Edwin Valero on Track, Makes 30-Day Weight Limit
By Mark Vester
WBC lightweight champion made weight for the 30-day mandatory weigh-in. He took the scales for his February 6 defense against interim-champion Antonio DeMarco, which takes place in Mexico. It took place at the Boxing Zone Gym in Las Mercedes, Caracas in Venezuela. Valero was 143.3 pounds. He managed to stay close to his fighting weight of 135 through the holidays after stopping Hector Velazquez on December 19. He wants to arrive in Monterrey, Mexico well in advance to get used to the climate.
"I feel good and have no problems. We're been training since the weekend. I'm in fine weight and ready to go to Mexico," admitted Valero.
