rojas was already pummeling Arce on the ending of Round1, and he can KTFO arce. The only problem is, Arce has been there. Arce was hitting Rojas in the body early, his body blows would make a toll on Rojas' energy and would eventually slow down from rd4 onwards. Rojas has the power to dismatle the lollipop king, but I doubt he could make it past 9. Arce TKO9 Rojas through a body shot.
:nod I think no matter what the result, both guys will be pissing blood until sometime next year. Two aggressive hard-hitting body hunters? Yeeeah. :yep :bbb
I just think that Rojas was suprising. Eliminate the fouls, and look at everything he did to Arce, Arce was getting ****ing bashed in the fight. Rojas chin is probably not what it needs to be to take shots from a great puncher like Arce but to be honest it didn't look like Arce's iron chin was taking Rojas punches well either! Arce is a warrior, many divisions champion, but Rojas might be a wall that he won't get past. Seriously Rojas was ****ing brutal in there, i'm talking about his clean blows, you CANNOT deny that the clean blows were ****ing Arce's ass up :deal
Rojas can bang no doubt but a lot of what he did after the KD was based on adrenalin-fueled survival mode. Arce knows what he's up against now and is extra motivated due to the BS the boricua spewed after the fight. Dangerous fight for Arce for the first half of the fight but he will systematically break the young Rojas in their next meeting.
Arce himself said "Esto no se puede quedar asi." "This can't end like this." Rigo or no Rigo Arce will rematch Rojas, probably in Mex. I think Arce will win by late tko or disqualification. Rojas young, hungry kid trying to make a name for himself by any means. Calling a gutsy fighter like Arce a coward after smashing his balls not the best way of gaining fans tho.
Seriously, this rematch might determine whether or not I order the PPV. Of course, the best possible scenario would be for them to fight on HBO.
Other than the knock down, in which Rojas obviously wasn't hurt, that fight was ALL Rojas. Arce will come correct in the rematch yet I still look for the Boricua to win.
watching the fight again...how does Arce go from knocking him down and being on the ropes and holding Rojas. Smh.
Basically: "I thought he turned into a Taino god right in front of the world... I guess I was the only one who saw him begin to glow in brilliant golden light...I was overcome with emotion and I felt a strong urge to kneel... to lay on my bottom and worship him but the referee did not let me worship the Taino god.
