    My thoughts?

    I saw the fight with Juarez and was impressed. I haven't seen enough of him to make a decent assumption but his height, and his workrate will cause many problems at featherweight.

    He throws about 70+ punches a round, and connects at 50%, which is good especially when He was fighting a fighter the caliber of Juarez.

    Good fighter but the jury's still out on 'em.

      It's funny how everyone said Rocky Juarez was a bum and had no skill, but I think he just made him look bad.

        Humberto Soto has a lot of potential. Sparring with Erik Morales for over a year obviously taught him a lot. Him and his handlers agree.

        Thats very similar the way Jose Luis Castillo was a fulltime sparring partner of JCC at one point.

        I like how he uses the jab, he uses it constantly and thats rare, and his punches also carry decent pop, i think u give him the distance u get hurt.

            Well that was supposed to be an eliminator bought for a fight against Injin Chi.

              Anyone who called Rocky a bum after that fight,was hating on Rocky before the fight.

              If i thought Humberto was impressive though,I would have him in my Av instead of Rocky.I just saw another young prospect get his first loss on SoloBoxeo.Steven Luevano lost to Martin Honorio,do i think Honorio is impressive? No.These were two young fighters who got their loses to some real Vets.I want to point out Soto was at one point looking like he was going to get KO'd,Honorio fought a dirty fight,and tasted the canvas,despite the fact that both these guys were the bigger and more experienced fighters in the ring.

              Last i heard Soto was supposed to fight Jorge Solis again(their first fight stopped early by an accidental heabutt) IMO Solis is a pretty good fighter,If Soto can dominate,then I'll be impressed.
