Valero: Im ready to fight my second defense, anxious and i know i need to prepare because Mexican fans expect alot from a fighter.
Interviewer: We wanted to ask you, when are we going to see you in a big fight.
Valero: Well, thats up to my promoters. I've been trying to fight the astro Philipino but he has not paid attention to me. But many people have faith that i can make a good fight.
Interviewer: Are you obsessed with the knockout when you're in the ring.
Valero: Is not obsession, I just know it can happen anytime and thats why when i throw my punches i throw them with alot of power. I also work in the gym to throw my punches hard and fast for 12 rounds.
Interviewer: Specifically I know you where in Delahoyas camp but then your name dissappeared.
Valero: Well, i lasted a month there and i only did 8 rounds of sparring. I wanted more and they told me to calm down that either way ill get my check. In the last sparring session I swolled his eye and they told me they didn't need me anymore.
Barrera: Why cant you fight in the U.S. ?
Valero: Before I didn't have a license to fight and I had the visa. Now I have the license to fight in Texas but dont have the visa. But I should have it by March so I can go to the U.S. and fight.
Interviewer: What has been your major progress in boxing?
Valero: I think the progress is that im getting more experienced during the fights. I am calmer now and the nerves have gone away.
Barrera: Well you fought Pitalua which we thought had a chance in Mexico, but you finished his dream immediately how was that fight?
Valero: Well i came to the fight catious because he can hit based on his record. By the second he ran into my right hand and then after the first knockdown i finished him.
Interviewer: What happens when you get hit because of your defense?
Valero: Well, boxing is based on styles. I have seen fighters with their hands down. Muhammad Ali fought his hands down. When ever I fight with my hands up I cant see my opponent or I cant tell all of what hes doing. With my hands down a bit, I can hit quicker and see my opponent better.
Interviewer: You have your fight on Feb 6 against Demarco. Do you think you can knock him out?
Valero: Well we cant predict in our sport of boxing. You will see my experience and my physical condition and power will show that night.
Barrera: Were would your next fight be Mexico or US?
Valero: There is nothing set in stone yet. I don't know, that's up to my promoter.
If they give me an opportunity I will face all the top fighters with names.
