Soto-Antillon is the better fight compared to Pacquiao-Mosley
December 31st, 2010
By Chris Williams: A fight that belongs in the main event on May 7th instead of on the undercard is the rematch between World Boxing Council (WBC) lightweight champion Humberto Soto (54-7-2, 32 KO’s) and challenger Urbano Antillon (28-2, 20 KO’s), who will be fighting on the undercard of the Manny Pacquiao vs. Shane Mosley bout at the MGM Grand, in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Soto and Antillon battled back and forth for 12 rounds on December 4th, trading shot for shot in one of the most exciting fights in 2010. Soto ultimately prevailed, winning the fight by a narrow 12 round decision, but Antillon put in a hell of a fight with his steady pressure that he kept putting on Soto during the fight.
I frankly left speechless after witnessing this fantastic fight. I had more respect for both fighters, as Soto and Antillon took huge shots in that fight but stayed up and continued to fight it out.
A rematch between these two warriors deserves nothing less than to be put at the top of the bill. It’s sad that this fight would be on the undercard of any big fight, especially a poor one like Pacquiao-Mosley.

GOOD ARTICLE CHRIS REMEMBER THAT HUMBERTO SOTO WAS THE SAME FIGHTER TO GIVE @SS WHOPPING TO PACMANS BROTHER THEN CALLED OUT FOR PACMAN TO AVENGE HIS BROTHERS LOSS BUT PACMAN AVOIDING HIM!!!!!!!!!!
To this writer, Chris Williams. Time to say your THANKS SO MUCH TO PACMAN for providing bread and food to you and your family. We’re you able to feed turkey and canned goods to your family. I’m sure you only get readers on your articles if your topic is Pacquiao. You need to be concerned though that Pacquiao has two fights left and will retire soon. You need to feed yourself and your family so I’m sure you’re so nervous now that Pacquiao is retiring sooner than later. Don’t worry Pacquiao can supply you for life with biscuits, rice, tacos and meat loaf to feed your family for the rest of your lives.
yea smart boy try to match mosley msrquez and see what the result will be : marquez got not 1 chance on beat mosley , i think manny hits harder than marquez and mosley ha’s better chin than marquez .
suit yourself!
i don’t care if antillon and soto are on the undercard i am not too stupid to pay just to wach pac vs mosley fu…. that
hahaha, well said kaliwete.Those people who said they won’t pay to watch Mosley – Pacquiao fight will be the same people who’s not gonna pay when Pac will issue a retirement paycheck to JMM or demolish Berto… somehow you can tell if this people are true to themselves or not…hey it’s NEW YEAR….HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE….Manny …wish you all the best , you’re an inspiration
This bout should be between BAM BAM Brandon Rios and Humberto Soto,but as you would have it SOTO is afraid of BAM BAM so he makes a rematch with another fighter who has nothing Antillon so he can try and get by without facing Rios!!!, the WBC should strip SOTO of the belt and let Antillon and Rios fight for it!!! Soto is scared and I don’t see why if he is being called out by BAM BAM on HBO he don’t nut up??!!?!?!?!?!?
Agree with you buddy thats why I am buying the PPV for this fight only. The minute the fight is over I will shut off the TV and go to sleep. No need to watch Manny beat up Shane.
Agre with y
Chris you’re living in the Pacquiao era..you have to accept that – people are buying his fights
LOL!
Chris your nuts 10rs ago PAC was unknown and 5 yrs ago PAC was not welterwt…this fight should have been made before Floyd’/Mosley. Nonetheless the fans will pay because PAC is a major draw, remember even ALI fought bums and still garnered big draws.. This fight still has some interesting points, size difference, styles and finally a black American boxer…Hopefully, SSM will be the best he can be at his age …he tends to gas out after rd 7 and 8. UD PAC too fast/power and better conditioned. BTW your article is real weak, your reality is skewered.
Who is this writer to disdain Mosley to fight Pacquiao?
You don’t know anything about boxing, and I wonder why you are here. Your reasoning is weak as trickling water. Anything can happen comes fight night. Let me ask you this, if you are so certain that Pac will beat Shane, why don’t you also how how eggs you’re counting to put into your bank account after May 7th?
Sotto-Antillon was a great fight. It was a slug fest. But put it this way, Pac can’t really sing but he can pull more audience more than Sotto-Antillon combined… So you should know by now, people pay to watch Pac….that’s the bottom line. And who is Sotto-Antillon compare to Pac? Nothing! Pac got fan base all over the world. Any of those got a fan in north pole? guess not, pac does…. Even penguins knows him.
yeah,yeah,yeah…anything as long as it is not a pacquiao fight is better….well chris, like it or not..,pacquiao is the star and you know what…there is nothing, i repeat…nothing that you can do about it…hahahaha…so suck it up!!! but there is one thing that you can do…you can stop writing articles about pacquiao…to tell you frankly you suck at it anyway!!!
Chris Williams, Your blocking my comments. Why? The truth will hurt you.
Seen these guys headline at the Honda Center in Cali. Fireworks. This card is lining up to be legit. If they could get the winner of Agbeko and Mares to fight Montiel or Donaire or Juan ma and Gamboa that would make the Mosley Vs Manny mis match seem worth while. Come on Bob you’ve been racking up nice forever. NOw its time to give the fans what they want. Happy New Year …
your face will be totally shot, mosley is no.1 ring king
