Soto sends message to Morales

[mofo2]

Mexican three-time world champion Humberto “Zorrita” Soto (61-8-2, 35 KOs) showed onlooking ring legend Erik Morales what he is in for if Soto and Morales meet in Morales’ farewell fight. Soto mercilessly battered and stopped Hiroshi Nakamori (33-6-1, 20 KOs) in nine brutal rounds to retain his WBC International silver belt on Saturday night at the Monumental Villa Charra Carlos Bowser Gonzalez in Tijuana. The super game Nakamori took a lot of punishment before the bout was finally halted by the ring doctor due to damage to Nakamori’s left eye.

 

Soto and Morales had been talking up a possible showdown all during fight week and Morales was at ringside to observe his next possible opponent.

Soto seems revigorated, revitalised...he'd probably beat Erik up, Erik should stay the fuck away from serious fighters now.:tsk:

Agree. Erik is a accident waiting to happen. Let's hope saner heads prevail and we don't see this one.

Never saw the bout but...I'm not too sure on the actual "quality" of this victory. Nakamori has a nice enough looking record but had only been a domestic level fighter at Lightweight. In his two Japanese Lightweight title fights he had been stopped (by Ichitaro Ishii and Nihito Arakawa) and both times it was quicker than what Soto did to him.
