Valero to spar with Oscar?
By Gabriel F. Cordero
Strong possibilities exist that big-punching Venezuelan superstar and former world champion Edwin Valero (24-0, 24 KOs) could be joining the Big Bear boxing camp of Oscar de la Hoya as a sparring partner during the Golden Boy's preparations for his "Dream Match" against Manny Pacquiao. The unbeaten Valero, like Pacquiao, is a southpaw boxer who is now campaigning in the lightweight division. Informed sources indicate that Valero could be traveling soon to California to help Oscar de la Hoya. Meanwhile, Golden Boy Promotions announced through a press release that an "exciting addition to Team De La Hoya" will be revealed on Thursday. For this bout, Oscar is being trained for the first time by respected Mexican trainer Ignacio "Nacho" Beristain.
