Can a Filipino Stop the Blitzkrieg of Jorge Arce? PhilBoxing.com Sat, 04 Mar 2006 The Manny Pacquaio’s cult-like personality was at the expense of the blood of the unfortunate Mexico’s Three Musketeers Barrera, Marquez, and Morales. Those hard falls on the canvas the three suffered bolster the worth of the Filipino gladiator. This will not only make him as the best pound for pound, but will make him recipient of more big pay checks in the future like Roy Jones, Oscar dela Hoya, and others during their prime. He is a one man demolition job who wrought havoc in the Super Featherweight, Featherweight, and Super Bantamweight Divisions ( between 130 – 122 lbs) . There is no such man who can stroke our primal excitement in the Flyweight and Junior flyweight divisions ( between 112 – 108 lbs). However, there are three warriors there who are saber-rattling and praying before the gods of war that one of them can put a stop to the swashbuckling destroyer of the flyweight division named Jorge “Travieso” Arce. Brian Villoria (Junior flyweight), Disodado Gabi (flyweight), and Vic Darchinian (flyweight) have moist eyes on how to snatch the belt of Mexico’s boxing version’s of Field Marshal Erwin Rommel. Like the Thinker (resting his forehead against his back fingers and palm as he seated on a toilet bowl as printed by those naughty tees) Villoria , and the winner of the Gabi-Darchinian slug fest will have a lot of brain storming on how to deliver the version of El Alamein in Egygt to Travieso . By the way, El Alamein is where British Lt. General Bernard Montgomery defeated Rommel’s invading Africa Corp and thus stopped the invincibility of the latter’s genius in mauling to pulp his enemies either they be in the American, French, British, Australian, and New Zealand forces. In these two miniscule weight divisions, the future is Arce. His defeat means, prestige, and lots of money. To those who are unfamiliar with Travieso. His record is: 41 wins, three losses, and 1 draw, with 27 knockouts. Again. While Villoria is 19 wins – 12 knockouts; Darchinyan is 24 wins – 19 Knockouts, and Gabi is 26 wins- 2 losses-1 draw- 18 knockouts . Aside from more wars and more experienced enemies, the Mexican has in the past six years had not suffered a loss . He fought and defeated world and former world champions. His credentials and performances can proselytize the atheist to become a theist, an opera singer to become an acid rock and roller. And a tightwad to become a spendthrift. He is probably the Barrera-Marquez-Morales combined in the flyweight division. Because of space-constraint, I will not talk about who were those tough opponents, and how he won those matches. I will instead talk how he lost a fight. Yes, dude. How he lost a fight for a change in column writing! My memorable experienced was in July 31, 1999. A young over-confident and aggressive Arce fought a former three-time champion, the hard hitting Michael Carbajal. Arce was far ahead on all three judges’ scorecards after 10 rounds of intense in-figthing, but because of Murphy’s Law or call it luck, Carbajal connected a right hand on his chin and eventually captured the crown via a technical knockout. Nobody could paint the ecstasy on the face of Carbajal. As if he won alone the lotto in the Philippines. But everybody can draw the pale- faced of dizzy and embarrassed Arce who looked like he just fell in an opened manhole in some dark sidewalks out there. Filipinos will hate this brash Arce guy. One is his irreverence lately to the family and relatives of Villoria. He said he can fight him even at the place of the latter, where Brian’s family and relatives will be the judges. He will not give a damn on it since he will deliver Brian to the dreamland via KO. Not even the controversial election commissioner of the Philippines Virgilio Garcillano can save Brian on this conclusion, I surmised. Was that overconfidence, or pure braggadocio? What I know is, it will take a lot of researching, conditioning and training on the part of either Villoria, Gabi, or even the hard hitting Armenia fighter Vic Darchinyan to successfully face Mexico’s ego and dwindling saving graces. (Send reactions to totomortz@yahoo.com, or Mobile Phone 09192760964) Below were the reactions on my previous column from readers worldwide: Wazzup Mortz! Just want to share my insights if ever Brian and Arce meet each other in the ring. The Hawaiian punch is a hard puncher, he got the ability to counter punch. On the other side is "El Travesco" Arce the one that I called the"Little thunder Gatti" this guy is a maniac with a very big heart. Arce is also packed with power, hard whisker and very aggressive that can dictate the tempo of the fight. The 2 last performace of Brian against Otiz and Aguirre is not enough to stop this ring maniac Arce. As we all saw during the Morales vs Pacquiao I, Arce went into a bloodbath against Hussein from Australia, a very exciting fight won by Arce via KO. Not to discredit our Champion Brian, but I think he is not yet ready for Arce, Brian must learn on how to move his head in order not to become a stationary target for Arce. If Brian vs Arce happen. I am sure the Mexican will win via KO on the later rounds. (Peace) Tharickz.Nierra From:Ricky Nierra wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww WHY IS THAT ERIK WANTS TO FIGHT MANNY AT 132LBS.

Hey what d we have here trilogy for pacman barrera pacman to morales hmmnthat sounds money making fight huh ? looks like a dog derby and a cock derby to me...... well whatever happens money talks baby most probably the manager ,producer ,and promoter will be getting big bucks out of it and be getting ready to rumble !!!!!!!!!!!!! in the other hand that seems to be a promising fight (trilogy) but it would be better if the 3 of them will fight on the same time yeah 3 on 3 baby dont u think that is better and much exciting (i bet is a good idea) better yet to be called the greatest feather weight fight of all dnt the producers, managers, and promoter think abou it and if that happens will be asking dmx and 50 cent to make up with a soundtrack much better than album pacman came up hey guys if u have any feed back about this holla me back at cutline_edgze@yahoo.com edj abalos (state of the californication . From: Edge Abalos, State of Californication Wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww Pare, I think you should stop writing columns about boxing. Especially about Brian Viloria. Brian fights for himself, his family and his hometown in Hawaii. I don't know why your calling Hawaii "Old Hawaii" but it doesn't make sense. Anyway, you are not the one in the ring fighting so who are you to judge the way he fought that night. I know Brian from when he was training @ six years old. So, don't piss me off and tell the people that his fight was unimpressive. You really don't know how he felt in that ring that night so back the f!*k up. Besides, looking at your picture there, you don't look as if you can throw a straight punch. I wasn't going to waste my time writing this but looking at your picture I feel I just had to. From: Ritchie Agustin Mortz’s Reply: Peace man, peace! wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww Manny Pacquaio next fight shoul;d be title fight. No more trilogy fight with Erik Morales. It should be Marco Antonio Barrera. However, as if he is dodging to fight the Pacman. From: Spider Wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww Sir, I’m your former student in the Philippine Constitution and Political Dynamics. The fire is still there when I read your article. Kelan uli tayo jamming? Missed your Eagles and other rock songs. From: Ryan Orbon wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww Brian Villoria will need one or two tune up fight against caliber fighter before meeting Jorge Arce. These match will be at 112 lbs to prepare him against the mighty Arce. From: Jeff Bernal Click here for a complete listing of columns by this author.
