to be honest Valero had not even reached prime hard to measure because he never got the m,arquee fight to show what he had he may have turned out to be way better than we ever saw.
I'm not sure if under the same trainer DPDL was (Joel De La Hoya), but they were both under GBP at one time, and both bunked together at one time in Huntington Park. I met them both through DPDL's mistress, who I knew.
Valero would punish Freitas and then make that b*tch quit like any the other two fighters that did it.
I think Freitas wins this fight. Valero just had such a leaky defense. I don't think he faced anyone at all with talent, not sure. But from what I saw, he was very hittable and I think Freitas would have gotten to him first.
