Jorge Arce stole the show !

How about that Arce vs. Vasquez fight ? What a war !

Arce looked to be slowin down a bit, and Vasquez was pullin away with it a bit with sharp counter punching, but then Arce turned up the heat in the championship rounds and stopped Vasquez in the 12th and final round. Vasqeuz Sr. had to throw in the towell.

Great show of balls by Vasquez to even take on Arce, and great boxing as well.

He'll be back.

But tonight belongs to the lolly pop suckin, horse ridin, ugly, mean lil bastard Jorge Arce ! ;D

Totally agree he's one of my favourite fighters, win or lose he always give's it his all, and is always a pleasure to watch.

That's got to be the FOTY so far hasn't it ?

We keep wanting to label every good fight this year as FOTY don't we ? I mean its hard not to !

But, I still think Berto vs. Ortiz was fight of the year with all of the great knockdowns, the redemption story for Ortiz etc.

Also, Morales vs. Maidana was amazing.

Arce vs. Vasquez was damn close though. That finish was like something out of a movie !

Just for the record I picked Arce...finally my underdog pick came through. ;D Vasquez had balls picking Arce that early in his career without really being tested properly first. He showed some good stuff just needed to get off the ropes, after the 10th he was probably winning on those two cards.

It was a cracking fight, it put the two before it and the one after it to shame. I had a great time watching that one.

Up until about the tenth round I kept thinking "This is GREAT matchmaking for Vasquez. He'll learn a ton, come out a better fighter, and though he's getting hit way too much the little cowboy can't really hurt him."

OOOOOOPS!

A magnificent effort.

And he called out Darch again, id pay to see that.

The fight of the night and unbelievable performance. Darch will beat him though.

Yeah i think he would lose again but still it would be entertaining while it lasts. That straight left of darch will hit again..and again...again until Arce drops.

great comeback by Arce, i wasn't giving him much of a chance and with good reason given how he's performed as of late prior to this fight add on he was jumping up 2 weight classes and well it really speaks highly about how relentless this little Duran of a man can be, Vazquez can hold his head up high though, he showed last night that he has the heart and desire to be a great champion, he took a risk and well it didn't go in his favor last night but he will be back, but that's what happens when real fighters take risks, it usually raises up their value win or lose, that's why Chavez Jr continues to get criticized and Vazquez is only getting praised

Had never seen Jorge Arce before. What a gutsy performance from someone who wanted to win. He gets knocked down, comes back to score a knockdown. Shane Mosley gets knocked down, he gets on his bicycle, and grabs and holds whenever possible.

They were saying during the fight last night that Arce was the most popular fighter/person in mexico, that's pretty amazing considering how many other fighters/entertainers there are in mexico.

Nice to see the little warrior pick up a 3rd title, I bet he made a ton of new fans last night, and his stock has risen through the roof.

Gotta agree Arce made the whole night!!! I have always beena big Arce fan I mean the guy gives it his all EVERYTIME out win or lose....Arce is worth the price of a ticket...I thought he would lose but I am glad he proved me wrong!!!

I knew "Travieso" would pull through and overwhelm Vasquez Jr. As my father said during the fight, "Vasquez is just a young kid in a war with a battle scarred vet." Despite coming up two weight classes, Arce proved how devastating experience and toughened skin can be. As for WV2, it was a valuable learning opportunity and he will come back much stronger. Fight of the night.

Gotta love Acre's hug at the opening of the 12th* round; bad intentions or not, it was skulduggery at its finest.

"Skulduggery at its finest"....

Classic line ha ha :D

How can you not love a boxer like this. He doesn't have the elites skill but man he makes up for it in grit, determination, heart and persistance. This guy leaves it all in the ring almost every fight.

Views of all of Arce's Youtube vids are skyrocketing. He's finally getting the recognition he deserves for great justice. >_<d

I suppose I'll have to catch a rerun of this fight and I always liked the Wayne Arce handled himself in the ring. He also seems to be a good guy even when he wears the black hat.

Surely he wouldn't want to fight Vic again? I remember Arce clearly saying to his corner at the end of round one "he's a beast" Vic beats him again i'm afraid.

No, Bella Gonzalez who is Shane Mosley's girlfriend stole the show.

To be honest even though Berto/Ortiz was great in spurts, especially the 1st half. The 2nd half of the fight was quite boring IMO, this one was great throughout and had a dramatic ending.
