Edwin Valero vs Manny Pacquiao

[domzkidot]

valero telegraphs his punches and throws them wide, before he can wind it up he'll be hit by 3 of pac's power punches

i dont think so... as of now Valero isnt yet tested... he still very raw. i want to see him fight Guzman or Barrios if he really deserves fighting Pac.

His stamina is his biggest problem.

give me some of that acid....just curious of what you saw in that WBA 130-lb championship fight (well, if you really saw that fight )....and which channel was it shown in Cebu?

lol... just some highlights of the fight shown in a japanese channel. Valero was breathing heavily through his mouth.

Valero fights exclusively in South America, whereas Pacquiao has staged fights in his native Philippines and US. Valero would have to go to Manila to defend his title if this fight were to take place, and Im not sure that he would be willing to make the trip around the world to face a guy he probably can't beat.

I'm sure he'd be willing to go fight in Manilla since two of his last five fights took place in Japan (since his return, he's fought 1 in France, 1 in Argentina, and 2 in Venezuela, and 2 in Panama). Also, his promoter is based in Japan so I'm sure he'll be willing to fight in Manilla.

However, I doubt Pac is looking to make this fight. The risk/reward is not in his favor and he's just looking for big money fights before he retires.

Valero was impressive in his first real step up in competition, but Mosquera and Pac are two VERY different opponents. Valero WAS tired in the third round, you could see he was breathing heavily out of his mouth. He did come back strong which shows he has heart, but his stamina or strategy should change. By trying to get guys out of there too fast he can tire himself out. IF this fight ever did come off I favor Pac HEAVILY. Pac is a much much stronger puncher than Mosquera and Pac has a pretty good chin (better than Mosquera's). This could be an interesting and exciting fight but I like Pac by KO/TKO (6th or 7th round).

They are both big puncher and they both carry a one punch that can change everything. The big difference is Pac has lightning handspeed and now his right hand is just as potent. And Pac is a better boxer than Valero.
