Darchinyan-Arce – For All The Marbles On Feb 7th
By Jim Dower: IBF/WBC super flyweight champion Vic Darchinyan (31-1-1, 25 KOs) mixes it up against veteran Jorge Arce (51-4-1, 39 KOs) on February 7th at The Pond, in Anaheim, California.

Darchinyan vs. Arce On Feb 7th
By Manuel Perez: IBF/WBA/WBC super flyweight champion Vic Darchinyan (31-1-1, 25 KOs) takes on Jorge Arce (51-4-1, 39 KOs) on February 7th at The Pond, in Anaheim, California. This fight has the makings of a classic, but more than likely it will end up disappointing. Arce, 29, just looks badly overmatched in this one. He’s got power, and has proven himself throughout his career winning titles in the light flyweight and flyweight divisions.
