The brutal battle between 112 pound Flyweights, Jorge “Travieso” Arce (39-3-1, 29 KOs) vs. Hussein Hussein (26-2, 20 KOs), will no doubt be another fight-of-the-year candidate. To the fans delight, this scheduled 12 rounder provided nonstop action from the opening bell.
For a moment it seemed like Arce would make quick work of Hussein in the opening minutes of round one, but with the help of referee Vic Draculich, Hussein managed to compose himself and get back in the fight.
In the fifth round, it was high drama as Hussein battled back and opened a nasty gash across Jorge Arce nose. But, the gritty Arce only seemed to become energized by the sight of his own blood. In a whirlwind of punches and relentless pressure, it was becoming evident that Jorge Arce was getting the better of Hussein.
Arce billed himself as Mexico’s favorite fighter, and at 2:07 minutes of the tenth round … when the hard punching, and game Hussein wilted under a barrage of vicious punches … Arce introduced American audiences to what Mexican audiences already know: Jorge Arce is a fan favorite!
Despite a heavy loss of blood, the iron jawed Arce found the energy to out-perform Hussein down the stretch. Hussein, to his credit beat the count, but had the fight halted by the referee when his trainer Jeff Fenech jumped into the ring and stopped the fight.
Punching with the same intensity of a young Roberto Duran, and with an equal amount of durability, Jorge “Travieso” Arce is a fighter to keep an eye on.
