I don't think he could beat Pacquiao, but man would I ever like to see the fight anyways.
Valero looks very strong and fast, but also his hooks are very wide and amateurish. He is flat footed, but there is nothing wrong with that if your a big puncher, you can be flat footed. I really think that his pursuit of the record for first round knockouts has actually severely hurt his development. A lot of the recklissness and being flat footed comes from constantly training for the first round knockout. I heard a rumour that he has a clause in his contract for a large money bonus whenever he takes somebody out in the first round. By the 19 fight guys should be perfecting their defense and learning how to use the early rounds to set up the later rounds. Great physical abilities though, and he looks to have a devastating straight left.
valero is figthing tomato can patsys to pad he's record ummm just like JCCJr...LOL
valero fights tomato cans coz he cant fight in the US. 99 percent of that tomato cans KO'D on the first round..he beat a champion..he is a champion.
That's what I read as well. But I also read that Morales gave him a pretty good boxing lesson too. But most people were talking about Valero coz he's the up and comer.
There should be a video of it in youtube. I can't put a link right now. My work blocked the site. They went back and forth. Pretty entertaining for a sparring session.
Valero looks like he has the power, but as said befor leaves his self open alot. Surly a quality fighter like pac would over turn him.
On paper valero has only had 20 fights, against noone notable and less than 25 rounds of boxing in total pro boxing i think. Surly a mismatch?
Can you guys see Morales popping Valero's face back with his jabs all night?
He throws punches with his head straight up like an amateur. He does have power....a bit slow coz he wings it like a baseball bat.
Actually Valero didn't do so bad when they sparred. Valero was actually catching Morales with some pretty good shots.
Valero has a puncher's chance. He has power in both hands and is relatively quick. He could catch Pac while he's throwing and KO him.
I don't think Valero is ready for a Pac, but he does have the power to turn the fight around.
he is so unpolished it's unreal, all Valero has is power. his chin is up in the air, he reaches in, he needs guys to trade with him in order for him to reel off any clean shots, meaning he has to take one maybe two to get one of his, not the best game plan.
he does have power but any pressure fighter and/or inside fighter would eat him alive, all they would have to do is bury their head in the middle of his chest and got to work. Valero needs his opponents at the end of his punches, he's a range fighter, that and his punch output isnt all that high either, even though the majority of his fights haven't gone past the 1st round, but still, not a whole lot.
even though Manny has some sloppiness to his fight game, he looks like Sugar Ray Leonard compared to Valero.
Pacquiao Already Sparred 3 times with VALERO and get this it was when pacman was at 122 pounds! lol and he sparred with the bigger valero.
and they said pacman was hard for him to catch pacman was unleashing 6-7 punch combos at will.
Valero also sparred with morales.
I don't think Valero has ever met a big puncher-- one truly worthy of the label.
He fell in the third to Mosquera and Mosquera has had only half of his wins by stoppages, although he has the distinction of having dropped Yodsanan Nanthachai three times on the way to winning by decision (he was also dropped once).
Before Mosquera he fought Tranzancos who like Mosquera had only about half of his wins by stoppages.
Perhaps the best puncher that Valero has faced to this day is Whyber Garcia who had racked up 12 kos in 17 wins. Garcia stopped the durable Bernard Harris who went the distance with the likes of Leonard Dorin, Joel Casamayor, Paul Spadafora, Sharmba Mitchel and held Gairy St. Clair to a draw. In a 46-fight career (22 Ws-22Ls-2Ds) only Garcia and Carlos Hernandez were able to put Harris away.
Valero, a lefty, wings his lethal punches all the way from right field and leaves himself open for a pre-emptive strike. A quick handed opponent who carries power can put him in trouble pretty early, pretty quickly and pretty bad.
The only problem that I can foresee that Pacquiao may have facing Valero is the fact that Pacquiao has not faced too many lefties and may have problems. I can't recall the last time he did, if he ever did. BUt with that said, it must be added that Pacquiao is much too shifty for Valero who moves around the ring flat-footed and sometimes lunges when he becomes impatient.
I'll take the match as a highly possible Pacquiao early win; but shall give Valero a remote puncher's chance.
wow, you're back!! been looking for you these couple of days, i thought for a second you left already. that leaves ferocity no one (is he your best buddy?)
Ferocity is his lover. Didn't you know they have a movie togther called wetback moutain.

Pacman would own this guy if they fight :D
