By Jake Donovan - Former lineal junior flyweight king Jorge “El Travieso” Arce kept alive plans for a bantamweight title fight with Eric Morel after turning back the challenge of fringe contender Cecilio Santos.
The wildly popular Mexican overcame a shaky start to wear down and stop Santos early in the seventh round of their Fox Sports Espanol-televised main event on Saturday evening at El Centro de Usos Multiples in Ciudad Obregon, Sonora, Mexico.
Both fighters weighed 119 lb, as Arce’s alphabet super flyweight title was not at stake.
Arce was assertive yet measured in the early rounds, surprisingly fighting in reverse but still making his presence felt with heavy right hands upstairs as well as a dedicated body attack.
