    Could this explain why Soto-Karass isn't so succesful???

    As I was walking to the bathroom to take a piss I immediately thought of Jesus Soto-Karass (no **** whatsoever) . His trainer is Javier Capetillo (though not for his last fight due to the suspension), Margaritos trainer. It is a pretty well know fact that Margarito and Soto-Karass basically share training camps as they both spar and train together. In a way it could be said Soto-Karass has the same style as Margarito. If you have seen him fight you know hes an all-out fighter. A fighters fighter. He doesn't pack much power but he is sure to be on top of you. What I was thinking is could it be that Soto-Karass is just as good as Margarito, but decided not to use Capitellos 'plaster' wraps??? Just imagine Soto-Karass' last fight with Carson Jones, if he would of had a loaded wrap he would of taken out Jones late in the fight Margarito-style. Now look at Margarito-Mosley. I believe that would of been the way Mosley-Soto-Karass would of played out. An average fighter with alot of heart just not good enough to beat a good fighter. So could it be that Margarito was an average fighter at best with a really disgusting disadvantage??? No flames on anybody, just something I thought about.

      Nah, Soto-Karass just has a crazy workrate. He dropped the guy he fought last twice.
      He's a volume puncher. Hell he almost broke compubox records in a 10 round fight for the compubox record for 12.
      He will never be great but his game has always been his tremendous volume of punches thrown.

      That's how he gets his wins anyways. He's not the type of guy who would ever lay anyone out in 1, at least not anyone good.

        Thats my point. Imagine that high workrate with loaded gloves. Don't you think his opponents would of budged just like Margaritos opponents do???

            Soto-Karass doesn't throw the variety of effective shots Margs does.
            And I don't think he hits as hard anyways.

              StreetFighter character. His specialty was really long arms and legs.

                  A club fighter named Hicklet Lau recently said that on *******. He had only been stopped three times, once by Joel Julio in 4, once by Cintron in 9, and then in 2 by Soto-Karass in his last fight. He said it was ironic, though he may be reaching like Dhalsim, as another poster said.

                    I am not giving you the dumb, thoughtless answer you want.
                    Because he simply doesnt hit as hard.
