Thread: Humberto Soto vs Edwin Valero

Who wins and Why?

Wow! That would be a phone booth fight wouldn't it? To be honest, no one ever really mentions a fight between these two guys but why not? It would be all action and both would be looking to rip each other's heads off.

I can't really say because Valero is really untested. My gut instinct is telling me Soto pulls this one off but it's really a pick 'em. Whoever lands the biggest shot first wins.

A sure barnburner!!! The definite speed/power edge to Valero, chin/defense maybe Soto and skill definitely Soto.

Soto would win. Simply because he's not a tricycle driver.

no one can really judge Valero's chin cause it's never really been tested, speed i'd say is dead even, and power goes to Valero, but overall boxing ability although no Mayweather goes to Soto, i see this fight beeing a tough one probably Valero winning the early rounds by smothering Soto and muscling him around, but Soto working the body and seeing how Valero tired a bit the only fight that he went up to the 10th, although he clearly still had the power, i'd think it'd be the first fight to go the distance, and maybe even a SD loss for Valero, really a pretty even fight though

I rate Soto very highly, & personally I think he outboxes him for most of the early rounds, with Valero going head-hunting in the first 2 & then losing energy a bit, & I reckon Soto TKO's him in the 10th or 11th

Would be great.Personaly I cannot wait for Antillon to get a crack at someone....anyone!!Soto can have trouble with movers and guys not willing too engage.Valero will be right there and Soto will have the options of mobilty and once he gets the rangy arsenal going I'm thinking he KO's Valero midway.

is valero the real deal? if he wins against the likes of soto then he is, what more if the guy he'll beat will be jmm.(if that happens)

if soto weathered the storm early he might outbox valero all through out but again basing to soto's last outing which was disappointing for a champ, his stamina might be suspect. his workrate was down on the later rounds of that fight and his foe found a way to effectively counter punch soto. good thing at the end soto still won via tko. but if that happens in a valero vs.soto scenario, a valero vs mosquera comes in to my mind. valero might ko soto if his stamina gives in. and valero has a monstrous ko power!

surprisingly i vote valero based through their recent outings. and valero was really tested against pitalua which valero pulled off. only difference is: pitalua is nowhere the caliber of soto.

valero by tko in late rounds.
but if soto improves his stamina it'll be soto by ud or possibly, a late round tko. by 10 or 11!
