Review: 2014-03-08, some good exchanges between Jorge Arce and Aldimar Silva Santos but it is not enough to get three stars. Jorge Arce entered this fight with a professional boxing record of 62-7-2 (47 KOs=76%) and he is ranked as the No.13 featherweight in the world, he has won world titles in four different weight classes and this year he will probably try the fifth; last year he fought just once winning against Jose Carmona (=Arce vs Carmona).
His opponent, Aldimar Silva Santos, has an official record of 19-7-0 (10 knockouts) but he should be a very easy opponent for Arce since he lost five of his last seven bouts. Arce vs Silva Santos is the main event of the evening. Watch the video and rate this fight!
