Who Wins: Nonito Donaire vs. Jorge Arce at 122 Lbs.

well it's an open forum, so everyone's got their own opinion. Donaire wouldnt lose to arce at any point in his career, that includes early 2005/06 when people thought he was being protected (including ring magazine) His style is a nighmare for a guy like arce, however Donaire has a tendency to fight down to his opposition so arce has about a punchers chance and thats it. I will say this, its funny to see himself in the same position Carbajal was in back in 1999.

Can't believe you're asking who wins. lol well it's an open forum, so everyone's got their own opinion.

This fight is an absolute joke. Donaire will win whenever he wants and could end it within a couple rounds. Arce has been exceptionally well managed over the years, snared the WV2 win amidst losses to pretty much everyone else with a serious pulse over the last decade or so, and always fun to watch, but he's so outclassed here it's not funny. This is all business. if he was well managed he would have never been in there with mijares in the first place whos jab and height were always gonna be an issue for someone like arce, so no. my only regret is that we never got to see him against wongjongkam in his prime, that was the fight.

I haven't got a problem with this fight.Arce doesn't have a hope in hell,but it's not exactly common to see an elite fighter fighting this often,and it's against the type of guy that,on paper,will make Donaire look good.Nice little showcase to cap off the year and nothing more than that.

FP, I'll never let you become a Donaire fan. Stay the Pacquiao fanatic that you've been. Just stay there.

Can't believe you're asking who wins. lol

Donaire is going to send Arce off to the sunset after he lands that left hook on him.

bob arum wins. :fing02:. it's always been about the money

bob arum wins.

Donaire all the way but its going to be a hard great fight for both. What will remotely be hard about this fight for Donaire? This is Gatti-Mayweather redux in terms of competition.

Donaire all the way but its going to be a hard great fight for both.

are you kidding me, arce is shot and doesnt belong at 122. People were talking about arce being shot when darchiniyan fought him and that was 3 years ago. Yeah I know the fighter a,b,c scenario doesnt always apply, but it does here, arce has no defense and is smaller than donaire, he will get KTFO.

nonito donaire will climb the ring for the 4th time this year to prove once more than he’s the best fighter in and around his division, against the tough mexican slugger jorge arce on dec. 15 in houston. donaire is still trying to heal a ripped knuckle which he first tore in sparring and re-opened after dropping nishioka during their fight. i personally think it's a good thing donaire is keeping active but not so good in terms of not fighting elite opposition in their prime. (mares & rigo, where you at?) donaire is arguably the most complete fighter in the entire lower weight division and has won all his bouts in the last 11 years (sole defeat 2nd pro fight by UD 5rds) as well as winning the most awards for knock of the year. as for arce, in his last 10 bouts, he's won 8 of them, 1 NC and the other was a split draw, but his all go no quit aggressive fighting style is sure electric to watch making arce somewhat a p4p draw. i forcesee an exciting fight between doanire-arce. arce is known to engage in all-out brawls that could play well into donaire’s sharp, counter-punching abilities who can set up a knock out win. if donaire was able to brutally beat an undefeated darchinyan from his senses, just imagine what he might do to arce. i have donaire winning by TKO round 8 after multiple knock downs. your thoughts? This fight is an absolute joke. Donaire will win whenever he wants and could end it within a couple rounds. Arce has been exceptionally well managed over the years, snared the WV2 win amidst losses to pretty much everyone else with a serious pulse over the last decade or so, and always fun to watch, but he's so outclassed here it's not funny. This is all business.
