Did Barrera kick Valero's ass in sparring?

[kadyo's]

[pacquiao didn't do **** against Barrera the second time, he was scared as **** to jump in like he did the first time around, the valero sparring definetly helped

That's very funny for somebody who claims to know his boxing.

I dint see the Video but i remmember that there was a vid of Valero schooling Morales during a sparing and thats how Fisher from Maxboxing started hyping that Valero was ganna be a champion with his Power and boxing skills. He turned into a KO artist but apparently he has very good boxing skills, dont know if he still got them but maybe he'll surprise evryone by bring that back for the Pac fight.

Valero kick Barrera's ass in sparring, Steve kim and the other guy at Maxboxing has all Valero's tapes, But the guy has NO TECHNIC whatsoever he just swings wildly..NO footspeed whatsoever..He does have a power punch though and Pacman would just run all over him.

Valero was first brought in to spar with Morales in the lead up to his fight with Pacman and he was so impressive that Golden boy signed him.

The objective to sparring is to LEARN. Not kick the other guys ass. This means NOTHING. Know the diffrence. When boxers spar they are ONLY looking to adjust/Improve what they have little of.

Exactly sparring is to learn for boxers, Barrera was preparing himself for a fight and he would let most of his sparring partners beat him up to prepare himself for a fight.

In all fairness to Valero, he's a good technical boxer in sparring. He gave Morales all he could handle when Morales was preparing for his first Pacquiao fight. He also toyed with Urbano Antillon, an undefeated lightweight prospect in their sparring tussle, and he made mincemeat of Filipino gatekeeper, Randy Suico. Check out youtube or other sources, you might find all of these there. I also read he gave a good account of himself against his sparring with Barrera, but he throws all these technical skills he had acquired all away when it counts most, the actual fight itself. I guess you have to blame it on his Japanese handlers. They've been dangling an incentive, or a bounty whenever Valero scores a 1st round KO, that's why he's always going for broke in the 1st round on all of his fights.

Unless they (Valero and camp) accept that you can't KO all of your opponents as quick as the first 19 he had, they're in for a long night against Pacquiao...

There was an article relased in South America that Valero is GAY
