Comments Thread For: Golden Boy VP: Humberto Soto To Remain on HBO Bill

This would be a great opportunity for another Top Rank fighter at 140. Man, that would be great to see Mikey come out on short notice for this one. Ain't happening though.

Lenny Zappavigna?
Mike Reed?
Jose Ramirez?

Unfortunately for Soto, itll be against a Top Rank fighter on a TR card. Ask Herrera how that worked out for him. Im calling it right now, Soto gonna get robbed.

Lenny Zappavigna?
Mike Reed?
Jose Ramirez?

I think he was alluding to Mikey Garcia.

As for those you mentioned...Zappavinga apparently turned the fight down due to lack of prep time.

Reed is scheduled to fight next weekend on the MSG undercard, so he should be in shape, but not sure he's ready for Soto.

Ramirez-Soto would be a great fight, but Top Rank has big plans for Ramirez...not sure they're going to rush to put Ramirez in a fight against Soto on short notice.

Same for Julian Rodriguez.

Jose Benavidez just fought less than a month ago...not sure if he's a realistic option or not.

It's pretty sad there's no notable opposition available for Soto to face. Whatever happened to Allakhverdiev?

[PETUFF]

All this Mexicans used steroids!! nothing new no more webos !!!

[richardt]

I feel bad for Soto....he put on a perfect performance in his last fight and then gets two super flakes that fall out of the fight for different reasons.

Soto vs crawford makes sence

Golden Boy would be sacrificing one of their fighters in that case. Plus Crawford is not an undercard fighter.

[New England]

It would be awesome if it was Crawford, but that's probably too short notice for that big of a star.

too much money.
