Vic v. Arce - Your Pick, and Why?

[rjj tszyu]

This will be the first time I've seen both fighters properly. But from what bits I have seen I think I would have to go for Darchinyan KO.

[SaltyBacon]

chows arce
he throws short accurate punches which vic wont see coming
arce tko 8 cant wait to see the fight

[the_PRODIGY]

If Arce lands that left to the liver (Vic's awkward southpaw stance is made for it) at will, he should wear down Darchinyan quick and stop him. But if he doesn't... his face is gonna get busted up by the Armenian and he's gonna get KTFO.

One thing is for sure..this fight is gonna be a bloodbath.

this is gonna sound terrible but flyweight is just too low of a division for me to really give it any real credibility.

the guys fighting down there are more unique for their small stature and its quite feasible as the worlds population gets taller all the time the flyweight division could be entirely scrapped 10-15 years from now and just segregated into regional titles

In the UK the flyweight belt got decided last weekend between 2 guys both of which have had no more than 2-3 fights and it was the 1st flyweight title contest here in 3 years because nobody is that small anymore.

Cant honestly tell me the guy that is currently holding that belt deserves to call himself a british champion

Rubbish. First, Vic and Arce are 5'6. Many men are 5'6. The average height in many countries is within two inches of 5'6. Moreover, although the physical stature of the boxers may be short, the courage, desire, and atheltic ability are just as big in shorter fighters. The elements in boxing that attract fans to the sport - courage, ability, athleticism etc. - are present in any weight class.

I'd rather watch 2 fit, determined skilled flyweights than the usual fat slob heavyweights any day of the week.

Honestly dude, yeah he does. Edwards has had plenty more than 2 or 3 fights, and is a much better fighter than his record suggests. Bloy was a poor choice as an opponent I agree, but Edwards absolutely deserves to be called British & Commonwealth champion. Honestly, Super-Flyweight was hands down the best division last year with champions actually willing to fight each other and remembering that competative sport is supposed to be about finding out who is the top dog. This fight has the potential to be a FOTY candidate. How can you not care about that?

Didn't the Pacman start as a Flyweight? The smaller guys are the best, from Flyweight up to Featherweight you will see some of the greatest fights of all time.

jimmy wilde. best fighter ever from the other side of the atlantic?

[HattonTheHammer]

As ive said guys im quite sure you`ll find plenty of great south american and asian 112pounders but your not likely to find many stateside or in europe because we just dont make guys that small anymore.

Im not knocking the talents of these 2 guys and im quite sure its gonna be a great fight. But when a division becomes so segmented as this you have to question whether its strength in depth and ability to last the course of time!

This is what we want in the division.It's a really hard division for the fighters themselves but nevertheless it should be a good fight with plenty of trading punches.I understand there only a few boxers at that weight in the uk but we need more fights boardcasted in the division so that it helps put a shining light on the division.It'll do no harm in supporting fighters like these!!!
