    according to a scene of boxing

    Valero will probably be on the undercard

    i am happy for soto as to finally he'll get his decent pay and feel bad at the same time. He's a huge underdog here, he's getting a lot of L's lately:-(

    Just watch CJ. I would not be surprised if he pulled off the upset.
    I think he has enough skill to box Pac and enough power to keep him honest along with a great chin to take his shots.
    Pac needs to be pushed back in order to be beaten or countered on all the mistakes he makes.
    Soto can push him back with his frame and power and his chin will come into play because if you push Pac back he is gonna swing so your gonna get hit.
    Although when Morales pushed Pac back he didnt throw very much...
    And i really have not seen anyone push Pac back since.
    This has to happen.
    Expect decent PPV figures too.

    Soto does have some stylistic advantages over Pac, I agree.

    He needs to stand tall, jab, move to the left, lean on Pac in the clinches, and he could do this.

    yep, i still think soto is dangerous for pac..not really counting him out, but at least he's way better than valero although i think valero would give more decent figures than this guy

    I'd prefer Valero over Soto, but both fights are good.

    Didn't Soto get his ass kicked by Guzman not too long ago? Soto hasn't beaten a credibly opponent since. Not a bad fight, and should be entertaining. However, it better not be on ppv and I hope Pac takes on the Campbell/Guzman winner if he beats Soto.

    LOL. You called it.

    Much better fight than Valero. Valero had a nice looking record, undefeated all wins by KO...but all boxing fans know Soto is a much better fighter. Soto is a VERY live underdog. I won't be surprised a bit if he wins.

    Yeah, Guzman beat him...but it's totally different styles here. Pacman won't dance around the ring and pot shot like Guzman. Soto actually matches up better with Pacquiao than Guzman.

    It will be PPV though, I'm certain. With Valero in the undercard, it should be ok.
