Can't wait to see how this plays out. Orozco will try to bring the ferocity that MAtthyse approached Soto with, but is a little more wide and hunched over in his attack. I do think he has improved, tightened up how he throws his punches which has improved his speed...and I imagine that he will pick up the first couple of rounds. but Soto is a craftsman, he's older but can still make a fighter pay up the middle, especially if they blow their energy.
An ancient Stevie Forbes put on a decent fight against Orozco - i expect that to be the sort of fight we see...except that Soto still has more in the tank than Forbes.
having said all that, this is only a 10 rounder so Soto can't wait around for too long
