    Soto hasn't looked too good lately so I'm expecting Urbano to win but it should be a war regardless. Will probably be FOTY material.

    I see Soto out boxing him, or stopping him in late rounds

    Glad Soto is finally taking on a dangerous 135 pounder, although he tried to avoid it apparently. Soto by late stoppage or wide UD, although I haven't seen much of Antillon. I know he's not a big name but a world title unification between Soto and Marquez in Mexico would be something I'd be interested in. Marquez doesen't fight too many technically sound orthadox boxers these days.

    I also have Soto (by decision), but I'm not sure at all. Antillon looks really strong, so if Soto has faded by 5% from the last time I saw him, he'll lose.
    Absolutely FOTY material... but that's what I said about Abraham vs. Froch. And Martinez vs. Williams.

    Soto by competitive but clear UD. Antillon is a live dog in this one.

    I think Soto has not really made some noise when he moved up to lightweight, Antillon could be a tough test for him. This match up would be interesting to see, win could go either fighter.

    I fancy a upset here, good to see Soto in a testing fight at LW.

    Soto's boyfriend Azteca will be here to say even Jesus duck him. but he is a good fighter. i think he will win this via decision.

    Antillion for me by close decision.

    I'm actually surprised so many are picking Soto. He really hasn't looked good lately, and I think he's getting a bit shop-worn. Antillon is the younger and hungrier fighter, and I think he's going to really push Soto and maybe even make Soto quit on his stool. I can, however, see Soto catching Urbano with some uppercuts and I know that punch was deadly against Urbano when Acosta landed it.

    I think I want to bet on Antillon, but his fight with Acosta really exposed him for what he is.

    Soto if it goes the distance, you pick 'em if it gets stopped inside six, I think. The longer it goes, the better it will be for Soto, I'm thinking.

    Acosta is a very good fighter though and it just came too early for Antillion and it was very close on the cards.

    I understand that Acosta is a very good fighter, but Antillon could not keep up with him. Soto has been using a lot of movement lately, albeit it against poor opposition. Antillon is a straight ahead fighter with heavy hands and it could spell bad news for him in a boxing sort of match.
