Great, great undercard fight for the Canelo vs Kirkland showdown. An all action packed event, can't wait.

Humberto is extremely entertaining but Gomez is on the come up, combination punching vs pure aggression, what a war.

Solid fight. Soto should be getying another crack if he pulls thru this..was kinda disapointed they didnt make crawford/soto.

Great fight. I think Oscar De La Hoya realizes Frankie Gomez isn't very dedicated to boxing so he's matching him up tough with Humberto Soto. Sink or swim time for Frankie Gomez.
