Soto Karass is Out, Melligen in For Gonzalez Bout on 4/10

By Mark Vester

BoxingScene.com has been told welterweight contender Jesus Soto Karass (24-4-3, 16KO) is not going to fight Noberto Gonzalez (18-1, 12KOs) on April 10 in Las Vegas. The card will be televised by Fox Sports as part of the Top Rank Live series. Instead of Soto Karass, I hear Mark Melligen (17-2, 13KOs) is going to see action. Top Rank is trying to put him in place of Soto Karass but Gonzalez has not yet agreed to fighting Melligen.
