Its an accident. . as the fighters move forward with their punches, redirected, Valero got nailed with an elbow :yikes . . watch the replay.
If I heard you say this in person and had reasonable suspicion that you were serious I would kick your ass myself, drag you outside, and curb stomp you. Seriously, you can easily see in the replay that it was a normal left coming in, and Valero parried the glove back toward DeMarco, which caused the elbow to follow through and clip him. If Demarco could do that on purpose, he would be some kind of ninja. No heart? He was taking a beating and he KNEW it from the scorecards being announced. His corner kept asking him if he wanted to quit, so he had to know something was wrong. He knew he was going to lose, and in the last 2 or 3 rounds he attempted to come forward and throw every last thing he had at Valero. If you think he doesn't have any heart, you've never taken a sustained beating like that and felt the effects of it. I've taken 1/50th of that sort of beating before. You feel like the end of a bad night out, and you feel sick and helpless. Now multiply it by 50 and maybe it comes close to approaching how he must have felt in there. And he probably didn't know he had cut Valero right away. Of course he's going to go after him, but you notice he doesn't actually try to hit him. you're a ****.
Didn't you see how Valero's counter punch bent DeMarco's arm? If Valero hadn't stuck his hand out there, it would have been a clean punch.
Hogwash. There was contact mid punch which redirected DeMarco's shot. It was clearly accidental. Also, any fighter would/should go after another fighter who let their guard down. "Protect yourself at all times."
Is this a joke? Valero's glove clearly stops DeMarco's during an overhand left and causes his elbow to come forward.
Thanks a lot for the gif. You need to be blind not to notice the backhand motion of the forearm once the elbow makes contact. You can practice this move in the gym to make it look unintentionnal. DeMarco = dirty ****er This content is protected
Dude, you are really going out on a limb here. Do you think you can practice having your opponent throwing a punch at the same time and your gloves colliding in order to make your forearm execute a "small backhand motion"? Their gloves collided around DeMarco's head... tell me how can that be planned.......Unless, of course, you think Valero was in on it?
You don't throw an overhand shot by leading with the elbow. If as you say gloves collided (which i don't deny) the deflected forearm doesn't remain flexed but gets extended somewhere in front of you. Here the forearm remains flexed after the initial swing motion, then DeMarco extends it in a backhand motion. Frazier was a specialist in elbows
Their gloves collided. His elbow came forward. It's inertia. How in the world do yo think DeMarco choreographed that?
