Jesus Soto Karass appreciation thread

[The Hammer]

Soto Karass deserves a world title shot.

I'd like to see him fight anyone with a title at 147: Adrien Broner, Devon Alexander, or Timothy Bradley.

Karass did his thing last night he's fought bigger guys before and despite some beatings he's manage to come forward. I was confident before the fight that he could make Berto crack. Great jab work to set up that over right hand it was landing at will and frequently.

I think he'd beat Broner. At least the Broner we saw against Malignaggi.

I thought Berto would pull a come back. But it's nice to see Karass family smile with joy and happiness. Berto has been spoiled and pampered for years undeservedly. So it's a deserving win for Karass.

I feel dumb for not betting on that fight.

It was very touching to see him and his family celebrate. It's been a tough career and he deserves his moment to shine.

Saying that, it was difficult to see Berto crying on Hunter's shoulder. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not a fan of his. But that was a devastating defeat, a career defining one. He probably knows now that he's not going to have the career he thought and he's on the decline.

Boxing is such a cruel, emotional sport. It even makes you feel sorry for guys you spent years waiting to be exposed.

Broner vs. Soto Karass would be an interesting matchup.

Soto Karass is rather like a bigger version of Ponce de Leon, who was robbed against Broner.

Karass deserves the winner of Broner vs Maidana, he will probably get Thurman next though.

[Syf]

He should fight Josecito Lopez....both lost against Maidana, and they are both come forward type of fighters... it would be a war since Rd 1

People underrate Maidana.. but the Lopez and Karass wins are no joke...


I knew from how he accounted for himself against Chino that Karass was a future contender. Lopez vs Karass would be a fine fight. But I favor Lopez and Karass against many welterweights. I really don't rate Broner at all I think the both of them beat him. They also beat Magic Man. Karass could probably beat Ghost. Lopez could probably beat Berto.

I don't feel sorry for Berto. He was a HBO house fighter when Kery Davis (a personal friend of Al Haymon) was there. Berto made MUCH more money during that time than many more deserving boxers will see in their entire careers.
