Thread: Guzman v Soto this weekend!

This fight should be REALLY good! I mean really good!I love Soto but Guzman is dangerous! I really don't know who will win but I think I'll stick with my boy Soto on UD. Has Guzman ever been down?And has anyone seen Guzman train with Floud senior,I've heard he has been working on his powe

I love this fight

I love to watch Guzman fight but I'm wary about being a big fan cause he's got a bit of James Toney in him and I had to deal with that his whole career, the laziness, the gaining all kinds of weight when he's not in training.

Like Soto too, so I'm not gonna be that upset whatever happens.

I've heard Guzman goes up to 170 PLUS in between fights?!WOW! At 31 that must be bad! That and Soto's superb ultra straight,compact punches will hopefully help Zorrita get the title shot he DESERVES!!I think both give Manny and JMM hell.

cool click... its a nice match.

This fight has been under the radar IMO considering the "bigger"fights that have come lately, but I'm practically salivating waiting for this one. I don't have a preference on who wins, but it will be a damn good fight. I'll take Soto by decison, just cause' I'm following Gamo's lead. LOL. Seriously, I don't know who pulls this off so I'll sit on the fence on this one.

CC back bro.

Dam right,,follow the le gamo,he is rarely wrong I really want Soto to win. He beat Juarez ass form pillar to post and was supposed to get a title shot...he STILL hasnt recieved one.It's time for him to get rid of Guzmans 0.

I was just thinking this fight doesn't seem to be getting the attention it deserves.

I love watching Guzman fight too and make him favourite against just about anyone around this weightclass.

Didn't know you were a big Guzman fan Fen?

I like Soto, but honestly feel he doesn't have the technique to land enough clean punches on Guzman. Essentially it's a good matchup between two dark horses of the division... But I wouldn't be surprised if it is a one sided win for Guzman. Would be surprised to see a stoppage, that would be really impressive from Joan.

Ive been a BIG fan of his since I saw him on a Calzaghe undercard 5 or 6 years ago.

As Oumafan was alluding too, he's a frustrating character, should of been involved in much bigger fights by now... still this weekends is a cracker

Thats weird bro,I've always though Soto has excellent technique when throwing,lovely little combination,short crisp,snappy,accurate punches.NO WAY Guzman stops the iron jawed Soto.

Yeah,I COULD NOT believe when I read that Guzman was 31! Where the heck ash he been all this time?Did he turn pro late or something? I feel his lack of power at this weight,I don't think he's scored a single stoppage,could be his downfall v Soto.

I'm going with Soto.

This is a top notch match-up with hardly any Push.Seeing Soto dismantle and out gun Juarez was Very pleasing.This is sure fire great bout and I like Soto over a solid threat Guzman.Joans war with Barrios very Nice but Sotos workrate and Volume of variety punches should take it.

this fight in my eyes is pretty much even 50/50.
but i think that Guzman might just have a little more boxing skills than Soto.
I'm gonna say Guzman by a very very close decision.

To think that I was gonna be ringside for this shit...

Anyway... I think Sotos a little more skilled then Joan. To me Joan is more of imposing himself on his opponent and standing there trading. With that being said Sotos weight hasn't been stable as of late and I'm not sure how he's doing in weight. While Joan himself didn't look as good as he was expected to for his homecoming party.

I'll take Joan by SD.
