Soto vs Acosta on The Pacquiao-Cotto Card?

By Mark Vester

Antonio Lozada, the manager of WBC super featherweight champion Humberto Soto, confirms that a fight has been presented for Soto to face Miguel Acosta on the undercard to Manny Pacquiao-Miguel Cotto on November 14 in Las Vegas. In his last outing, Acosta knocked out highly regarded unbeaten prospect Urbano Antillon in nine rounds.

Soto would have to make the move to lightweight to challenge Acosta for his WBA interim-title. Soto is interested in the fight but Lozada plans to first negotiate all of the details with Top Rank. If they reach a deal, it would crack any plans of a super featherweight unification bout with Robert Guerrero on December 12.
