Brandon Rios vs. Humberto Soto

I guess it was rather predicate soto seems to have saved something the last round and I think won it, only round I scored.... no Idea who won that, it was fun to watch soto is old but a crafty git. Rios looks bad though, if they give title shot at this weight he's going to sleep.

119-111 honestly didn't see that coming :-X. Great get back fight for Soto..Alpha you got it. Good scrap

Suspicious scorecards I think... not that I actually scored it.

Good work from old git soto, hopefully if he continues he gets paid well.

I'd like to see the pnches stats for this one :S very happy soto won though good for him some I'm not going to complain.

I didn’t watch, but I had it 120-96 for Soto. Excellent work.

Really good fight. I'm happy for Soto. Rios should hang em up.

I only found about this fight Saturday night. Excellent scrap. Happy for Sotto. Kinda happy for Rios too, since he should know now to never set foot in the ring again!

I love these fights though, as bad as they appear on paper, I think they are what boxings all about. Kinda reminded me of the Tua Barrett scrap a good few years back.

Yea these guys may not be elite, but if matched evenly they can provide entertaining fights.

The beauty of boxing is that it is all about levels. Most of the best fights are between undercard novices or over the hill veterans.

As long as people are well matched, they produce good fights. It doesn't matter what level they are

Promoters are now so scared of a loss, they produce terrible mismatches - which bore fans and don't help their fighter improve!

Well said X. Can't deny I look at Rios and his career missteps with a bit of bias, meanwhile many myself included overlooked a constant true professional who arguably saved one of his most disciplined performances for one last big shot. Soto has earned everything he has and younger softer ranks coming up now could learn much from old pros.

And Joe Cortez still screwed him over in bogus 'DQ' ;D.
