Soto, 33-5-2 (18 KOs), currently world-rated No. 3 by the WBC and No. 5 by the WBO, is riding a 19-month, 10-bout winning streak — six by knockout – including a WBC FECARBOX title victory over Emidgio Gastelum at The Orleans in 2002. This fight marks Soto’s 2004 U.S. debut. He has fought twice this year, winning both by knockout.

Alcorro, 23-5-3 (15 KOs), had his four-year 17-bout unbeaten streak broken last November via a disputed 12-round decision against undefeated Jorge Solis in their WBA FEDCENTRO title fight in Florida. It was a rematch of their exciting WBC Latin America title fight, which had ended in a draw earlier that year. Alcorro, a former IBF Latin America champion and a 10-year-veteran, has long been a fan favorite who fears no one in the ring, which explains why 65% of victories have been by vicious knockout.
