    The lightweight division needs some interesting matchups to highlight itself. How about a fight between Michael Katsidis and Humberto Soto. Who takes this? Please vote on the poll :thumbsup

    Should be Soto, in a fight that will be turned into a brawl.

    im an aussie so would love Katsidid to take it but I can see Soto giving Michael some lazer surgery on this one and the fight being stopped on cuts at least

    I was kind of giving the edge to Katsidis since he's a natural lightweight compared to Soto who recently moved up.

    Well Soto is the much better fighter and should win, however Soto getting muscled at times against Diaz made me think???? Could he handle Katsidis strength? Id say probably but that could be a factor in Katsidis favor.

    This has to be one of the better matchups at lightweight, and an exciting one I think.

    I'd lean towards Katsidis. Soto really doesn't look cut out for lightweight to me.

    Soto if he boxes...if it turns into a scrap I'd probably sway towards Katsidis.

    Soto has a chin though and much more power than any fighter Katsidas has faced.

    Soto TKO by cuts in the 10th

    Katsidis has too much at 135.

    I see Soto doing some damage, almost getting stopped but prevailing in the end via Katsidis' cuts.

    Soto. His boxing abililty is underated and has a granite chin. It wont be a pretty fight but my money is on Soto.
