Who wins: Joan Guzman vs Humberto Soto

Their chins are not important factors in this fight. Guzman proved to have a great chin in the Barrios fight and he doesn't have enough power to knock Soto out. I wouldn't even say that Guzman's power is greater than Bobby Pacquiao's, especially at 130. This fight will be decided by Guzman's ability to maintain control in the ring and stick to a gameplan throughout the entire fight. If he could do it and not get stuck fighting Soto's fight, he should win most of the rounds.

 

I'm not saying Soto is surely gonna win . . . but I'm definitely rooting for him.

Guzman may out punch Soto but he can't out power him.

This is gonna be Guzman by decission or Soto by K.O. or T.K.O. . . and I'm picking the latter. :yep

 

i think guzman is too evasive for him maybe he cant punch hard at this weight but his combo's and defence are what i feel will win him the fight .
soto as badass as he is isnt goign to win this

 

Did Guzman ever get rocked by Barrios or did he just run away from him at all times?

Everybody gets rocked in a boxing match. Larios momentarily stunned Pacquiaol. Judah stunned Floyd.

Obviously, I want a Soto-Pac fight. More fireworks. I think Guzman-JMM would be a good technical fight.

 

this fight is very pivotal to both their careers. the loser of this fight will certainly be seen as over-rated and will lose his standing as a top SF fighter. he will also lose the opportunity for big money fights with pac and maybe even jmm in the future.

 

This one fight will surely last 12 rounds, and will be very close.

If not, it will be Soto by a TKO.

I just don't see Guzman knocking down Soto; it will break one of his 3 Rules in 130: never knock out anyone at 130.:yep

I hope the Guzman that shows up here is like the Guzman who showed up like a madman in his bout against Barrios, and then will trade instantly with Soto. But then, I will favor the more proven Soto in their exchanges.

 

Well i want Soto to win i can see him stopping Guzman late athough i think Guzman will start off fast winning the early rounds until Soto adjusts to him and will land something big that the fight will turn to his favor.

 

imo soto is very underrated on this forum.....soto ud guzman

 

I've seen his fights with Juarez and Pacquiao and I do not think he will beat Guzman, not could he beat Pacman.

 

he fought perfectly in both of those fights. What did you see there that makes you think he would not beat Guzman?

 

Soto is gonna walk through any punch Guzman throws at him.

i pick Soto by late tko or decision.

 

Dont compare Soto to Barrios. completely different fighters. Barrios is just a slugger. Soto is a smart boxer with a hell of a punch. I dont think guzman has ever faced a fighter of this caliber. and its in a weight class too high for guzman. the only way i see him winning is if he hits and runs for 12 rounds making a very boring fight for the fans and wont win him popularity to propel him to further fights. Guzman knows he has to make it exciting and that will be his downfall because Soto will catch him especially with that uppercut.!

I hope those of you who picked Soto are right because I think Pacman will have an easy time with Soto.

Howver I think Guzman is a stylistic problem for Pacman.
