Jorge Arce stole the show !

[Hulk]

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 !

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. 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.

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.
