Elie Seckbach, the Embedded Correspondent, brings his exclusive video reporting to FanHouse. Check back regularly for more videos. On Nov. 13, at the Dallas Cowboys Stadium, eight-division king Manny Pacquiao (53-2-1, 38 knockouts), who is handled by Top Rank Promotions, earned an HBO pay-per-view televised victory over Antonio Margarito (38-7, 27 KOs), adding the WBC's vacant junior middleweight (154 pounds) crown to the WBO welterweight (147 pounds) belt that he had already owned.
On the Pacquiao-Margarito under card, Jesus Soto-Karass (pictured at right, on the left) lost a disputed welterweight decision to Mike Jones (23-0, 18 KOs), this, after nearly being stopped in the second round.
On Feb. 19, Soto-Karass (24-5-3, 16 KOs) and Jones are slated for a rematch at the Mandalay Bay Hotel in Las Vegas. Jones-Soto-Karass is likely for the under card of what will be an HBO-televised clash between WBA interim super flyweight (115 pounds) titlist Nonito Donaire (25-1, 17 KOs) and WBO and WBC bantamweight (118 pounds) king Fernando Montiel (44-2-2, 34 KOs).
Soto-Karass talked about the rematch and provided his thoughts on Montiel-Donaire as well.
