    Two always entertaining fighters with a charismatic personality and an aggressive style who thrive on a shootout. Does Tapia outclass Arce with his superior speed and skills or could Arce give Tapia a rough time with his relentless pressure and body punching?

    Tapia at his best and most laser focused beats Arce without of doubt but I still think Arce has a decent shot depending on which Tapia shows up and if its above 115. Let's not forget that Tapia had lapses and made fights harder than necessary on occasion. He arguably lost to Arthur Johnson and Manuel Medina. If a fighter like Paulie Ayala was able to be competitive and beat Tapia twice whose to say that Arce wouldn't be able to give him a tough outing as well?
