Do yall think the valero death could have affected antonio?

I dont think so unless he forged some friendship with him like if he beat Valero and things unfurled the same way then id say ya it probably did

I was really liking DeMarco, and then he shut down against Valero....

I still think Demarco can go on and do quite well for himself

it happens. Doesn't mean he isn't any less of the fighter we think he is

he faced a guy he had no idea how to deal with in Valero. Had not a single clue nor an alternate plan and simply froze

still a pretty damn good fight IMO.

He fought like he was scared to death of Valero in that fight. I expected at least something different

I think once he realized how overpowering Valero's aura was he pretty much got shut down psychologically.

Valero's warrior essence was too much for him.

This post is filled with win and the truth.

I dont look down at demarcos for losing to Valero, Valero was just something else i felt bad for demarcos when i heard they were going to pit him with Valero. The boy stood no chance its like throwing a 12 year old kid against a grown hungry lion or grizzly bear.

Valero is an ATG in my eyes.

Valero was so open man, but as you said...it happens. Just that I know DeMarco is ALOT better then that.

Valero just made him look bad because against anyone else and he would have come up on top that night. He took incredible amounts of punishment and didn't get KTFO. I'm glad their corner pulled him out because a KO was near to happening in the next couple of rounds.

DeMarco will have a good chance of winning against anyone else at 135lbs. In fact, he's probably the strongest 135lber now that Valero is gone. He has the chin, power, size and southpaw advantage over most at 135.

It was more of 'he wasn't even in the fight so they stopped it. He was never really that hurt.

Not really man, he never ran or anything. Never even attempted to get out the ropes. Just that he froze.

This is great news, I seen Tony fight on his first card on Showtime, and automatically followed his fights, he's one of my favs good to hear he's coming back strong

Dales duro Tony!

It was his most important fight to date so it wasn't like he didn't try to win. Everything he tried backfired and he got clobbered for his troubles. DeMarco looked like he was going to pass out after the 7th round. Even if you have a good chin you can still be stopped by accumulation of punishment like what Mosley did to Margarito. If it was Malignaggi hitting him he would have steamrolled him and not looked so confused in there.
