arce-vasquez was a hard fought battle that could have ended by ko or stoppage for EITHER fighter. arce got the better of him in the end. vazquez showed a good defense and a good jab against donaire but he was never in the fight really. he got wobbled, dropped and when he opened up to throw occasional one two's, he got right back into his shell. donaire put on a dominant performance overall and beat him more convincingly in my opinion, despite arce's TKO victory.

Originally posted by New England View Postwhile i'm all for the safety of a fighter the arce stoppage came after vasquez father tossed a water bottle at the ref (cortez i believe.)
he looked arm weary and like the body shots were starting to pile up more than anything
it was a stoppage to protect him from further damage, not one that came because he was unable to continue.
he never got dropped, (as you stated,) and he was winning a lot more rounds than he did against donaire.
he started strong and was landing the cleaner punches throughout much of the fight. donaire dominated most stages of the fight and hurt him worse than arce ever hurt him.
power to arce for getting the job done. they say every great fighter has one last great fight
the *****storm over donaire is mostly RIGO BASED
think about it
who was getting this hard on donaire until rigo bashed on ramos?
you think ramos would do anything other than get roughed up horrible by donaire?
he would have looked a hell of a lot more spectacular than rigo if given a chance to fight ramos
rigo looked boring as hell until he started to land the left hand down the center and back ramos up.
and then ramos simply quit
fighting a better fighter (which vasquez jr certainly is. vasquez wouldbeat the brakes off of ramos,) is going to leave you looking less spectacular

This will be your introduction into that one boxing phrase you may have heard in your 2 yrs following boxing- "styles make fights".
Why do almost everyone think donaire will destroy arce??? Because of his willongness to exchange with loopy punches and doesnt have the speed to catch donaire right??
But arce has been in the game a long time. He has a solid chin, he can cut off the ring and force donaire to fight off his back foot.
Which would make for a much more competitive fight than the angles rigondeaux would give donaire and supposedly his weakness but from my observation donaire actually doesnt have a problem with at all.

Arce deserves his chance at cashing out and opportunity to go out on top.
If you watch the way WV2 fought Donaire, it was completely different than the way he fought Arce.
He stood and brawled with Arce, big mistake. He was much more careful with Donaire and that was the difference.
He didn't respect Arce's power and he shouldn't have seeing Arce is a naturally smaller guy. Donaire even though smaller, is much more explosive.
Different fighters, different fight.
I don't think Donaire is a good match up for Arce because he loves to come forward and that exposes him to the big shots from Donaire.

Nonito was never behind in the fight, hurt Vazquez twice, and was in control save for a jab he couldn't find
I do agree that I won't hate on an Arce fight because IMO it's the biggest fight out there for Nonito at 122
