I Cant Wait For Valero-Demarco Next Week!

The thing I really really like about this fight is that they are both Southpaws. Again, I dont think people talk about that enough but I think its by far the biggest advantage in boxing and alot of people struggle with them, including other Southpaws. Im sure neither guy has faced many so how will that play out and who will it effect the most? I hope DeMarco doesnt look raw against it and get caught with something cold early I was thinking about that too. Does anyone know how many times each guys has faced a fellow southpaw in the pros?

Good thread, DLT. I like this fight as well. I think it's a good opportunity for both fighters to showcase their stuff. For Valero, it's his first time on Showtime and primetime US TV and his chance to prove that he's more than just some raw, free swinging power puncher. With a victory, DeMarco can prove that he's a serious talent and one of the best lightweights. I think DeMarco has all the physical attributes and skills to pull off the upset, but DeMarco used to be a bit of a brawler in his younger days, so hopefully he won't be dragged into a war. He's not terribly hard to hit to begin with, so doing that will hurt his chances even more. He's going to have to use his jab and box from the outside and take advantage of Valero's wild swings.

i know who he is but i dont want none of that upcoming guys. someone veteran. someone not only people here in boxing scene knows. if u know what i mean. ok, thats cool and I agree. DeMarco still may not be the real deal but I think this is the perfect middle fight. Way better then the guys he's been fighting but under the guys he needs to fight next. If he wins impressively then I think we could see a Katsidis, Diaz, or Marquez matchup next. He definitely has to face a name next

If you dont know DeMarco then that is your problem. The kid is a real legit opponent. He can win this. Valero better be as good as they say he is or he will lose this i know who he is but i dont want none of that upcoming guys. someone veteran. someone not only people here in boxing scene knows. if u know what i mean.

so when is this guy valero going to fight someone we know and someone legit? If you dont know DeMarco then that is your problem. The kid is a real legit opponent. He can win this. Valero better be as good as they say he is or he will lose this

Valero is going to get KO'd one day and DeMarco is a very live challenger. But so far nobody has been able to handle the freakish power of Valero. Great fight that I'm really looking forward to.

so when is this guy valero going to fight someone we know and someone legit?

Yeah I'm real hyped up for this fight considering the lack of boxing we've had so far minus last weekend and the disappoint of Mosley-Berto being called off. I'm thinking DeMarco has what it takes to pull off the upset since he's mentally very strong. He knows exactly what he's got to do to tame Valero, and hopefully at the right time he'll mix it up but I'd rather not see him mixing with Valero. Just pick his spots well and he could have a chance to stop Valero.

Awesome hype video, Demarco definitely suprised me in the Raiymkulov fight. Can't wait

im rooting for my fellow mexican but he will go down in 3, i think

if anyone wants to make a bet just send me pm...thank you...cant wait for the fight!

and I didnt even know it was going to be in Mexico. Valero is going to have hell on his hands. Im going with my boy Demarco but either way I expect it to be a war and maybe FOTY type shit. This fight will really show how good both guys are wanna bet? i got 200K for Edwin Valero over Antonio DeMarco...:boxing:

Hugo. A joke in reference to his tattoo. Thanks I didn't realize it was on showtime. If only I had it!! order it friday morning, cancel it monday morning, its only like 5/10$ that they'd charge you, my primo does it all the time when he cant come thru to my house....i have hbo/showtime for boxing

I think Demarco has better skillz, but he still gets hit too much. I'm taking power over skill by 6th rd KO

is this gonna be on showtime? Yes sir!!!!!!!!!!

Is this going to be televised in the US and if so, where? I got my man Chavez by KO Chavez? Its on Showtime

Dwyer is probably the most informitive predicter out there. I love watching his stuff

2 Predictions

big fan of demarco very good skills and i think if it gets into a war valero might get the shock of his life when he sees valero can take his punches and give them back with interest
