Vasquez Jr. is another guy getting overhyped because of his name. Arce will be the toughest guy he's fought, even at this advanced stage of his career.

apparently you haven't seen many Vazquez Jr fights, cause no way in hell is Arce, who's jumping up 2 divisions, going to bully Vazquez Jr who's huge for 122 and well IMO is the biggest puncher at that weight, as for No Contest, unlike Chavez Jr who's living off his daddy's name and fighting bums like Vanda and Duddy, Vazquez Jr actually has managed to step up to world class opposition before his 20th pro fight, unlike Chavez who's on what now? his 50th fight as a pro?, Vazquez Jr had no amateur experience either and yet he's still fighting world class guys, i'm against the Arce fight because as you'll see come fight night he's going to blow him away, and well it's probably gonna be brutal
don't be shocked to see Vazquez Jr being bigger than Lopez in about 2 or 3 years
Had to bring this thread back in light of the current state of the super-bantamweight division and the fact that Nonito has recently moved up to attempt a coup d'etat of Arce's title. If this fight does get set, who do you think will win and will it be as easy for Nonito as he confidently suggests? Jorge has shown his fangs are still sharp and he still has a beast in him after he mauled Vasquez Jr. Is Arce in the most danger of his career? Or will Nonito's over confidence be his downfall?
Oh, and PSL's Arce vs Vasquez prediction was right on the money! LOL^^^
Respect. :cool:
Yeah I gotta say that Nonito still has this, however if he was to move up to fight Arce without taking on at least the winner of the Mares-Agbeko bout then I have to call foul. Just my opinion but that one and done $hit isn't enough to claim a division no matter who you beat.
nonito would catch arce with a punch that would probably knock darchiniyan back out.
There's always that chance that Arce could land that "one punch" on Donaire, but I'd have to admit that he would probably suffer through hell before it. But there's just something about Arce that makes me gun for him; his self sacrificing style and the never-back-down spirit that he pits behind every punch. Those two traits blow the textbook out the window and seem to give him a chance at anytime against anyone.
I vote Jorge Arce in recent form with War Hawk Cortez as ref.
Arce would have gotten beat then and he'd get beat now....
Nonito is a beast way too fast if Montiel couldn't handle him Arce doesn't stand a chance in hell.
The only version of Arce that stands a chance was the 2005/2006 version of him.
Really Julius... Arce is garbage.
A garbage fighter is a WBO Light Fly champ, WBC Light Fly champ 7 defenses, WBC Interim Fly champ (the Interim bullshit was because a real garbage of a fighter by the name of PongsaShit refused to fight him) and I wont even bother listing the WBO Super Fly title because that shit was pulled out of someones ass Angkot nor did Arce had any business being in that ring fighting for that title.
Now he just won the WBO Super Bantam title off a young undefeated champ.
It's not just that he's won titles but he's fought top opposition since the begining of his career 1996. Darchiyan, Carbajal, Romero, Gamboa, Burgos, Cordoba, Alvarez, Rubillar, Choi, Hussein, Castro, Mijares, Rojas, Castillo and now Vasquez Jr.
I'm not claiming Arce as an ATG but garbage he's not. He's an excellent body puncher and he could actually box really well as seen in his bout vs. Carbajal among others.
I've often said that the lower weights need to be looked at differently then the higher weights. Remember that in the lower weights careers tend to be shorter, which means you can have only 10 fights but already be a top contender and or a champ. Careers aren't build up as much as other weight classes. I mean for example Eagle Junlaphan considered one of the best just 18-2, Yutaka Niida 23-2-3, Hideyuki Ohashi 19-5, Zolani Petelo 17-5-2, Yoko Gushiken 23-1, Chan-Hee Park 17-4-2, Sung-Kil Moon 20-2 to name a few. These are guys who are p4p some of the best from the lower weights. Sure the records don't stand a chance in comparison by numbers to those of Duran, Arguello, JCC and Monzon but again that's because things are different with the small guys.
Arce's record stands at 57-6-2 with titles and big names. His best weight class was Light Fly and for me he's somewhere in the top 6 of that weight class along with Gonzalez, Carbajal, Zapata, Chang & Yuh.
And I agree with the 2nd part of your post. Donaire would quite possibly send him into retirement.
That made me laugh... ;D
As fine a warrior as they come, Jorge Arce against Nonito stands no chance at victory whatsoever.
He is a bit past his prime and relies mainly on toughness to outslug his foes, overwhelm them or get the wins by decision.
He is stll a champion and an accomplished combatant but against Donaire, as the saying goes that styles make fights, Jorge's toughness will not temper, neither will it stymie the killer counter left, the staple knockout producer of the former, that will own his name.
If anything, Arce's perpetually going forward style shall spell a surefire disaster against Nonito Jr. It can even be considered a real health risk for the Mexican warrior if this fight ever takes place.
I do not see Arce altering his gameplan to a level effective enough to offset the skill and physical advantages that Nonito Donaire has over him, therefore, Donaire by easy KO.
Lopez and Vazquez sure do have a lot in common. Besides both being Puerto Ricans who were some what over hyped. Both were undefeated fighters who lost there 0 to Mexican vets that they were suppose to destroy. Both suffered TKO losses in which somebody had to saved them. There damn near twins.
