The_budweiser Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Former champion Jorge Arce (56-6, 43KOs) of Mexico will get his wish. Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum has confirmed that a deal has been agreed to in principle for unbeaten Wilfredo Vazquez Jr. (20-0, 17KOs) of Puerto Rico to defend his WBO super bantamweight title against Arce on May 7 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. The fight will be part of the pay-per-view undercard to Manny Pacquiao's defense of the WBO welterweight title against Shane Mosley. "The only thing remaining is to sign the contracts. We have a verbal agreement and we believe that it's going to be a great fight," Arum told Carlos Gonzalez.

londoner Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 I think Vazquez Jr will be too big and strong for Arce. The latter has been in too many wars and is quite small. I see a late KO win for Vazquez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAZZ-MCFC Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 good fight but Vazquez Jr wins convincingly there's a gulf in class between the two, although Arce has a fair but more experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sugarboy Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 I think Vazquez Jr win by KO. Arce is a great warrior but now I see the young WV2 clearly favored. Mexico vs Puerto Rico............... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skav Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Apart from the size difference, isn't Arce a bit past it now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
londoner Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Apart from the size difference, isn't Arce a bit past it now? Well, he's 31 so you would think he's got a little left still. But, he has been fighting for 14 years and has had 64 bouts. In that sense i think he's a bit of an Erik Morales. A guy who's prime career was over by 30. Arce has been in too many wars.
