This fight has bloodbath all over it.
That fight means absolutely nothing in relation to this fight. Completely different styles. Vic has good power and he's improved his skills, but Arce hits harder than Nonito and Vic still leaves himself open enough for Arce to be able to land. Arce also takes a punch pretty well.
Vic is riding high of his excellent performance against Mijares. I'm not taking anything away from him, but personally I think Mijares was a bit weight drained in that fight. He looked like crap before the weigh-in and he's now moving up to 118. Vic did not face the same version of Mijares.
This is going to be a lot like Mosley/Margo. Everybody was high Margo because of the Cotto win and they didn't give Shane a chance because all the could think about is Margo beating Cotto and Cotto beating Mosley. How did that one work out. It doesn't help that Vic is so completely arrogant that thinks he only lost to Nonito because of a lucky punch.
Arce will catch him eventually, and Vic will go to sleep. Then I will laugh.
