Its a real step up for Valero to test the waters against a very solid fighter at 140 like Peterson, so if he does it he deserves alot of credit for the risk. -

wow, thats actually a pretty good fight, so we can see how valero does at 140. But if Tim Bradley knocked Peterson down, then I guess Valero just knocks him outComment

I like this fight A LOT for both guys. Peterson has a chance to prove himself again and the kid can box. Valero loves to fight and does carry the pop to hurt. This fight reminds me so much of Pacquiao/Marquez. I mean fucking identical style matchups. Peterson being leagues ahead of Valero in boxing skills just as Juan was against Manny. And Valero and Manny possessed the desire and power to hurt the boxers. These guys even fight like each other. Damn good fight here IF it goes off.Comment
