Video Transcription: Humberto Soto

BT:  Boxingtalk.com here with Humberto Soto.  Fresh from the Solis-Pacquiao fight.  Humberto, how are you doing? "Very well, thank you."

BT:  What did you think about Manny Pacquiao's performance?

HS:  He gave a great performance.  He's a great warrior, a great fighter.  I'm worried about facing him, but first I've got to face his brother on June 9th.  If the promoter decides to make the fight I'll take it, but I know it's not going to be an easy fight.

BT:  You said his brother, Bobby Pacquiao? 

HS:  Yes, the same night as Judah-Cotto in Madison Square Garden. 

BT:  You've been quietly walking around, are you studying Pacquiao?

HS:  I've been chasing and watching him because I know that sooner or later there will be a fight.  It's not the same watching him live as it is seeing him on TV.  Sooner or later I know I'm going to face Manny.

BT:  What do you think about all the attention Manny Pacquiao is getting, and does it bother you?


HS:  That really bothers me a lot, because everybody called me a killer at 130 pounds and everyone tried to avoid me.  Sooner or later, they're going to have to face me and we'll see what happens then.

BT:  Is there anything you'd like to say to your fans in closing?

HS:  I hope everybody expects that I'm going to keep doing what I've always done.  I'm going to kill anybody who faces me, so I get my title shot, because I feel I deserve it.  I'm the champion without a crown, and I'm going to get my belt.  And then the people will believe in me.
