That doesnt matter. Peterson has a fight to take place on the same day or two weeks apart. The winners will fight each other.

I'm glad you're excited, but there's no way you'd be able to convince me otherwise. Soto is plodding and Barrera is so pudge and washed up its not even funny.

I'm expecting a lopsided Soto victory. Good name for his resume but it'd be nice to see him fight someone with a pulse.

Yes - the fight should be at 135 since it should be for Soto's title.

[any craic lad?]

WAR ZORRITA he has to fight winner of Peterson - Rios
