Clip: Edwin Valero's 16th consecutive 1st Round KO

Seen here stopping Japan's Hero Bando in the 1st round. (Sorry for the choppy quality, the replay I capped already had the speed manipulated so it was tough to make this gif) For those of you who aren't familair with Valero, he's now 17-0 all 17 victories via 1st round KO. He is a 24 year old 5'7 Lightweight from Venezuela. All of his fights have been outside of the USA, where he is on medical suspension forbidden to fight on American soil. This stems from a Motorcycle accident he had as a teen, where he suffered brain damage. Here's his record, which granted is filled with very sub par opposition:

About the last statement, we can only tell when he steps it up, but he is still very green and has lot of time to grow and learn.

The majority of casual boxing fans love knockout machines and they could honestly care less about guys like Winky who demonstrate great talent but not that knockout punch. If he fights in America he will gain media attention and get many fans because of his style/punch. When he starts fighting live bodies, that KO percentage is sure to decline, perhaps into non-existence.

I don't know that he'll be a star at all. It's hard to judge from the level of opposition he's faced, and especially hard to judge from that clip. The opponent overreaches with the right and drops his left all the way to his waist. That's just begging to be knocked out. Good eye for seeing it, though.

he's from Venezuela. i'm sure that's probably a natural hairstyle there. i'm glad his hair doesn't look like every other fighter's, uniqueness. ive seen him with shorter hair, shorter like "cool" hair. no offense, but i seriously doubt its a venezuelan thing. i could be wrong...

(my response from another post:) i literally just finished watching his fight in Japan against Hiro Bandou and wow, that's was an impressive KO. He's very aggresive.. i'm sure he's gotten accustomed to KO'n guys out in the 1st round so he really goes in and attacks non-stop it seemed. If he does get cleared, fights in america, i wonder how he'd fair once he steps up the competition and goes more than one round? He looks very promising tho.

If he had a feel quality fights in the us he would be a champ no doubt. He is a bit wild but he has wicked power and from the clips i seen he can take a shot.

maybe he should try to carry an oppenet a bit, cause 17 one round fights isnt getting him to much learning experince

He's fought three times in the u.s. It must have been after those fights that the scans came to light, becasue he is definatly on medical suspension, and barred from fighting there now. And the accident was before he turned pro.

It's very tough to judge him off one clip and one fight, but the guy definatly has some freakish power. Some of the shots, although wild, have a clubbing Mayorga kind of quality to them.

he looks like a great talent, but i cant help but notice how open he is in that clip, just asking to get rocked. however, it may be that hes going in for the kill or that he knows this guy cant hurt him def want to see more of this guy Thast more along what i was thinking,because of how he looks so relaxed in there.But hes def not thinking much about defense here.Too bad its so hard to track down any more of his fights.

He's pretty sloppy and wild. My intention wasn't to say he's going to be a champion, just to show the clip for those that haven't seen him. Either way, with that fire power I definatly want to see more of him. Yeah i know,that what people say,its hard to judge his entire style from one rounders though.
