Mexican superstar Jorge “Travieso” Arce (50-4-1, 38 KOs) became a three-division world champion on Monday night by stopping reigning titleholder Rafael “Torito” Concepcion (11-3-1, 7 KOs) in round nine for the WBA interim super flyweight belt at the Arena Mexico in Mexico City. Arce methodically ramped up the punishment as the bout progressed and Concepcion failed to come out for round nine.
In a WBA super featherweight eliminator, Jorge “Coloradito” Solís (36-1-2, 26 KOs) battered Jorge Samudio (17-4-1, 7 KOs), getting fourth round TKO.

All I can say is Arce won this fight by pure heart, he was out on his feet a few times and somehow by pure will managed to not go down and come back to win the fight. Very entertaining, it reminded me of Gatti vs Ward.
And if you haven’t seen the Gatti vs Ward “wars” you are really missing out.
