Joshua Clottey & Jesus Soto Karass

Sorry about the last sentence it was stupid

 

Soto Karass is pretty much an unknown fighter on here, that's probably why a lot of people aren't replying. I only know about him because I record Telefetura every week. He will continue to be an unknown fighter until he faces a top 10 welter. A pretty interesting matchup would be Luis Collazo vs him. Who would you pick? I would favor Collazo, as long as he's not injured or unmotivated.. too much skill for Soto Karass at the moment and he has a pretty solid chin.

 

I disagree with you about Karass becoming an A- level fighter in the future, or even B+, but I think he'll become a solid B level fighter and the type of guy who could take out a weak titlist that has better boxing skills than him, but is not as durable or tough. The main reason I remember him well is because I've won 3 out of 3 bets with him involved.. he's never let me down as a supporter. At the time of the Ojeda fight he was only a slight favorite and the under was amazingly around +150. The fight on VS late last year made me respect him even more too. That and the Montiel fight were the most brutal fights ever on that channel.

Do you think he will stop his next opponent?

 

Clottey is better than Karass right now.

Karass needs a bit more experience before he could beat Clottey and I suspect in another 2 years or so he could.

Both are solid guys but have the **** fortune of fighting in a deep division.

The best will beat them but anyone else is fair game.

Clottey fought as a superwelter last night. He might consider staying there if he wants a belt.

I like both guys.

 

Soto-Karass would overwhelm Collazo. Collazo is another guy who people seem to overrate considerable based on his performance against Hatton. He was blown out by Mosley, he was life-and-death with an almost shot JA Rivera (who was never more than a B level boxer to begin with, although he was underappreciated), and his next best win was against a former lightweight in his mid-30's whose best win is against Marty Jakubowski. In any case, Soto-Karass's swarming style would cause problems for Collazo, especially considering that he's a true welterweight and that he's willing to take one on the chin to get where he can do damage.

 

Clottey i had high expectations for but he disappointed me in his previous fight with the puerto rican fighter. I did not see him push for the fight.

Soto-Karass will be a hell of a fighter. He is in a dangerous division but i see him fighting for a title in 2 years and probably taking one. He is like AM but he can actually box pretty decent. HE tends to get drawn into brawls though.

 

I am a huge clottey supporter on here. I truly believe he would knock cotto out. His defense is so underrated on here it makes me sick. The man has a natural ability to deflect punches better than most welters. He gets a lot of **** because of people wanting to discredit margo. People need to recognize he was fighting with one hand, and if he had his left (which lets face it, is his best hand) he would have had a complete shutout. Clottey is on a comeback though and eventually people here will recognize.

 

Cmon man, clottey can fight those kinds of lower rate guys on what I like to call 'Cruise Control'. Why try to bust up his hand on an oppenent like that? His boxing ability lets him do this and I see nothing wrong with it.
