Some very surprising twists in Las Vegas. Former super featherweight champion and current lightweight contender, Edwin Valero (24-0, 24KOs), claims that he busted up Oscar De La Hoya during their sparring session in Big Bear, California. Valero was brought in as a sparring partner to help De La Hoya prepare for Manny Pacquiao. Valero almost lashed out at De La Hoya while speaking to the Philippine Daily Inquirer, claiming that Oscar lied about who gave him a black eye, lied about his level of training and even predicted a knockout win for Pacquiao.

Valero says De La Hoya is the not the hard worker he makes himself out to be. He says that Oscar doesn't like to train. He shot down De La Hoya's story of Victor Ortiz handing him a black eye during a sparring session, and then said that he busted up De La Hoya so bad - it resulted in his removal from the Big Bear training camp.

�Oscar doesn�t like to workout. Oscar doesn�t like to run. Pacquiao is going to knock Oscar out. I was the one who gave Oscar the black eye. Ask him who did it. I got kicked out of Big Bear because of that. I only sparred with Oscar for eight rounds because after those eight rounds, Oscar didn�t want to spar with me anymore. I hurt Oscar a lot,� Valero said.

[QUOTE=xcaret;4433613]didnt u hear victor ortiz say he was the one that gave dlh the blackeye?[/QUOTE] That could be true but what it sounds like is after Valero stepped out of the ring with Delahoya, his black eye got worse, Ortiz may have given him a little mark and Valero finished the deal....

Well you beat up the boss and he fires you at all cost.. The cost? Tko by pac-man! A little childish on valero's part... Let's see when he steps into with contenders if he can continue his ko's!
