Brandon Rios vs. Edwin Valero

[any craic lad?]

Valero being the urban legend-perfect-record-KO-machine will always be a bit overrated, but he was skillfull and he had power on both hands and was very fast. He was as powerfull as Rios, you can ask Antillon.

I think that Valero's offence is widely overrated as his defense is widely underrated. He was a demented brawler in Japan because he would get paid extra for 1st round KOs. Once he was past the 19 KOs in the st round we began to see how he was able to pick his shots and paw away punches as well as ducking and slipping. Too bad he's dead now.

I too have Valero on a pedestal and I think he would have been very dangerous for Rios, specially with those nasty body shots where Rios seems to be more affected.

Top post.His skills were so underrated pretty quick,brillant combo puncher,mentally tough,good foot movement,good stamina and good power (not the same as 130 but still a good puncher.He did have some bad habits though pure head hunter,breathing out through his mouth and his hands held low.I got Inca by a tough but clear ud.

Valero would have steamrolled him. Those hands were meteors when thrown. Then add he had this crazy fearlessness in the ring and would throw down regardless of his condition. It was like, him getting tired didn't effect how he threw punches. Rios would have got ktfo.

Hozumi, Linares, Valero. My trifecta. Fan of these guys before they got hyped on Bscene. Hell, I started their hype trains.

Rip Valero.
