    Rocky is a good fighter but he's not good enough to beat somebody like Soto. Soto had the height, the reach, and the chin. The 3 things that bother Rocky the most. A rematch would be pretty much the same thing. The ref was bias of course, as were the judges, but Soto still overcame the odds. Good for him.

          I was so sure the refs were going to use the two rabbit punches as an excuse to tilt for Juarez. So nice to see that at least some judges are not looking out for the interests of the promoters and are judging the fights on the merits. Soto dominated the fight and I thought the rabbit punch calls were BS anyway considering Juarez seemed to be leaning in.

            He definately hit behind the Head and was warned on several occasions. It was largely a factor because Rocky was leaning into Soto's shoulder so often. I still think the Judges were pretty sad. THe scored the fight 1-2 points for Soto, which is a joke. Both of the rounds in which there was a point deduction for Soto, he still won the rounds clearly to make them 9-9.

              if soto beat him like this, imagine what chi would've done to him. chi would go to war with his ass.
              if juarez would've fought chi as it was scheduled i strogly believe that juarez would of taken him to school lets face it soto had a big height advantage, if it wasn't for that i bet juarez would've kicked his ass.(unfair mismatch)

                it was a mismatch. LOL. that's (almost) like Barrera gettin pitted gainst Corrales, LOL! Nonetheless, Sot(hoe's) skills were evident. He jabbed him and hurt Who?arez plenty times wit his hooks and uppacuts.
