Vazquez v Arce looking likely.

I agree. But to jump 2 divisions against a puncher like Vasquez is crazy! He should look guys like Darchinyan or Munoz IMO

I don't think Munoz is a real money fight though. Maybe Vic although it would have been bigger a year or two ago.

I just see the method behind the madness so to speak. At 115 there's really only Montiel and that's not as big a name as Vazquez, there's no reason to fight anybody at 118 if you're on the way out, I mean why get your ass kicked by Gerry Penalosa for one fifth of the money that you would get for getting your ass kicked by Izzy? I just hope he doesn't get hurt, I suspect though the ref would be watching him closely whether he admits it or not.

I agree Darchinyan would have been bigger awhile back but its still a very winnable & entertaining fight. A Munoz fight would be also very exciting & Arce would have a better chance there than against Vasquez. Theres also Navarro & Kirilov. Banal is on his way up. Arce could play out the end of his career against much safer opponents & still get some good paydays

I like Jorge Arce he is an exciting fighter and he is a good fighter. In a war he is the guy you want to watch because if you choose to trade with him there is a 75% chance he is going to win. Arce has not been KO'd since the great Michael Carbajal almost 10 years ago. (Note I revere his skill as a brawler not as a technical fighter)

This is a fight he is going to get not knocked out in but beaten severly, Izzy is in a whole different caliber right now he may be the best toe to toe guy in the game. I put him in the top 3 anyhow.

I hope the paycheck is worth it.

I always liked arce but i struggle to consider him lasting as long as 8..

I'd be happy if he lasted 4..

Not to say i am even routing for Jorge though, I like israel alot too and im almost certain it goes in his favour.
