Arce was one of the most exciting fighter of this era......a true warrior in the ring. Good luck, El Travieso.

No more showcase fights for Donaire, same goes for Khan, after the Molina tuneup.

This was an expansion fight for donaire. The whole purpose was to increase his visibility...Give him an opportunity to take over Arce's Mex fanbase. As well, provide JA w/ a farewell payday. They are friends. Arce was done b4 he even entered the ring....But of course we all knew that. So Nonito beats two guys consecutively who were ready to ride off...Do they mean much or no? never gona happen:dance:

Best thing he can do after last couple of fights, quitting against the Rican and now this. So long Arce, enjoy the retirement.
