I was rooting for SOTO. Damn him.
It pains me to do this, he can't bring his business at jr welter. He is a BUM at this weight div.

well, Soto was the underdog in this fight. Age, power, and weight does not favor Soto but belongs to Matthysse. So a win from Matthysse is expected according to many.

Soto should go back to 135 lbs div. He has no business fighting at Jr Welter.

Soto's problem is with his chin all throughout in his career. Bobpac almost drop him, Antillon also so going to a fight with a power puncher like Matthysse. He needs a superb defense to win but Matthysse landed his bombs on Soto's jaw which ended the fight

Bum and Bummer (Soto and Ortiz).

not really a bum but he just met an offensive fighter with power on both hands

Soto is a lamb for Manny and the late Edwin Valero....thats why the first fight out of TR boom exposed

thats why he is glorified bum the Arum built

Blame Arum while Soto was still in Top Rank they keep on feeding Soto with Bum Opponents.

WHy Soto is fed to bum opponents? Because Arum is afraid that he will be exposed before he fought Manny and Valero eh nung imposible na mangyari.. ala go on your own

I beg to differ, Soto is a typical Mexican Fighter with heart and relentless true grit, he just happened to run into one of the SuperLightweight heavy hitter. Soto for his credit just happened to box when Morales, Barrera and Marquez was taking in all the credits, so I would say he is one notch below those three great Mexican fighters. Seeing some of his fights he's still one of my favorite boxing entertainer, never boring.
