Omar Soto has arrived in Mexico, motivated to take the WBC junior flyweight crown of Edgar Sosa and bring it back to Puerto Rico. Soto challenges Sosa for the title on September 15. He is listed as a serious underdog. That hasn't broken his motivation to win.
"This is the second time that I've come to this country filled with good boxers. Previously I fought in Cancun. I worked hard in the gym with various styles. The fight will be difficult, but I have come to win the title. Since the start, I've said that I will leave with the win," Soto told ESTO.
Soto knows the Mexican fans will be looking for a war and he is prepared to give them that war.
"It is going to be a magnificent day for the Mexicans as they celebrate their independence. I will give an excellent battle. I do not have a favorite punch, I'll be throwing shots from all the angles. I know the people will be on the side of Sosa but the ring it will only be him and me. Through some of the videos I saw of Edgar, he does have defects and I will try to take advantage of that but every Mexican fighters is very battle tested," Soto said.
