WBO super bantamweight champion Jorge ?Travieso? Arce has revenge on his mind as he prepares to battle South Africa?s former IBF super flyweight champion Simphiwe Nongqayi in Mexicali, Mexico on Sunday, Manila Time.
Arce is one of the big-name fighters being eyed by WBC/WBO bantamweight champion Nonito? The Filipino Flash? Donaire but right now Arce plans to take care of his title defense against the tough Nongqayi while Donaire prepares for his title defense against undefeated two-division champion Omar Narvaez of Argentina at New York?s Madison Square Garden on October 22.
Arce who has a record of 67-6-2 with 44 knockouts is one of the most attractive fighters with an aggressive style and a willingness to wage war against his opponents. He lost the IBF title by a twelve round unanimous decision against Nongqayi on September 15, 2009 while his brother Francisco also lost by a twelve round unanimous decision to the South African on February 28, 2009.
Nongqayi himself lost the title by a stunning 6th round TKO to Mexico?s Juan Alberto Rosas on July 31, 2010 and hasn?t fought since then. The 14 month layoff may tell on the South African in Sunday?s showdown.
Arce claims there is a triple motivation to defend his title. To begin with Arce says it?s a big fight on a big fight card. Then, he has the desire to avenge his brother Franciso Arce?s loss to Nongqayi and lastly he wants his own revenge against the South African for beating him on what Arce claimed was ?a bad night.?
The brash Mexican who has trained hard for eight weeks under trainer Jesus Lucero says he?s taking the fight very seriously and promises to make Nongqayi pay for beating him and his brother.
