Former champion Jorge Arce, who fights Angky Angkotta for the vacant WBO bantamweight title this Saturday night in Mexico, has no idea what Juan Manuel Marquez would have to do to defeat Manny Pacquiao. Arce did not agree with the three official judges who scored a twelve round majority win in favor of Pacquiao at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

It’s not often that a fighter vacates the title with the intention of regaining it in his very next fight. Nor is it usual for that same fighter to give up that same belt to move down a division in what is thought to be the twilight of his career.

There’s been speculation that Nonito Donaire has had trouble making the 118-pound limit for his fight with Omar Narvaez on Saturday at Madison Square Garden. Donaire didn’t dispute this notion that it’s been a chore paring down his body to 118 pounds. When he started the weight-losing process nearly three months ago, he weighed 145 pounds, the result of an eight-month layoff from the ring that’s made it harder to get down to 118 pounds.

WBC featherweight champion Jhonny Gonzalez (50-7, 44KOs) is wonder why Jorge "Travieso" Arce (58-6-2, 45KOs), the WBO's super bantamweight king, is no longer talking. For weeks, Arce was throwing challenges at Gonzalez, but nothing further has been heard for the last two weeks. Gonzalez feels the fight is easily marketable for the cable networks in the United States. But, he would demand a hefty million dollar purse if the promoters obtained a lucrative television fee from an American cable network.
