Comments Thread For: Edwin Valero Eyes Mayweather-Pacquiao Undercard Spot

[Ch@mpBox@PR]

you really think he is gonna fight one of them just 1 month after demarco????im sure youll say he is ducking when he doesnt......

Nope I just saying it would be good if he fought one of them. I dont expect him to do it though

mosquera.....world champion rated #4 by the ring.....Valero won by KO...
pitalua......monstrous puncher doming off his biggest win(KO5 Santa Cruz) rated #5 by the ring(shoulda been higher)..........Valero won by KO.......

how is demarco a step up??/because youve seen im on showtime??DeMarco is #9 in the division....a prospect who was looking ordinary and having problems with journeymen before his last fight(in which he looked smart and impressive, but not really a monster)

the only step up for valero is the fact that demarco is probably the biggest fighter he's ever fought.....

valero will win by KO in 3

Good post!!!!!

Demarco has enough to strech out the fight with Valero and see how he does in the later rounds. I'm not sold on Valero yet, he leaves himself wide open for counters. If he fought a quality top opponent that can move a bit and a decent punch I would take him more seriously.

Yes, Valero leaves himself wide open when he starts throwing those wild shots, but the opposition, instead of taking a brief moment to stand and hit, is too busy covering up or running.

At the same time I'm really surprised that he hasn't been taught a "lesson" even for a few rounds, before he TKO's his opponent.

I think Manny would slaughter him, although he might change his style and be a bit more careful for Manny.

At the same time, I've watched a few of his fights, and have seen him hit squarely and strongly on the jaw, and he didn't even notice it......??

Sooooo... what might that signify......???

Manny would destroy cause he hits you on the counter so well in the pocket. Once his competition improves I guess we will find out. Don't get me wrong I'm hoping he is the real thing. It would make for exciting matches

[Titing Kabayo]

He might not even get past DeMarco.

This one, I might agree on you...

[Marciano90s]

yea would be a great card

This guy is an ass, claimed he can knockout Pac. Cotto will tear his dumb head off if he even gets into the welterweight divisions. I hope he will be TKO'd so he will realize what a joke he really is. I hate loud mouth jackasses.

The reason he said that is that he gave all Pac's sparring partners complete hell and when he sparred Pac, Pac changed his opinion of him being average.

He's not hype because he's knocked people out as much as his reputation in Southern Cal gyms where he's worked some very good guys.

He's fallen in love with his power, this is true, and has gotten reckless as hell at times, but it's worked so far.

As soon as someone makes him box, I am sure he will.

They just haven't done that yet.

I didn't realize he actually sparred Pacquiao. Was this publicized or just a rumor? Valero does have a reputation for destroying people in sparring but fighting drastically different in actual fights.

He reminds me of a southpaw Tszyu with more aggression and less technique. He can get away with it for a while because most B, B+ opponents don't deal well with powerful lefties but once he faces elite opposition he had better get his defensive game in order.

Demarco gets tired down the stretch and loses focus that is why he nearly lost to Jose Reyes and was thoroughly outboxed by Adjaho before the weird stoppage. Starting out slow against Valero is usually a big mistake. Once he sets the tone and aggression it's only a matter of time before you get caught with something.

His straight left to the body looks painful but he doesn't seem to use it much in favor of headhunting most times. He has already beat up Oscar who is similar in size to DeMarco and defensively superior despite being an orthodox boxer.

[mathed]

That wil actually be a great Idea. if he can finish Velazquez and De Marco without much problems.

a FIght with Him and Katszidiz or Soto will be a great undercard fight

either of those guys will beat Valero badly
