'''Jorge Armando Arce Armenta''' (pronounced "ar-say"; born July 27, 1979 in [[Los Mochis]], [[Sinaloa]], [[Mexico]]) is a [[Mexican people|Mexican]] [[professional boxer]]. Arce is the first ever [[Mexican people|Mexican]] to become a World Champion in four separate weight divisions.<ref>http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/sports_blog/2011/05/jorge-arce-defeats-wilfredo-vazquez-jr-for-wbo-super-bantamweight-title.html</ref> Jorge is the former [[World Boxing Organisation|WBO]] [[List of WBO world champions#Junior flyweight|World Light Flyweight]], [[World Boxing Council|WBC]] [[List of WBC world champions#Light flyweight|World Light Flyweight]], [[Interim championship|Interim]] WBC [[List of WBC world champions#Flyweight|World Flyweight]], Interim [[World Boxing Association|WBA]] [[List of WBA world champions#Super flyweight|World Super Flyweight]], WBO [[List of WBO world champions#Junior bantamweight|World Super Flyweight]], and is the current WBO [[List of WBO world champions#Super bantamweight|World Super Bantamweight]] Champion.<ref>http://boxrec.com/media/index.php/Jorge_Arce</ref> Arce remains a favorite fighter among many boxing fans and is also the older brother of title contender [[Francisco Arce Armenta]].<ref>http://boxrec.com/media/index.php/Francisco_Arce</ref>
Arce's trademark ring entrance features him wearing a black [[cowboy hat]] (thus earning him the nickname "The Mexican Cowboy") and sucking a cherry [[lollipop]].
==Professional career==
===Early years at Light Flyweight===
Arce turned pro at the age of 16, winning his first four fights. He lost to future champion Omar Romero and drew with Gabriel Munoz in back-to-back fights in the summer of 1996, but then won 10 straight bouts and a pair of regional belts before losing on points to veteran (and future [[International Boxing Federation|IBF]] light flyweight champion) [[Jose Victor Burgos]] on December 12, 1997.
He recovered from that setback with four straight wins, earning his first world title shot on December 4, 1998 against Juan Domingo Córdoba for the [[WBO]] light-flyweight title. Arce won the fight and became a world champion at the age of 19.
After making one successful defense of his title, Arce drew a big-money fight in [[Tijuana]] against three-time former champion [[Michael Carbajal]] on July 31, 1999. Arce was ahead on all three judges' scorecards after 10 rounds, but in the 11th, the veteran Carbajal connected with a stunning right hand and captured the crown via a technical knockout, as Arce was unable to continue.
After a four-month layoff, Arce returned to the ring and won a WBO regional belt as he scored 7 consecutive wins while working his way back up the rankings for another title shot. That came on October 20, 2001, when he defeated [[Juanito Rubillar]] for the interim [[World Boxing Council|WBC]] version of the light flyweight title. Nine months later, he beat [[Yo-Sam Choi]], the reigning champion who had been out with an injury, to take full distinction. He held the title until the summer of 2005 before relinquishing it to move up in weight. In his first defense, he defeated Augustin Lara. In 2003, he successfully defended his title three times against Ernesto Castro, Lee Marvin Sandoval, and [[Melchor Cob Castro]].
Towards the end of 2003, he participated in the [[Televisa]] version of [[Big Brother television program|Big Brother]], the Big Brother V.I.P. show that put celebrities together. He arrived in third place, then went training for his next defense, against former world champion Joma Gamboa on January 10 of the following year. Arce invited his ''Big Brother'' celebrity friends to the fight with Gamboa, his first fight of 2004, which he won by a second round knockout. But during and after the fight, chaos ensued. One of his friends, actress Arleth Gonzalez, was kicked off her chair by another person. And [[Verónica Castro]] was pursued by the press when she was trying to leave the fight site, taking her more than two hours to get to the site's parking lot.
On April 24, 2004, Arce successfully defended his title in a rematch against former champ [[Melchor Cob Castro]] in [[Tuxtla Gutiérrez]], [[Chiapas]]. Arce had beaten Castro in May 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 controversial, 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 fight caused some controversy afterwards, when Rubillar's manager accused the fight's judges of robbing his fighter, going on to offer Arce 100,000 [[US dollar|dollars]] for a rematch, which would be held in the [[Philippines]].
Arce moved on to defend his title for a seventh time on December 18, defeating Juan Centeno by a third-round TKO. He then decided to try his luck in the flyweight (112-pound) weight division.
===Flyweight===
On March 19, 2005, Arce stopped [[Hussein Hussein]] in the 10th round of a fight for the right to challenge [[Pongsaklek Wonjongkam]] for his [[World Boxing Council|WBC]] flyweight title. He later relinquished his light-flyweight crown, and was matched by the WBC with Angel Priolo on July 30 for their interim title after Wonjongkam suffered an injury. Arce scored a third-round TKO win in the fight, held in [[La Paz, Mexico]].
While waiting to fight Wongjongkam, Arce stayed busy by rematching Hussein on October 8 in [[Las Vegas, Nevada|Las Vegas]]. He retained his WBC interim title with a second-round knockout.
On December 16, 2005, Arce defeated former two time champion [[Adonis Rivas]] by 10th round tko. In his next bout, Arce defeated Rivas in a rematch.
On April 8, 2006, Arce took on the well regarded, former [[World Boxing Association|WBA]] world Strawweight and Light-Flyweight champion [[Rosendo Alvarez]] of [[Nicaragua]], knocking Alvarez out in the sixth round. It was the 4th successful defense of his interim flyweight title.
===Super Flyweight===
On September 23, 2006, he moved up to the super-flyweight division where he defeated former light flyweight champion [[Masibulele Makepula|Masibulele "Hawk" Makepula]] by fourth round knockout (which, according to the [[HBO]] commentators, he had predicted earlier). On January 27, 2007, he defeated Argentinian Julio Ler in a 12-round decision, thus earning the WBC #1 super-flyweight ranking.
On April 14, 2007, he lost a 12-round unanimous decision to WBC super flyweight champion [[Cristian Mijares]] in San Antonio, Texas. Mijares won the fight by a wide margin, with the official judges scoring the match 119-109, 118-110, 117-111, all in favor of Mijares.
Arce rebounded from the loss by defeating future champion [[Tomás Rojas]] by 6th round technical knockout. On December 1, 2007, Arce defeated former flyweight champion [[Medgoen Singsurat]] by technical knockout in the first round.
On May 17, 2008, in a very close fight, Arce (49-4-1, 37 KOs) edged Devid Lookmahanak of [[Thailand]] (18-2, 9 KOs) with a majority decision in the main event at the Plaza Monumental Aguascalientes in [[Aguascalientes, Aguascalientes|Aguascalientes]], Mexico. With a sold-out crowd of 18,000 fans cheering him on, Arce had to dig deep and work hard to pull past the once-beaten Lookmahanak, who turned out to be a very game southpaw and rarely took a step back. The difference in the fight, which also gave Arce the win, was a knockdown in the seventh round. The scores were 115-113, 115-114 and 114-114. Without the extra point for the knockdown, the fight would have been scored a draw. The bout was an eliminator for a shot at the [[World Boxing Council|WBC]] super flyweight title. Arce moves on to a rematch with [[Cristian Mijares]], who earlier captured the WBA's version of the title with a points win over [[Alexander Munoz]].
On September 15, 2008, Arce won the WBA interim super flyweight title from holder [[Rafael Concepción]].
Arce blasted former champion [[Isidro García]], on November 1, 2008, via (48 seconds of the) 4th round [[technical knockout]] for a super flyweight belt. He improved to 51-4-1, with 38 wins inside the distance, while Garcia, who has lost 3 of his last 4 fights, was down to 25-6-2.<ref>[http://afp.google.com/article/ALeqM5iyNKRj0rl7i0WiHXGTUbhLR95aSg afp.google.com, Donaire stops Mthalane to keep IBF flyweight title]</ref>
On February 7, 2009, Arce was defeated by undisputed super flyweight champion [[Vic Darchinyan]].
Arce fought [[Simphiwe Nongqayi]] on September 15, 2009 for the IBF super flyweight title which was recently vacated by Darchinyan. However, he ended losing by unanimous decision.
Arce defeated Indonesian Angky Angkota on January 30, 2010, winning the vacant WBO junior bantamweight title.<ref>http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/boxing/story/1455526.html</ref> Prior to the bout, Arce stated that he would retire from boxing if he woild have lost.
===Bantamweight===
On April 24, 2010, Arce jumped to the bantamweight division to fight fellow Mexican Cecilio Santos (24-13-3; 14 KO) at the Centro de Usos Multiples in [[Ciudad Obregon]], [[Sonora, Mexico|Sonora]], Mexico. Arce defeated his opponent by KO in the 7th round, improving his record to 54-6-1. This was not his first fight as a bantamweight: he already fought once in the weight class in 2007.
Arce was scheduled to fight [[Eric Morel]] (42-2; 21 KO) of [[Puerto Rico]] on June 26, 2010 at the Alamodome in [[San Antonio, Texas|San Antonio]], [[Texas]], United States with the interim WBO bantamweight title at stake. The Los Mochis native withdrew from the fight a few weeks in advance due to a cut he received while in training.
In his next fight, on July 31, 2010, Arce took on fellow Mexican and former champion [[Martín Castillo|Martín "El Gallo" Castillo]] at the Palenque de la Feria in Tepic, Nayarit, Mexico. The Los Mochis native won the bout by KO in the first round.
===Super Bantamweight===
On May 7, 2011<ref>http://www.primerahora.com/jorgetraviesoarcenoletemenialdemonio-502066.html</ref>He beat a then undefeated [[World Boxing Organisation|WBO]] [[Super Bantamweight]] champion, [[Wilfredo Vazquez, Jr.]] of Puerto Rico.<ref>http://espndeportes.espn.go.com/news/story?id=1290073&s=box&type=column</ref>

'''Jorge Armando Arce Armenta''' (pronounced "ar-say"; born July 27, 1979 in [[Los Mochis]], [[Sinaloa]], [[Mexico]]) is a [[Mexican people|Mexican]] [[professional boxer]]. Arce is the former [[World Boxing Organisation|WBO]] [[List of WBO world champions#Junior flyweight|World Light Flyweight]], [[World Boxing Council|WBC]] [[List of WBC world champions#Light flyweight|World Light Flyweight]], [[Interim championship|Interim]] WBC [[List of WBC world champions#Flyweight|World Flyweight]], Interim [[World Boxing Association|WBA]] [[List of WBA world champions#Super flyweight|World Super Flyweight]], WBO [[List of WBO world champions#Junior bantamweight|World Super Flyweight]], and is the current WBO [[List of WBO world champions#Super bantamweight|World Super Bantamweight]] Champion.<ref>http://boxrec.com/media/index.php/Jorge_Arce</ref> Arce remains a favorite fighter among many boxing fans and is also the older brother of title contender [[Francisco Arce Armenta]].<ref>http://boxrec.com/media/index.php/Francisco_Arce</ref>
Arce's trademark ring entrance features him wearing a black [[cowboy hat]] (thus earning him the nickname "The Mexican Cowboy") and sucking a cherry [[lollipop]].
==Professional career==
===Early years at Light Flyweight===
Arce turned pro at the age of 16, winning his first four fights. He lost to future champion Omar Romero and drew with Gabriel Munoz in back-to-back fights in the summer of 1996, but then won 10 straight bouts and a pair of regional belts before losing on points to veteran (and future [[International Boxing Federation|IBF]] light flyweight champion) [[Jose Victor Burgos]] on December 12, 1997.
He recovered from that setback with four straight wins, earning his first world title shot on December 4, 1998 against Juan Domingo Córdoba for the [[WBO]] light-flyweight title. Arce won the fight and became a world champion at the age of 19.
After making one successful defense of his title, Arce drew a big-money fight in [[Tijuana]] against three-time former champion [[Michael Carbajal]] on July 31, 1999. Arce was ahead on all three judges' scorecards after 10 rounds, but in the 11th, the veteran Carbajal connected with a stunning right hand and captured the crown via a technical knockout, as Arce was unable to continue.
After a four-month layoff, Arce returned to the ring and won a WBO regional belt as he scored 7 consecutive wins while working his way back up the rankings for another title shot. That came on October 20, 2001, when he defeated [[Juanito Rubillar]] for the interim [[World Boxing Council|WBC]] version of the light flyweight title. Nine months later, he beat [[Yo-Sam Choi]], the reigning champion who had been out with an injury, to take full distinction. He held the title until the summer of 2005 before relinquishing it to move up in weight. In his first defense, he defeated Augustin Lara. In 2003, he successfully defended his title three times against Ernesto Castro, Lee Marvin Sandoval, and [[Melchor Cob Castro]].
Towards the end of 2003, he participated in the [[Televisa]] version of [[Big Brother television program|Big Brother]], the Big Brother V.I.P. show that put celebrities together. He arrived in third place, then went training for his next defense, against former world champion Joma Gamboa on January 10 of the following year. Arce invited his ''Big Brother'' celebrity friends to the fight with Gamboa, his first fight of 2004, which he won by a second round knockout. But during and after the fight, chaos ensued. One of his friends, actress Arleth Gonzalez, was kicked off her chair by another person. And [[Verónica Castro]] was pursued by the press when she was trying to leave the fight site, taking her more than two hours to get to the site's parking lot.
On April 24, 2004, Arce successfully defended his title in a rematch against former champ [[Melchor Cob Castro]] in [[Tuxtla Gutiérrez]], [[Chiapas]]. Arce had beaten Castro in May 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 controversial, 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 fight caused some controversy afterwards, when Rubillar's manager accused the fight's judges of robbing his fighter, going on to offer Arce 100,000 [[US dollar|dollars]] for a rematch, which would be held in the [[Philippines]].
Arce moved on to defend his title for a seventh time on December 18, defeating Juan Centeno by a third-round TKO. He then decided to try his luck in the flyweight (112-pound) weight division.
===Flyweight===
On March 19, 2005, Arce stopped [[Hussein Hussein]] in the 10th round of a fight for the right to challenge [[Pongsaklek Wonjongkam]] for his [[World Boxing Council|WBC]] flyweight title. He later relinquished his light-flyweight crown, and was matched by the WBC with Angel Priolo on July 30 for their interim title after Wonjongkam suffered an injury. Arce scored a third-round TKO win in the fight, held in [[La Paz, Mexico]].
While waiting to fight Wongjongkam, Arce stayed busy by rematching Hussein on October 8 in [[Las Vegas, Nevada|Las Vegas]]. He retained his WBC interim title with a second-round knockout.
On December 16, 2005, Arce defeated former two time champion [[Adonis Rivas]] by 10th round tko. In his next bout, Arce defeated Rivas in a rematch.
On April 8, 2006, Arce took on the well regarded, former [[World Boxing Association|WBA]] world Strawweight and Light-Flyweight champion [[Rosendo Alvarez]] of [[Nicaragua]], knocking Alvarez out in the sixth round. It was the 4th successful defense of his interim flyweight title.
===Super Flyweight===
On September 23, 2006, he moved up to the super-flyweight division where he defeated former light flyweight champion [[Masibulele Makepula|Masibulele "Hawk" Makepula]] by fourth round knockout (which, according to the [[HBO]] commentators, he had predicted earlier). On January 27, 2007, he defeated Argentinian Julio Ler in a 12-round decision, thus earning the WBC #1 super-flyweight ranking.
On April 14, 2007, he lost a 12-round unanimous decision to WBC super flyweight champion [[Cristian Mijares]] in San Antonio, Texas. Mijares won the fight by a wide margin, with the official judges scoring the match 119-109, 118-110, 117-111, all in favor of Mijares.
Arce rebounded from the loss by defeating future champion [[Tomás Rojas]] by 6th round technical knockout. On December 1, 2007, Arce defeated former flyweight champion [[Medgoen Singsurat]] by technical knockout in the first round.
On May 17, 2008, in a very close fight, Arce (49-4-1, 37 KOs) edged Devid Lookmahanak of [[Thailand]] (18-2, 9 KOs) with a majority decision in the main event at the Plaza Monumental Aguascalientes in [[Aguascalientes, Aguascalientes|Aguascalientes]], Mexico. With a sold-out crowd of 18,000 fans cheering him on, Arce had to dig deep and work hard to pull past the once-beaten Lookmahanak, who turned out to be a very game southpaw and rarely took a step back. The difference in the fight, which also gave Arce the win, was a knockdown in the seventh round. The scores were 115-113, 115-114 and 114-114. Without the extra point for the knockdown, the fight would have been scored a draw. The bout was an eliminator for a shot at the [[World Boxing Council|WBC]] super flyweight title. Arce moves on to a rematch with [[Cristian Mijares]], who earlier captured the WBA's version of the title with a points win over [[Alexander Munoz]].
On September 15, 2008, Arce won the WBA interim super flyweight title from holder [[Rafael Concepción]].
Arce blasted former champion [[Isidro García]], on November 1, 2008, via (48 seconds of the) 4th round [[technical knockout]] for a super flyweight belt. He improved to 51-4-1, with 38 wins inside the distance, while Garcia, who has lost 3 of his last 4 fights, was down to 25-6-2.<ref>[http://afp.google.com/article/ALeqM5iyNKRj0rl7i0WiHXGTUbhLR95aSg afp.google.com, Donaire stops Mthalane to keep IBF flyweight title]</ref>
On February 7, 2009, Arce was defeated by undisputed super flyweight champion [[Vic Darchinyan]].
Arce fought [[Simphiwe Nongqayi]] on September 15, 2009 for the IBF super flyweight title which was recently vacated by Darchinyan. However, he ended losing by unanimous decision.
Arce defeated Indonesian Angky Angkota on January 30, 2010, winning the vacant WBO junior bantamweight title.<ref>http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/boxing/story/1455526.html</ref> Prior to the bout, Arce stated that he would retire from boxing if he woild have lost.
===Bantamweight===
On April 24, 2010, Arce jumped to the bantamweight division to fight fellow Mexican Cecilio Santos (24-13-3; 14 KO) at the Centro de Usos Multiples in [[Ciudad Obregon]], [[Sonora, Mexico|Sonora]], Mexico. Arce defeated his opponent by KO in the 7th round, improving his record to 54-6-1. This was not his first fight as a bantamweight: he already fought once in the weight class in 2007.
Arce was scheduled to fight [[Eric Morel]] (42-2; 21 KO) of [[Puerto Rico]] on June 26, 2010 at the Alamodome in [[San Antonio, Texas|San Antonio]], [[Texas]], United States with the interim WBO bantamweight title at stake. The Los Mochis native withdrew from the fight a few weeks in advance due to a cut he received while in training.
In his next fight, on July 31, 2010, Arce took on fellow Mexican and former champion [[Martín Castillo|Martín "El Gallo" Castillo]] at the Palenque de la Feria in Tepic, Nayarit, Mexico. The Los Mochis native won the bout by KO in the first round.
===Super Bantamweight===
On May 7, 2011<ref>http://www.primerahora.com/jorgetraviesoarcenoletemenialdemonio-502066.html</ref>He beat a then undefeated [[World Boxing Organisation|WBO]] [[Super Bantamweight]] champion, [[Wilfredo Vazquez, Jr.]] of Puerto Rico.<ref>http://espndeportes.espn.go.com/news/story?id=1290073&s=box&type=column</ref>
