Panamanian pugilist Rafael “El Torito” Concepcion should have known his fight against Mexican fighter Javier “Travieso” Arce would be an uphill battle because there’s no way in hell you’re going to stop a Mexicano from tapping into his inner grito during a fight on the eve of Mexican Independence Day. And that’s exactly what Arce did between the 7th and 9th rounds. Concepcion turned on the burners and managed to connect during the beginning rounds, but later grew tired and let a victory slip away against a much tougher fighter. Arce claimed victory when Concepcion threw in the towel in the tenth and improved his record to 50-4-1. And he definitely has some points for awesomeness for this little stunt he pulled earlier last year.
