Great fight from both ends.. Its always exciting to watch Jorge Arce fight.. He gives a great performance every time.
All I can say is Arce won this fight by pure heart, he was out on his feet a few times and somehow by pure will managed to not go down and come back to win the fight. Very entertaining, it reminded me of Gatti vs Ward.
And if you haven’t seen the Gatti vs Ward “wars” you are really missing out.

I watched the fight ,thought it was a good fight…close until Arce turned the heat up in later rounds!! Rafael “Torito” Concepcion wasn’t going out though..he was fighting his fight just came up short.
