Arce and His Oppnent Make Weight

CAMPECHE, CAMPECHE – Hundreds of fans were on-hand for the official weight-in of the big boxing card that will be held here this Saturday night featuring three-time world champion Jorge “Travieso” Arce taking on Adolfo Ramos.

Arce (55-6-2, 42 KOs), of Los Mochis, Sinaloa, Mexico, will headline the card dubbed “La Batalla del año entre Murallas.” He faces Ramos (18-10-1, 10 KOs), of Colombia, in the main event, which will take place at “Estadio 20 de noviembre” here and will be televised by Fox Deportes in the United States.

Both fighters came in at 121.5 pounds today for their 10-round fight.

This will be the fifth fight for Arce this year. In January, he captured the WBO Super flyweight belt in Mexico City by beating Angky Angkota by technical decision. In April, he stopped Cecilio Santos in Ciudad Obregon, Sorona. In July, he destroyed Martin Castillo in Tepic, Nayarit. And in September, he fought former world champion Lorenzo Parra to a draw in Culiacan, Sinaloa.

“It has being a good year for me, and I am looking forward to giving the people of Campeche a great fight. The people here in Campeche have being very nice to me, and I hope that they enjoy this great card,” said Arce.

In the co-main event Ramón “Príncipe” García (15-1-1, 10 KOs), of Ensenada, will defend his WBA 108-pound interim belt against Omar “Pastor” Soto (15-6-1, 6 KOs), of Puerto Rico. Both came in at 107 pounds today.
