The always exciting Jorge ‘Travieso’ Arce (58-6-2, 45KO’s) will make history and become the first Mexican to win a World title in five weight divisions should he defeat Indonesian opponent Angky Angkotta (25-5, 14KO’s) in their bout for the vacant WBO bantamweight title in the headliner of a card being held at the Plaza de Toros Rea in Sinaloa, Mexico this Saturday night.

Arce, who vacated his WBO super-bantamweight title to drop down in weight, has already defeated Angkotta once, via a seventh-round technical decision in Jan 2010, after Angkotta suffered a cut to his right eye following a head clash. Arce was outraged when questions were raised over whether he deserved the decision, especially when they came from Angkotta’s camp, and seems ready to make amends.

“The fight went to the cards and I think I won by two points, and he got very upset,” said Arce. “He said he was robbed, and now here’s my opportunity to vindicate myself. He’s been a thorn in my side, and now I am ready to prove beyond doubt who’s best. I wont leave it in the hands of the judges, I will knock him out so that there’s no doubt about my victory this time. ”

Although there was some controversy 32-year-old Arce will be considered the heavy favorite going in, and will see it as a golden opportunity to take another title. Last time out he avenged a loss on his record to Simphiwe Nongqayi with a fourth-round TKO and before that took the undefeated record of Wilfredo Vazquez Jr with a dramatic late stoppage in a very close fight so will be high on confidence right now and it’s hard to see Angkotta walking away victorious.

“It will be five titles in different divisions, I will be the first Mexican and first Latino to achieve that feat. I am prepared to win and I will,” said Arce.
