Comments Thread For: Timothy Bradley-Edwin Valero, Arum Eyes The Fight

[z0jo]

I see this as a true 50-50 fight, but what a fight it will be. may the best man win

[revs1227]

Don't you wanna see you fav fighter tested ?

Fight the best ?

yea but losing 2 bradly would kill bigger fights 4 him
no way he can ko bradley
anyone els @ 140 he has a shot of koing

if Katsidis can't get a fight with JMM, maybe Valero could fight him for the vacant WBO Lightweight title

then if he really wants to, move up to 140. IMO Edwin should target another belt at Lightweight.

Valero was begging for water last nite. He needs to move up. But fighters being moved up in weight rapidly by taking on the weakest champ of the division is nothing new. Its all smoke and mirrors in this sport most of the time.

But I like this matchup though and bradley will take it for the right money.

Juan Ma Lopez is a good example of that.

Wait a minute...Tim Bradley was being talked about as an opponent for Floyd. People were saying Floyd was cherrypicking a smaller guy to fight. Now Arum is saying a fight between Pacquiao and Valero would be unbelievable? Fu*&ing unbelievable if I read that correctly. And some people agree with him. How is that a good fight? Valero is a LIGHTWEIGHT! If he fought Pac he would be a blown up lightweight. Talk about hypocrisy!!!!!!

valero is way small to fight at 140.bradley is too big...anyway i want see valero katsidis before he goes up to 140

Bradley is 5'6" and Valero is 5'7".

No Way Jose

Idk, gotta see more from Valero. As of now I think he would lose a close decision 2 Bradley. It'll be a scrap though.

I like the idea of Valero testing himself if he looses a close fight they can do it again and build each other up if he wins a close won the same **** could happen. This is how Marquez/Vazquez broke into the top 10p4p. Don't be so sure Bradley won't go down his chins been cracked before. I would pay ppv for this fight its like watching a young PAC vs a young PBF.

You stating you don't think the fight will even be close, is foolish and lets me know, just how much you know.

Not many fighters can average 96 over 9 rounds even if their opponent was right in front of them. Valero did that all while dodging any attack that DeMarco tried to mount.

It's funny how you say Valero would be this or would be that when he's barely lost any rounds in his career.

Valero's been hurt and down before only to be in control for the entire fight after it... So has Bradley... Or have you forgot Kendall Holt dropping him bad in the first and again in the last?

Unlike most I've seen more than 2 of Valero's fights, so I'm not just gonna over or under rate him. When you see that the fight is actually closer than you thought, you'll remember this post.

I have seen plenty of valero's fights. i wasn't impressed with him before this fight because in most of the fights I've seen he fights a sloppy wild fight (swinging wildly trying to land anything & depending on his power way too much) even in this fight DeMarco still landed PLENTY on valero. in the 1st round he cut valero with a punch (and then the elbow cut came) valero fights with his hands DOWN coming straight at you.

Bradley fights with his hands up chin tucked and body positioned to slip a punch. (this is a bad style for valero to start off with) bradley is EXTREMELY more faster then demarco (it seriously is night and day) he's also very "busy" and durable. he's fought top fighters and proven himself multiple times.

also, i am not sold on valeros power vs bradley. a fighter such as bradley is very trained. fighters such as bradley will be able to deal with his power and keep it moving for 12 rounds without looking back.

my point was valero has been hurt by guys that had no business hurting him. (because of his style of fighting)

bradley was hurt in only one of his fights against a taller guy with better reach. (and this was no bum whats so ever in holt) who is a natrual counter puncher.


but that was still a pretty easy UD for bradley.

I see Bradley slipping loads of punches while countering and outworking valero for a UD. i don't see the fight being "CLOSE" as in a close or split decision. i see a pretty comfortable UD for Bradley.

I'm just shocked that anyone wouldn't be able to see this before it actually happened.

*DeMarco still landed PLENTY of unnecessary punches on valero*

is what i tried to say.
