around .....)
Hey, Whaddaya' know? : http://www.donairevsnarvaez.info/jorge-arce-wants-to-fight-nonito-donaire.html#more-23 I can't imagine Donaire would be afraid to take him on. Fingers crossed....
I'd rather see Donaire vs Vasquez jnr or Aquendo for the vacant WBO 122 belt.Arce is old and is not a natural 122. The Rican are young and are quality boxers. Arum is a terrible match maker.
Maybe 10 years ago... man Arce is getting up there. I still remember watching him get ktfo by Carbajal.
