Soto decisions Diaz
March 14th, 2010
By Eric Thomas: In a fight that was more competitive than many people thought it would be, Humberto Soto (51-7-2, 32 KOs) defeated former lightweight champion David Diaz (35-3-1, 17 KOs) by a 12 round unanimous decision for the vacant World Boxing Council lightweight title on the undercard of the Manny Pacquiao vs. Joshua Clottey fight on Saturday night at the Dallas Cowboy Stadium, in Arlington, Texas.
The final judges scores were 115-111, 117-109, 117-109. Diaz was knocked down twice, once in the 1st and another time in the 12th. However, he was never hurt in either case. Soto built up a big lead early and then let off the pedal in the later rounds and cruised to victory.

SOTO NOW THAT YOUR AT 135 IT’S TIME TO FIGHT REAL FIGHTERS NOT BUMS LIKE D. DIAZ
NOT VALERO GIVE ROLANDO REYES A CHANCE AND YEA TOP RANK GIVE HIM HIS MONEY BACK…..
I would like to see Soto take on Valero.
top rank i want my money back you robb me
Matt he dosn’t fight like Clotty but he throws 20 to 30 punches a round like Clotty. Floyd most of the time is behind after 6 rounds he takes over after fighters are tired after he has been just using defense. Pac dosn’t get tired and Mayweather will have to open up to catch up that is when Pac will really strt taging him. People think that Pac throws a punch floy counter ain’t going to work like that. Pac put Mayweather on ropes Pac wins exchanges. of 6to 8 punches vs 2 to Floyd. Do the math Pac throws more Floyd throws less,Pac dosn’t tire = Victory.
soto is now a 3 div champ, but … who cares
Bob – No chance in hell will Mayweather fight like clottey, ever, in any boxing ring. Pac was predictable yday, in then out throw combos. Mayweather will take his time and counter. Im not saying Pac hasn’t got a chance. But don’t put Clottey in his league. Clottey enjoyed picking up his paycheck and that’s all he was there for.
ITS TIME FOR ROLANDO REYES COME ON SOTO LETS DO IT WITH REYES FROM THE 805
YEA DIAZ WAS AND IS DONE SORRY SOTO IS NO GOOD
lol, anyone still wonder why Pac’s team cherrypicked David Diaz at 135?
The guy sucks.
Mayweather can’t beat Pac!!! He won’t be able to match the 100 punch a round. Maywaether throws what 20 to 30 he will get out hustled similar to Clottey. Mayweather might win 3 or 4 rounds but thats it.
I was expectin pac to knock out pac but wtf!! Clottey caught pac with like 5 good uppercuts n that’s it
I wonder how many of the 50 plus fans were still there after round 6? This fite really hurt pac many fans won’t be back cuz of how easy he won
“Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang, you dont want to throw anything back bang, bang, bang, bang, here you go three, four punches bang, bang, bang, bang” LOL Jim Lampley
Never in my life have i seen a commentator get so frustrated at a fighter that he starts screaming bang, bang, bang! LMAO This fight was a joke, Pacquiao fought a punching bag. How do you out punch your opponent by 832 punches! LOL
There was no animosity before the fight not even at the weight in, where Clottey and Pacquiao couldnt even stare each other down without laughing. Clottey was just happy to be there and get his pday!!
All 4 fights sucked!
i want my money back!
Guyweather, where are you now…! your next!!!!!
This was the worst PPV in the history of boxing.
surprise surprise
