    Not seem much about this fight yet. Soto finally in a meaningful fight again against a very dangerous opponent. I like La Zorrita a lot but he had problems with Antillon, and Matthysse is bigger, stronger, more skilled and hits harder than him. I'm still expecting it to be a great fight though.

    How do you see this one going :smoke

    Soto is one of the most underrated fighters on this forum aside from the trolls. I think if he can take the punch, he will win a decision.

    I love watching him fight, great skills. I think Matthysse might be too strong for him at 140 and wear him down late in thhe fight. Should be a war :yep

    I might be in the minority, but I think Matthysse will do a number on Soto.

    I'll go with this. In my book Matthysse beat both Alexander and Judah, a real talent in boxing.

  8. Soto is a good fighter. Great technical skills, but I think Matthysse will be too strong.

    This. Soto always comes to fight and has a well-rounded game. But he is facing a bigger stronger guy who is going to press the action.

    I will be rooting for Soto, but would put my money on Matthysse. This will be an entertaining fight.

    I think Matthysse's gonna annihilate him, Soto has been facing **** competition for too long and it's gonna be his downfall.

    1 page? Forget you Mayweather/Pacquiao fetishists. This fight is going to be wicked awesome.

    Soto by UD, But seriously "Zoririta" has Zero "Pop" @ 140lbs.
    (IMO)

    Mathysse massively over rated for feasting on equally Over rated Alexander, and going to to toe with Judah... he is a good fighter but not enough to have soto as a massive under dog.

    This is a 50/50 match at it's best, I see no under dog here and don't have mathysse as the guaranteed victor either.

    I'll take Soto by UD.... I don't see Mathysse getting TKO'd and Soto is gonna have to outbox mathysse, toe to toe... so I think there should be fireworks..

    So tight..

    Mathysse soto

    Soto by Robbery. ;)

    I think, Matthysse is to strong and powerful for Soto, who was in trouble against Antillon. One of the most overrated fighter in modern boxing.
