Comments Thread For: Edwin Valero-Antonio DeMarco: The Pre-Fight Report Card

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Cliff Rold - He can punch.

Can he fight?

That’s the question, the big question, still looming over hardcore phenom Edwin Valero. The Venezuelan is boxing’s answer to Kimbo Slice, a YouTube sensation, but with substance. Much of his competition has been there to get run over but in the rare glimpses against proven world class fighters, the result has been the same.

Knockout.

By all rights, Valero should have been a fully proven (or unproven) commodity years ago. Medical questions stemming from head injuries suffered in a motorcycle crash stymied his growth as a professional. Unable to fight in the U.S., Valero took his show on the road, building a cult following and the buzzing question of when he’d be on U.S. screens. [Click Here To Read More]

Any1 else think de marco looked a bit emaciated at the weigh in??....his eyes looked a bit sunken......not good


I got Valero by UD or brutal KO

[The Dreamer]

DeMarco is tall for a LW. It's hard not to look emaciated weighing in at 135 at his height

Demarco needs to keep the fight on the outside Try to outbox valero and use his reach to have a good chance of winning, but more than likely since the fight is in his home country he more than likely will play to that crowd to show how tough he is and prob force the KO While trying to exchange too much to win the belt. it will be his demise and valero will land those bombs.looking forward to it

Umm funny youre a boxing anylist but you don't even mention the possibility of demarco knocking out valero. Remember valero has a weak chin on the mosquera fight not only was he dropped once in the third round but he was hit flushed in a couple of rounds valero wobble and felt it imagine if demarco does that?? now not only did mosquera approach valero with the most ******est gameplan that was brawl with him since the bell rang.

I mean youre an anylist and should know that granted you do mention he got floored but you seemed biased towards valero. Youre scenarios are correct either one can happen it can be demarco UD, valero early ko or late stoppage or a KO by demarco is funny you don't mention that as a possible outcome.

There are alot hyped boxers in this sport with not that good of chins gamboa, lopez, khan, valero and a few others when one of those boxers faces a more evenly matched up fighters that can be the outcome it happened to khan already lopez almost got stopped by a not really good opponent gamboa has been dropped to many times for a top prospect and valero he got dropped already. So I wouldn't be surprised if valero gets dropped or gets tko by demarco.

I am glad Cliff brought up the point that Valero has faster hands.

He's not the better boxer, but he can get there in a hurry, much quicker than DeMarco can.
