According to the scene they are currently working on two dates the 11th and the 25th in Mexico City. I want MAB to win this fight:bbb
Why are they allowing Soto to blatantly duck Peterson? Peterson should've never signed with Top Rank.
You do know that Peterson was supposed to fight Soto for that title instead of Diaz, don't you? Do you also know that Peterson is the mando and was promised he would get the title fight on the undercard of the Cotto fight but Soto fought some scrub in Mexico instead? Now Soto is sidestepping Peterson for a third time.
I'd like to see MAB and JMM win their next fights and then fight each other in a unification match. Not only would it make for a great fight and a interesting back story, but it also would throw a wrench in plans for both G.B. and T.R. and that would be quite satisfying for me in this instance.
Soto isn't ducking anybody. Arum is behind all this... Soto/Barrera is more attractive fight anyways and it's more evenly matched.. PEterson is doing fine. He'll be facing Brandon Rios and that's also alot better than a soto fight.
IT sucks how Soto came down this far. He was once looked upon as a promising fighter, people even labeled him as Pac's Kyrptonite.. Should have just stayed at 126-130 cuz that's where he's at his best. Soto at 135 is a diffferent fighter. IT's like it's not even him.
That's straight bull****. Soto was supposed to fight Peterson on the Cotto undercard and he, not Top Rank, but he himself decided he wanted to fight some scrub instead. That's a blatant duck. Don't defend that nonsense. And since when the hell is fighting Brandon Rios better than a title shot?
Peterson was a mandatory since Nate Campbell had that belt.... lol... Why is he in a rush now~?? lol.....
MAB Vs. Soto would make 10X the amount a Peterson fight would. Not saying it's a better fight, But better for the promoters. (Besides, Marco looked pretty good last fight out.... Why not?)
This will be a good fight but I don't really like it as a Marco fan (and love it as a Humberto fan...) Soto's been boxing and moving a bit more lately - and Barrera showed quite clearly last time out that movement, for him, is out the window.
