Back for the first time since last December's big knockout loss to Nonito Donaire, former four division world champion Jorge “Travieso” Arce (61-7-2, 46 KOs) started his campaign in the featherweight division with an eight round knockout over late replacement Jose Carmona (22-4, 12 KOs) at the Domo de San Luis Potosí in San Luis Potosí, Mexico. Carmona tried hard, but Arce stepped on the gas as the fight played out and then put his punches together to put Carmona away in the eight.
