More Bullshit from TOP RANK

Eh fwiw, Soto gets man handled by any of these real lightweights. Soto doesn't even belong in this division. And I think the main set up was supposed to be Soto vs Valero (rip). And that fight was made for Valero by Arum and Top Rank, they were gonna sacrifice Soto for Valero for Edwin's coming out party. They convinced Soto to leave the super featherweight division and everything. But now Soto is sitting by himself, protected. It won't last forever though. Soto can't beat any of the names at lightweight. Nah man, Arum and co-promoters are making too much money from Soto right now. They actually convinced Valero to vacate his belt right after the DeMarco fight to set Soto up for a vacant title at 135 against David Diaz. Valero was going to move up and fight Lamont Peterson for his first fight at 140 on HBO. After the shell of Jesus Chavez pushed Soto around like his son (it looked a lot like Margarito-Garcia), they were not gonna throw in Soto against what was a buzz saw in Valero.

Damn right more BS from TR. They give veteran titles and then when there is hype in the air, they'll make that veteran fight the hype, give him a title and everyone will love him. Gamboa & Lopez are those hypes. They need to fight Celestino!!

Probably not but no shame in that as he really doesn't belong in the division like you said. Wasn't there actually some talk not long ago of Soto moving up again to 140? Yeah I'm just saying he was set up by Top Rank from the start as a lamb for Valero. Now Soto is just sitting in a bad situation for himself since he was never a lightweight to begin with. I can't remember if there were talks about him moving that far up.

Can someone please tell me how Humberto Soto gets to duck peterson IDK how many times, the How Urbano Antillan gets a title shot after gettin streched by Acosta, WTF is the deal here Eh fwiw, Soto gets man handled by any of these real lightweights.

Because they probably talked him into facing Rios on HBO for more money and a shot at the WBA title. Peterson will regret that decision. Rios and Acosta will each make for tougher fights than the 135 pund version of Soto. He should've went for the immediate title shot and bigger name fighter. He definitely regretted it. I should start making prediction videos like Dwyer haha.

i wouldn't be surprised if it had something to do with top rank promoting barrera now. im sure lots of money could be made from a MAB/soto fight in mexico

Boxing is a business. Every decision is made with money in mind. Making good fights for boxing fans is secondary. Maybe some day that'll change. I don`t get it. How can a boxing decision be made with money in mind and the boxing fans buying it without making it a good fight? Do boxing fans buy bad fights? How can a boxing fight earn if nobody buys it?

Only 6 posts and these people call themselves hardcore boxing fans? Most of y'all are just big name dickriders.

i still don't get that shit either-----that's complete crap and arum knows it---he does that shit i think just to spite other promotions---showing other promoters that he can do this shit, and get away with it because of his years in the sport----and they have to suck it up and eat it----

Anthony Peterson would MURDER Soto, Bob Arum knows it but it is a good chance that Arum feels that he can make more money off of Soto right now so he is keeping the title around his waist I guess Soto is a Draw down in Mexico and in California You Right about that part, but still fighters gotta eat, u cant just keep guys on a lease like that cuz u kno your draw would get served
