As is the case with many talented, young fighters, glaring deficiencies haven't surfaced so far in Dusty Hernandez-Harrison's career.
There are subtle things that Hernandez-Harrison can improve on, such as not pulling straight back and establishing distance with his jab, but that will most likely come with more experience.
It's hard to call it a weakness, but as of right now, Hernandez-Harrison is most lacking in the experience department. By facing Soto, he is putting himself on the right path to boosting his opposition level.
If Soto is able to take Hernandez-Harrison into new waters, we may get a better idea of what the young D.C. fighter's weaknesses truly are.
In fights against Jose Gonzalez and Danny O'Connor, Soto overexerted himself with bobbing and weaving and then lunged into his opponents. This, coupled with a suspect chin, is one of Soto's most glaring weaknesses.
He needs to move more efficiently and try to show Hernandez-Harrison different angles. Against Gonzalez, Soto came straight forward while dropping his right hand, which allowed his opponent to knock him out with a crisp left hook.
Soto needs to work intelligently and enter into striking distance with his guard up. He shouldn't turn the fight into a home-run derby in hopes of knocking Hernandez-Harrison out with one punch.
