RSR Boxing Results: Jorge Arce Champ Again
By Geno McGahee
Popular super flyweight, Jorge Arce, 53-6-1, 40 KO’s, dominated and scored a seventh round technical decision over Angky Angkota, 18-4, 9 KO’s, by scores of 60-54 (twice), and 58-56, after Angkota suffered a cut which stopped the fight. Arce picked up the WBO Super Flyweight Title and has brought himself back into the division after a hot and cold run as of late. This victory made Arce a four time champion and with his charisma, we will probably see him involved in a marquee fight in the near future.
In other Saturday action, former WBO Heavyweight Champion, Lamon Brewster, 35-6, 30 KO’s, met the end of the road, being stopped by Robert Helenius, 11-0, 7 KO’s, in eight rounds. Brewster is one of only three men to hold a victory over current Heavyweight Champion, Wladimir Klitschko. He was at his peak when he destroyed Andrew Golota in 53 seconds after his win over Wlad, but the amount of punishment he’s taking over his career and inactivity have cost him and he has now lost four of his last six outings. Helenius may be a fighter to watch in the future heavyweight division. He seems to be on the fast track.
