By Rick Reeno - Later tonight at the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa in Atlantic City, two of the best super featherweights in the world will meet in a potential fight of the year candidate. WBO super featherweight champ Joan Guzman (27-0, 17 KOs), from the Dominican Republic, will defend his crown against the heavy-handed Humberto Soto (43-5-2, 27 KOs), from Tijuana, Mexico.
Neither of them have been able to land big money fights with any of the top names like Manny Pacquiao, Juan Manuel Marquez, Marco Antonio Barrera or Erik Morales. They have no choice but to fight each other. Soto, riding a 20-fight, five-year, undefeated streak, has been trying to put himself in position for a big payday for the last few years. Guzman has been slowly building a following with every single win. A win over Soto will put him over the top and do wonders for his career. [details]
