Posted on Monday, June 29th, 2009 by INTHEFLESH
On the Top Rank Latin Fury 9 undercard at the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City,New Jersey,USA. The former four-time world champion Jorge “El Travieso” Arce (52-5-1, 40KOs) from Los Mochis,Sinaloa,Mexico stopped Filipino No.1 ranked flyweight fighter Fernando Lumacad (18-2-2, 7 KOs) after landing a crushing overhand right in the third round. This fight was a WBC super flyweight eliminator. Jorge Arce returned to the ring with a big win after he was battered by one of the best pound for pound fighters in the sport Vic Darchinyan back in February 9,2009. Arce weighed in at 115 pounds Friday while Lumacad Weighed in at 114.5 pounds. Jorge Arce has been a pro for 13 years and five months. He’s boxed 319 total rounds in his 57 pro bouts, including 90 rounds in world title contests. His KO percentage is a whopping 76 percent. Despite all that mileage, Arce only turns age 30 on July 27, 2009. Also on the card, overrated Juan Manuel Lopez(Juanma) gave a lackluster performance for Top Ranks main event. This was the first fight by Arce with his new Trainer the great Nacho Beristain of Mexico City,Mexico.
Jorge “El Travieso” Arce :
“I want to thank my fans and let everyone know that I’m back”, He(Lumacad) headbutted me and caused the cut over my left eye”, I hit him with a right hand really hard right on his chin and I knew it was over”, I saw a lot of film of him (Lumacad) and I know he’s a very technical fighter, very good technically but we did a lot of good work under ‘Nacho’ Beristain and it showed tonight”, I don’t know who I will fight next, I have to discuss it with my promoter Fernando Beltran, but I would like to fight in Las Vegas in September”….
