On Saturday night in a Top Rank Promotions event, there will be a lightweight (135 pounds) clash between WBC champion Humberto Soto (53-7-2, 32 knockouts) and Urbano Antillon (28-1, 20 KOs), the winner of which meets rising star Brandon Rios (26-0-1, 19 KOs) sometime next year.
Not only does Antillon speak to FanHouse about the opportunity of facing Soto, but also, about having been a former sparring partner for eight-division king Manny Pacquiao, holder of the WBO welterweight (147 pounds) and WBC junior middleweight (154 pounds).
