Jesús Soto Karass (born October 15, 1982 in Los Mochis, Sinaloa, Mexico) is a Mexican boxer in the Welterweight division. He is the former WBC Continental Americas and the NABF Welterweight Champion.[1] Jesús is the younger brother of boxer José Luis Soto Karass.[2]

Personal life

Pro career

Soto Karass holds wins over Michel Rosales, Saúl Román, Carson Jones, Vince Phillips, and David Estrada. He is signed to Bob Arum's Top Rank.[4] His fight with Gabriel Martínez was ruled a No Contest after an unintentional headbutt.[5]

Soto Karass vs. Jones I&II

Jesús lost to Mike Jones on the undercard of Margarito vs. Pacquiao in Dallas on November 13, 2010. This fight was a huge controversy after the fight when the decision was ruled in favor of Mike Jones after a hard fought battle which saw Mike Jones become exhausted after the second round due to an attempt at finishing the fight. A rematch for this fight happened on February 19, 2011, with Karass losing a convincing fight holding his side.[6]

Comeback

After a four fight losing streak capped by a 5th round TKO by Gabriel Rosado Karass came back on May 26, 2012 and won a split decision against Said El Harrak. He followed this up with a 5th round TKO of fellow contender Euri Gonzalez.
