Two very gifted southpaws with a career that was left unfulfilled due to their out of the ring problems. You have the slick stylist against the aggressive power puncher. How do you see this match up go at lightweight? Does Spadafora outbox Valero or could Valero stop Spadafora at some point in the fight? This content is protected This content is protected
Might have to pick Valero. I don't think Spadafora had the power to keep Valero's respect and could end up being forced to fight Valero's fight. Valero was also an underrated boxer himself and he displayed some good boxing skills against another southpaw in Antonio DeMarco.
Paulie fought slightly better opposition. Difficult to determine where Valero's career was headed because he was unproven against next level competition. I might favor Paulie by SD in a close fight.
