°SUMMONED BACK TO HELL¡± Jorge Arce v Hussein Hussein.
October 8th, Las Vegas.

Earlier this year, two of the rings little big men went to war. Each fighter giving everything they had. Passion, heart and soul, and while we watched in amazement, Jorge Arce took Hussein Hussein , to hell and back.

The fight was definitely a candidate for fight of the year [up until that time] and like all good fights, people want to see them do it again. This time around, both warriors will be on the undercard of probably the best, most dramatic fight ever . Diego Corrales v Jose Luis Castillo, in a night of rematches Although Hussein [W28 21 kos. L2 D0 ] lost, it was possibly the best performance of guts and heart by an Australian fighter since Jeff Fenech's first fight against The Professor Azumah Nelson in 1991.

The winner of this fight will be destined for a crack at the WBC Champion, Pongsaklek Wonjongkam. Arce [W40 30kos. L3 D0] is the interim champion and he knows how close he is at a shot at the tough southpaw from Thailand.

Hussein has already faced Wonjongkam for his title in 2003 and put up a tremendous fight before being outpointed over the 12 rounds.

In their March 2005 slugfest, Hussein fought most of the fight with a suspected broken jaw, and showed the heart of a lion , throwing punch after punch , trying to stay in the fight. Arce was ragged at times, but in the end , the tough Mexican proved to be too strong and experienced for Hussein.

When I spoke to Hussein, earlier this week, he told me "this time I am going to fight a smarter , better fight. I want to avenge the loss, and really do a number on him". Im not sure if the Mexican devil will allow Hussein to fight a smarter fight. He is a showman and loves to go to war for his fans.

I spoke to Hussein¡¯s trainer, Billy Hussein and he told me "there will be 17,000 mexicans in the arena but that wont worry us. We are going there to win and we have been working on using a good defence and countering Arce with fast, hard shots. Hussy has been sparring the aggressive Jackson Asiku, and also Lovemore Ndou, and he has been going great. We will be ready for anything."
