Puerto Rico's Jesus Rojas (18-1, 13KOs) is training for the opportunity of a lifetime. He faces WBO super bantamweight champion Jorge Arce on the Manny Pacquiao-Timothy Bradley undercard, on June 9th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. The fight is taking place at a max catch-weight of 124-pounds.

"I'm very motivated. I have not been given many opportunities in my career but I have to take it. Arce is a world champion and I have to be ready for anything. I want to give a good impression on myself. It's not everyday that one gets the chance to be involved on one of Pacquiao's events, fighting in a co-feature and on television. I will give my best to try to get the win. I worked really hard for thist," Rojas told Carlos Gonzalez.

Rojas is trained by Evangelista Cotto, the uncle and former trainer of former three division champion Miguel Cotto and his brother Jose Miguel.

"We felt that it was pointless to get Jesus down to 122 pounds if there was no title at stake," Cotto said.

"Jesus is motivated and we are preparing to give a good fight. It will not be easy for Arce."
