Filipino superstar Manny Pacquiao, in an interview with ABS-CBN, has just accepted the challenge hurled to him by Mexican Humberto Soto who defeated his younger brother Bobby today at the Madison Square Garden.
Soto had knocked out Bobby Pacquiao in the seventh round after finding himself in dire straits especially in the fourth round when the younger Pacquiao unleashed several big right shots that staggered the highly-regarded Mexican.
'Tinatanggap ko yung hamon nya (Soto). Gusto ko syang kalabanin para malaman ko kung gaano talaga sya kalakas," said Pacquiao.
Top Rank promoter Bob Arum is planning to put Pacquiao's next fight either on September 15 in Las Vegas or October 6 in VAncouver, Canada.
According to popular Filipino promoter Rex 'Wakee' Salud, in a message from New York where he was at ringside for the Soto-Pacquiao fight, a possible Manny Pacquiao-Humberto Soto tiff is now '75 percent done.'
