Brandon Rios vs Humberto Soto

---This little brawling jewel off the public radar in Tiajuna this Sat, Brandon Rios whom everyone used to love to hate when he was champ missing weight while squeezed into the smaller divs, and Humberto Soto a very serious and quiet 2 div champ looking for a title shot at welt.

 

and, yeah, Rios still a tub at the weighin. I'm going with Soto in an upset. He's a solid technician with a subtle pressuring style. Who you got?

Who knows...Soto is aging but clever while Rios hasn't been that impressive lately. Still favor Rios to win, but on points. Soto a tough customer only has been stopped twice, once early on by a corner retirement in 11 rounds and once by Matthysse, also by corner retirement, in 5.

--- Tijuana being Sotos hometown gave him a wide decision over Rios who perhaps was deserving of a couple more rds.

 

Soto moves to 69-9-2 and Rios 35-5-1. Soto having to fight the younger guy off really showed his age, but it was that experience and grit that kept him too often looking like the fresher fighter. Rios sneered at his shots when he wasn't reeling. Good war of attrition. We'll see where they go, but damn, Rios is really hard to fight off. Prob Soto retires as a local hero, whereas Rios plods on
