¿Who's really the champ?
Scumbag Sulaiman came out a while ago with one of his scumbag inventions & said that Valero was in some crazy all of a sudden **** called "CHAMPION IN RECESS"..¿What the hell that means? ¿Who knows?..¿Is the title vacant?..¿Who knows? If anything this would be Soto's 2nd title(his first was a meaningless cardboard title called "INTERIM" which doesn't really mean **** except that the sanctioning body's get a fee every time the person fight's or defends this meaningless title)...If anything, being that Anthony Peterson is the #1 contender should have gotten the chance to fight for this title, not these 2 bums...Hopefully Peterson will be Soto's first defense(If Soto is really the champ!)..Let's see what Valero has to say about this..Comment

Soto beat his ass clearly. Larry Merchant needs to get better freaking glasses because his scorecard was a bunch of crap. Too bad Soto ***** slapped Diaz in round number 12 and ****ed up their hype job.Comment

Valero is vacating to move up to 140 anyway. I would have preferred a better opponent for Soto though. I mean he beat Lorenzo for the 130 lb. belt and now Diaz for the 135 lb. belt. Two bums.Comment

What the hell fight were you guys watching?? I saw an out of sorts Humberto Soto for the second time in a row struggle to deal with a basic come forward fighter. He did better against Chavez than he did tonight. Soto has all the skills to be a top lightweight but it seems he likes to make it as hard as possible for himself. I had Soto winning the fight but only because of the two 10-8 rounds, not because he outworked Diaz. Soto looked at times to be confused and a little overwhelmed by Diaz, he landed the better shots but was back pedaling and taking alot himself.Comment
