Jorge kicks Arce

By Josh ⋅ September 23, 2006 ⋅ Post a comment

Jorge “Travieso” Arce 44-3-1 (34) has a super flyweight title eliminator bout tonight against South African Masibulele “Hawk” Makepula 28-3 (18). For those not familiar with boxing’s weight divisions, super flyweights (aka junior bantamweights — gotta love boxing) are 113-115 lbs. Believe it or not, 113 is heavy for Arce, who has spent most of his career as a flyweight or light flyweight (106-108).

So why should you tune in to watch a guy that looks like your kid brother and weighs less than your kid sister? Because Travieso’s one of the most exciting fighters in the game. The fight will be featured on HBO Boxing After Dark.
