History of Jorge Arce Boxing Career
Jorge Arce (born July 27, 1979) is one of the present Boxing stars of the light flyweight (108-pound) division in the sport of boxing. Born in Los Mochis, Mexico, Arce turned pro at the age of 16. He won his first four boxing fights, then hit a snag beside two future boxing contenders. Arce lost to Omar Romero and drew with Gabriel Munoz in back-to-back boxing fights in the summer of 1996, but then won 10 straight boxing fights and a pair of district belts before losing on points to veteran (and current IBF light flyweight boxing champion) Jose Victor Burgos on December 12, 1997. He improved from that setback with four straight wins, earning his first world title shot on December 4, 1998 against Juan Domingo Cordoba for the WBO light-flyweight boxing title. Arce won the boxing fight and became a world boxing champion at the age of 19.
After making one victorious defense of his boxing title, Arce drew a big-money fight in Tijuana against three-time former champion Michael Carbajal. Arce was ahead on all three judges’ scorecards after 10 rounds, but in the 11th, the veteran Carbajal connected with a right hand and captured the crown via a technical boxing knockout.
After a four-month layoff, Arce returned to the boxing ring and won a WBO regional belt, while working his way back up the boxing rankings for another boxing title shot. That came on October 20, 2001, when he overcome Juanito Rubillar for the interim WBC version of the light flyweight title. Nine months later, he beat Yo-Sam Choi, the reigning boxing champion who had been out with an injury, to take full difference.
He has held the title ever since, making seven successful defenses and winning two non-title bouts as of May 2005.On April 24, 2004, Arce successfully defended his boxing title against former champ Melchor Cob Castro in Tuxtla Gutierrez, Mexico. Arce had beaten Castro in May of 2003, but the fight was called off after six rounds due to a clash of heads which injured Arce. The fight went to the scorecards and Arce won a narrow, but contentious, decision. He left no doubt in the rematch, knocking Castro out in the fifth round.
On September 4 of that same year, he retained the title with a twelve-round decision in a rematch with Rubillar. The boxing fight caused some debate afterwards, when Rubillar’s manager accused the fight’s judges of robbing his pupil from a win, going on to offer Arce 100,000 dollars for a rematch, which would be held in the Philippines. It should be noted, however, that most ringside observers felt Arce won.Arce moved on to defend his title once again on December 18, defeating Juan Centeno by a third-round TKO.
