Armando Humberto Soto Ochoa is a Mexican professional boxer. Soto won the WBC interim featherweight title by beating Rocky Juarez on August 20, 2005, a fight he accepted with two weeks notice. He is known for his unorthodox boxing style, being referred to as a "gumby man" by boxing manager Emanuel Steward.
On November 17, 2007, became the challenger to fight Joan Guzmán, the reigning WBO Super Featherweight champion. Unfortunate for him, Soto lost by unanimous decision.
He will fight for the vacant interim WBC Super featherweight title on June 28, 2008.
