What were Rocky's promoter thinking???

Take a look at Humberto Soto's boxrec: Humberto Soto

Soto has fought a lot at superfeather and once as a lightweight. No wonder the two fighters look like they were from different weight classes, and Rocky's height didn't help either. It was a total nightmare for Juarez, Soto can box and take his punches.

They also mentioned if Rocky had won that fight, he would've taken Injin Chi and then Juan Manuel Marquez. Big mistake to overlook your opponents. I wonder where does he go from here.

They thought they had a cupcake, like Wlad did with fighting Corrie Sanders. The cupcake turned out to be them.

Plus Juarez already lost to Raheem. Most people who saw it would agree.

Humberto owned Juarez/

I remember the Pac-Ledwaba when Pac came in as late replacment and broke Ledwaba's nose and beat the living shiet out of him.

Yeah, you could tell that dude was too big. I've never seen anyone take a Juarez left hand and be completely unphased by it.

Soto had an Iron Chin

Good point . . . good question.

Juarez has been exposed here. The guy has problem fighting bigger/taller opponents. That could have been his second loss because Raheem beat him only to come out the otherway around officially.

I don't think Rocky has it in him to mixed it up with Injin Chi who fought Eric in a gang**** gangland fashion. What more with JMM.

Juarez was suppose to fight Chi on the card, but Chi injured an ankle while doing roadwork. So this fight was changed to a WBC #1 contender eliminator. Soto was ranked 2nd by the WBC going into the fight, im sure Juarez knew he had a tough opponent, he just couldn't get the job done.

Juarez has been exposed here.

Raheem is the one who exposed Rocky, not Soto. Soto just got the decision (rightfully so) where Raheem lost a hometown decision.

The last fight I saw of Rocky's prior to Raheem was another that was a hometown decision. His fight against Velazquez. It could easily have been a draw, though I had Rocky winning 115-113, but 2 of the scorecards had Rocky dominating, which he never did.

I hope Rocky sees what happened and learns from it. He's still exciting to watch when his game is on.

When Soto was walking to the ring and Jim Lampley mentioned that Soto was raised in a cardboard house, that his father was a bus driver, and that he started fighting to earn enough money to buy a bus, I was thinking that Juarez was in for a tough night.
