June 23rd, 2012. 29 year old “La Maquina” Lucas Matthysse took on 32 year old Humberto Soto aka "La Zorrita The Crafty Little Fox" in a scheduled 10 rounder for the vacant WBC Continental Americas Super Lightweight Championship.

This was a co-feature with the Victor Ortiz vs Josesito Lopez bout for the vacant WBC World Silver Welterweight Title.

Prefight records; Matthysse 30(28)-2, Soto 58(34)-7-2.

Entering the fight, the veteran Soto who was a 2-1 betting underdog had victories over top oppositions such as Antonio Davis, Francisco Lorenzo, Gamaliel Diaz, Joan Guzman, Jesus Chavez, José Alfaro, David Diaz & Rocky Juarez. On the other hand, Matthysse had notable wins over the likes of Vivian Harris & DeMarcus Corley.

Overall, it was a highly competitive battle where Humberto often land punches in bunches with his crafty, unorthodox style against the younger Lucas who often pressed the action in attempts to corner the seasoned Mexican to the ropes where he will be most dangerous.

For the first 12 minutes, both exchanged and connected at a near equal measure but the difference was Matthysse’s relentless body punching that finally paid dividends in round 5 when Soto began to go backwards.

With about 10 seconds left in round 5, a big Lucas right hand followed by a devastating 3 punch combination sent Humberto to the canvas for the first time in 68 pro bouts.

In a great display of courage, he rose to his feet but was barely able to make it back to his corner after the bell. Shortly thereafter, Soto’s corner informed referee Raul Caiz Sr that their fighter was unable to continue.

With that, Lucas Matthysse became the new WBC Continental Americas Super Lightweight Champion and improved his record to 31(29)-2.

This was La Zorrita’s first setback in nearly 4 years and only the second time he was stopped in 15 years.

Note: His first stoppage loss took place way back in May 2000 against Hector Javier Marquez.

Coincidentally, the other co feature ended in similar fashion when Victor Ortiz asked his corner to halt the contest as he claimed to have broken his jaw thus Josesito Lopez as the 6.5-1 betting underdog achieved a huge upset to become the new WBC World Silver Welterweight Champion after 9 action packed rounds.
