By Gerardo Granados: After watching Victor Ortiz upset Andre Berto to gain the WBC welterweight title, and Orlando Salido upset Juan Manuel Lopez to gain the WBO featherweight title, some friends asked me if Jorge Arce (T64-W56(43)-L6(3)-D2) will be able to defeat the younger champion Wilfredo Vazquez Jr. ( T21-W30(17)-L0-D1). Erik Morales put up a big effort against “Chino” Maidana but the fight judges declared Marcos as the winner, although it was great to see a veteran engage against a young lion the way “El Terrible” did.

By Eric Thomas: Unbeaten WBO super bantamweight champion Wilfredo Vazquez Jr. (20-0-1, 17 KO’s) will be making his 3rd defense of his World Boxing Organization bout on May 7th against former IBF light flyweight champion and current #1 WBO contender Jorge Arce (56-6-2, 43 KO’s) on the undercard of the Manny Pacquiao vs. Shane Mosley bout at the MGM Grand, in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Jorge Arce vs. Wilfredo Vazquez Jr. on Pacquiao-Mosley undercard on 5/7
By Chris Williams: Bob Arum just gave you one more reason to purchase the Manny Pacquiao vs. Shane Mosley fight card on May 7th, by adding a title fight between an old tired Jorge Arce vs. WBO super bantamweight champion Wilfredo Vazquez Jr. to the card. Frankly, I’m not at all interested in seeing that mismatch.
Arce Destroys Lumacad, Martirosyan Stops Tsurkan, Foreman-Bundrage Fight to No Decision
By Jason Kim: Super flyweight Jorge Arce (52-5-1, 40 KO’s) scored a 3rd round knockout over Filipino Fernando Lumacad (19-2-2, 7 KO’s) on Saturday night on the undercard of the WBO super bantamweight title bout between champion Juan Manuel Lopez and challenger Oliver Lontchi at the Boardwalk Hall, in Atlantic City, in New Jersey. Arce, 29, landed a big right hand at the start of the 3rd round that sent Lumacad down on the canvas.
Should Arce Retire?
By Jim Dower: Unless Jorge Arce (51-5-1, 39 KOs) can fight better in the future against top level opposition in the super flyweight division, I think he needs to get out of the sport as soon as possible to save himself from getting seriously hurt. He looked completely shot in losing by an 11th round TKO against Vic Darchinyan on Saturday. Arce’s legs looked weak starting from the 1st round, his hand speed was slow, his power mediocre and his size was inadequate for the super flyweight division.
Cunningham-Braithwaite; Darchinyan Defeats Arce, Nakash Destroys Carrol – News

Darchinyan Destroys Arce
By Chris Williams: I had a sinking feeling that this was going to be a mismatch, but I hoped it would be wrong. I wasn’t. IBF/WBA/WBC super flyweight champion Vic Darchinyan (32-1-1, 26 KOs) toyed with Jorge Arce (51-5-1, KOs) for 11 rounds, winning by an easy 11th round TKO on Saturday night at The Pond, in Anaheim, California. With Arce, 29, cut around both eyes and taking a lot of punishment in the 11th, the ringside doctor stepped in between the 11th and 12th rounds and stopped the fight due to the bad cut on the side of Arce’s right eye, which had made it hard for Arce to see out of the eye.
Darchinyan Too Strong For Arce, Stopping Him In The 11th!
