      But from what I can see, he's really not that skilled. He's a very sloppy finisher from what I can tell.

      Pitalua's body was wide open, all night. And he didn't throw a single power shot there.

      Most of his blows in the finish either missed, or barely grazed Pitalua.

      He's a fun dude to watch, for sure.

      But I think an Elite like Pacquiao or Marquez would put on a clinic against him unless they were foolish enough to get caught......

      .......Which I guess is his appeal and the reason people are riding his **** so bad around here right now.
      All night was 2 rounds though.Haha. As long as he got the job done is what counts. No need to go to the body if you don't have to. I mean at times he's open but until he loses then nothing really much to say, no fighter is perfect. He's doing a damn good job right now.

        valero did throw(and landed) straight lefts to the body(powerpunches)....in fact, he did this within the first minute of the fight......


        LMAO YOU PHAIL!!!!

          He's got some serious pop, but i dont see him beating Juan Diaz, Marquez, or Pacman

          I would love to see him fight Katsidis though.

            I hear what you're saying. And I get it.

            But I'm just not sold on him yet.

            Another fight or two and I could change my tune.

            But until then..........

              I saw nothing but jabs to the body. And not that many of them.

              Moreover, I was talking in particular about the "finish". Particularly, after the first knockdown, and before the final knockdown, when Pitalua was in the corner.

              There were body opportunities abound, and Valero seemed to just be programmed to throw 50 punches at the head, in the hopes of landing 5.

                  Most finishers don't go to the body when trying to finish. They go to what got that person in the state to begin with.

                    I'd love to see that one.

                    Katsidis' career would be over after that bout.
