    Only thing Sasaki is good with is coming in with his head. Soto should watch out for it, Senchenko's eyebrows were mess at the end of the fight.

      alot of Asian fighters are being taught to fight "dirty" so that they can cheat their way to a victory.

      Rodel Mayol intentionally headbutted Edgar Sosa, and later won.

      Pac intentionally headbutted Marquez in the rematch and caused the cut. YOu could see the HBO replay, and see that Pac smiled as soon as he had headbutted Marquez, cause it was an intentional foul, that Pac should have had a point deduction.

          He's been wanting to move up to 140lbs since last year, cause he wants to be the 1st Mexican to win a 4th divisional world title.

          and it looks like Barrera wants to fight Soto's cousin-DeMarco for Soto's soon-to-be vacated 135lbs belt.

          Funny thing, is that last year, Barrera was giving a shot at Soto's WBC title, so that MAB can try to be the 1st Mexican to with a 4th title, but MAB declined to fight Soto.

          Same thing with Morales.
          Morales also turned down a shot at Soto.

          its cause they all know that Soto has a very vicious left hook and they're scared.

            Yea, I agree with your points. Barrera said in an interview back in 2009 that he thinks Humberto Soto "is really strong and popular now." He was complimenting Humberto Soto a lot. And Manny Pacquiao was still climbing the weight classes to Welterweight. No doubt Morales and Barrera avoided Soto because they recognized him as strong and very capable boxer. And I think they made a decision not to fight him because losing to him won't do their careers any favor.

            To the Rocky Juarez that I wrote yesterday. Humberto Soto never disrespected Barrera. Rocky Juarez on the other hand disrespected Barrera calling him old and on a decline. So, Barrera chose Juarez instead of Soto. Barrera's reason to take on Juarez was personal rather than a business decision.

              Juarez made those statements when Barrera's people had already thought about fighting Juarez. They were already in the works in making that fight.
              MAB made sure to stay away from Soto after seeing how brutal Soto was in 2006.

              Last year, in 2010, Barrera was given a shot at Soto's title, and MAB turned it down, just like Morales turned it down.
              Morales , right now, would rather fight Pac, Maidana, but NOT against Soto, cause he knows Soto is a smart puncher.

              It all comes down to Fear.
              They all fear Soto's power.
              Rios is the only one that doesnt fear Soto, cause he cant see that Soto is strong, cause Rios is young and inexperienced and doesnt know what he's getting himself into.

                really want soto to face rios before moving up, i think he's capable of handing rios his first loss...we'll see how he does against antillon first. maidana/soto is a good matchup, morales is old, only reason he looked good is cause maidana kind of sucks.

                  same reason jmm wanted the fight, there's ppv money in a fight against morales

                    yeah soto is kind of a big risk no reward type of guy, he's also not a big draw on his own, not even in mexico because of the defensive style he uses
                    soto really should try to get a big fight while he's still around his prime, imo if he schooled antillon like that he can do the same to rios

                      It was the other way around.
                      It was Peterson that ducked Soto.

                      Its been more than 9 months since Peterson last fought, and no one hears Peterson say that he "wants to fight for Soto's title" , or do you?
