I've been told Edwin Valero (25-0, 25KOs)�is�very upset with the recent comments that were made by Jorge Barrios on BoxingScene.com.

"I've always told you�Valero's own mother would not buy a ticket to see him fight. Now you know why. Valero is a f*ggot and a prostitute. He is a communist and now even worse - he also beats his own mother. If Valero has the balls to put down his liquor bottle for one minute and sign a contract, I will show him that I�m a lot tougher than some defenseless old lady," Barrios said.

Valero wants to settle their feud once and for all, and put an offer�on the table for Barrios�to challenge him for the�WBC lightweight title on December 12 in Venezuela. The feud has been going strong since their verbal confrontation during the press conference to�announce the "Lightweight Lightning" pay-per-view, which took place in April.

A December fight won't happen. Barrios (48-4-1, 34KOs) is already committed to fighting Michael Lozada (33-5-1, 26KOs) on November 21 in Argentina. HBO Plus is carrying the fight. I was told Barrios will NOT fight Valero in Venezuela. He will only take the fight in America. Before a fight in America can happen, Valero will need to get�his visa�in order and�get properly licensed. Texas is the only state where Valero is licensed to fight.

Well he doesn't have a visa so it's still a major problem. Still I'm not sure about his license.When I see ehim fighting anywere outside of Texas in the US I will be happy.

[QUOTE=catalinul;6275230]That articel doesn't say they got him a license. It says they are working hard in getting him one.[/QUOTE] No it doesn't, you should read more carefully. It says "they [B]had [/B]worked hard" - in the past tense. They used the past tense because he had a licence by then...

Man, Put that Valero into action soon! He's been idle for a long time while I think he is competitive even against JMM!
