Arce wins WBO 115 belt


Jorge Arce is a world champion again. In a clash for the vacant WBO super flyweight championship, Arce (53-6-1, 40 KOs) scored a seven round technical decision over Angky Angkota (18-4, 9 KOs) on Saturday night at the Plaza de Toros Arroyo in Mexico City. Ankota spent most the fight pinned in his own corner with Arce getting the better of the exchanges. The bout was stopped after Ankota suffered a cut over his right eye from an accidental headbutt in round seven. The scorecards read 58-56, 60-54, 60-54 for Arce, who is now a four-time world _title_ holder.

Das freut mich, ich sehe Jorege Arce unheimlich gerne, unvergessen sein Walk-In mit dem Motorrad oder hoch zu Pferd, klasse auch der Cowboy-Hut und sein unvermeidbarer Kirschloli.!!

Gute Neuigkeiten!!!! James Kirkland boxt wieder.
The year is still young but the wheels are already rolling for the tentative return of junior middleweight contender James Kirkland. BoxingScene.com was advised by Kirkland's co-manager and personal attorney, Michael Miller, that an August return is very possible. Last September during a federal hearing in Texas, Kirkland was sentenced to a 24 month prison term for illegally purchasing a firearm during the month of April. At the time of the arrest, Kirkland was still on probation for a 2003 armed robbery offense, which prohibits him from purchasing and/or possessing firearms.

When Kirkland was hit with the 24-month sentence, the court shaved off 6 months for time already served. Under the federal guidelines, he was able to shave off an additional 100 days for good behavior.

On June 28, Kirkland will get transfered to a half-way house to finish the remaining six months of the sentence. Kirkland will be allowed to leave the half-way house from 7am to 7pm to train. With prior notice given, Kirkland can leave the half-way house to fight - and that includes taking a fight outisde of Texas.

During his prison stay, Kirkland's weight shot up. At one point he weighed 205-pounds. It took a few months for Kirkland, 25, to get himself back in shape. Miller saw Kirkland around the Thanksgiving holiday and said his fighter was now weighing 174-pounds and his body looked good. Golden Boy Promotions is calling Miller on a regular basis to check on Kirkland's status. They are very eager to bring him back.

"[Kirkland will return] probably in the middle of August. He will take a warm-up fight in August and maybe a bigger fight in October or November," Miller told BoxingScene.com

Pirog stops Mitchell
Usarov-Rahimov steals the show

By Alexey Sukachev at ringside

Middleweight prospect Dmitry Pirog (15-0, 12 KOs) became the first one to stop tough American competitor Eric Mitchell (22-7-1, 11 KOs) inside the scheduled distance. Mitchell gave WBO #2, WBC #4 Pirog fits in the first two rounds but then gradually succumbed to the combinational power and diversity of the Russian contender. The contest was stopped at 1:07 of the fifth round, when Mitchell signalized he was in no condition to continue. Pirog reportedly became the WBO mandatory challenger after this victory.

In what was advertised as the main event of the evening, Uzbek stylist Timur Ibragimov (27-2-1, 15 KOs) acquired a vacant IBA intercontinental heavyweight _title_ with the third-round stoppage of Tanzanian Awadh Tamim (11-2, 6 KOs). Tamim was down three times before the bout was stopped by referee Jon Schorle....
