SecondsOut.com - Multi weight world champion Jorge Arce, 59-6-2- (45), claimed the vacant WBO bantamweight title over Angky Angkota, 25-6-(15), via a clear 12 round decision in Mazatlan, Sinaloa, Mexico on Saturday.

Arce launched into Angkota in round three to hurt him with a barrage of punches but Angkota managed to survive as Arce looked in danger of punching himself to a stand still early.

Angkota fought back and wobbled Arce in round eight but Arce recovered and both fighters went for broke in the last three minutes of the fight. The scores were 118-110, 118-110, 117-111.

Arce is now the first Mexican fighter to win world titles in five weight divisions including one interim title.

In an IBF super flyweight eliminator, former world champ Alberto “Topo” Rosas, 36-6-(27) scored a 12 round majority decision win over Zolani Tete. Rosas took the fight to Tete the entire 12 rounds. Rosas won by scores of 115-112, 115-112 and 113-113.
