Arce Targets Darchinyan, Fight with Vazquez Looks Remote
(Nov. 18, 2008) – Jorge Arce, one of boxing’s most brash talkers, is no longer clamoring for a fight against WBC super bantamweight champion Israel Vazquez. Arce has now set his sights on WBC/WBA/IBF super flyweight champion Vic “The Raging Bull” Darchinyan.
“Vazquez had his shot, but he waited too long to make a decision and quite frankly, I think he was scared of the match up,” Arce said. “I can only hope that Darchinyan won’t run for the hills like Vazquez did.”
Arce, who fights two divisions lower than Vazquez, has been chasing the fellow Mexican-native for quite some time. Most recently, Arce called out Vazquez after his fourth round TKO win over Isidro Garcia just two weeks ago (Saturday, Nov. 1).Â
“I really wanted the fight against Vazquez,” Arce said. “But this is a business and right now a fight with Darchinyan makes more sense. Let’s see how much guts the so-called ‘Raging Bull’ actually has.”
Arce has a record of 51-4-1, with 39 knockouts.

Sadly I think Vic will KO Arce if this fight happens. All of the wars are weighing in on Arce now and he wont be able to take the huge shots from Vic, unless Arce lands a crushing blow to the body I don’t see this one going more than 5 or 6 rounds. : 0 (
I love Arce, but he is not the same anymore.
