By Jake Donovan - Lightweight titlist Humberto Soto preserved one rematch with a win in another, turning back the challenge of Fidel Monterrosa in their return go Saturday evening in Tepic, Nayarit, Mexico.

Scores were 98-92, 100-90 and 100-88 in favor of Soto in their non-title fight, which aired live on Fox Sports Espanol.

There was growing concern going in that Soto could suffer a cut or injury and thus be forced to postpone his spring showdown with Urbano Antillon in a rematch of their 12-round war last December.

Soto put those fears to rest with an intelligent performance, though without sacrificing entertainment value, no easy feat considering their bout last September wasn’t particularly memorable.

Humberto Soto should cancel his fight against Urbano Antillon and fight Brandon Rios instead.

I'm a fan of Antillon, but honestly believe the December fight will be as close as he ever comes to winning a title. I expect Soto to win far more convincingly this time around and to be honest was surprised that the scores were as close as they were in their first fight.
