I brought my Edwin Valero Collection yesterday and eagerly could't wait to watch all his fights. After watching most his fights i have to say it was possibly the biggest anti climax ever. The man is CRUDE in every sense, sure he ko'd 18 guys in a row, but SERIOUSLY this man is going to get exposed big time. Put him in with some one like Marquez or Casamayor and we shall see. He has zero defense and head movement, can not judge the range for ****, his timing is aweful, is completely one dimensional, does not take any advantage of his south paw style, In fact half the time you can't tell he is a south paw most the time he stands so square when he throws his shots. Its not the first time i have seen Valero however i have seldom seen much improvement through his career. Shocking. Why is he so highly regarded? On a positive not he has raw power, someone check his gloves!!! I ain't no hater but this man is pure hype. Obviously he does have some talent as he is undefeated but at world class level he will be exposed.
He is highly regarded by those who look at his record and think he's amazing. Those of us in the know how, like you and I, understand that he's a one-dimensional fighter with no defence and wild sweeping shots, though apparently they have been a bit straighter recently. Good job the Pacquiao fight didn't come of, Pacman would of destroyed and retired him within 4 rounds. How many fights were in the collection out of interest?
Yeah I thought he was gonna be the next Duran until I watched a few of his fights on the internet. To put him in with Pacquiao at this moment would be giving him a death sentence, he has potential but a LOT to learn.
I have about 16 i think. Honestly he has not really improved at all. He fights the same way all the time. As for his record i could proberly wipe my arse with some toilet paper and it look better than his. I hope he fights someone of note because the man is seriously under false pretence's regarding his ability. He would not sweep away any opponent who had good foot work and average countering ability. Horrible fighter.
Valero is getting better with each fight. You youtube fans are talking about his early fights. Stop lying about this Valero collection you just got PAc fan lol. I can't wait to see if PAc-Valero comes off. It will be the end of the "old man fighting, inferior comp facing Pac!
Pac fan? LMAO. Stop trying to label me. Check my post never uttered Pac man's name in my threads. Unlike most boxing 'fans' on this **** i try to discuss topics which exclude, Mayweather, pacman, calzaghe and hatton. so jog on.....
Yes, due to his off-screen career and 100% KO record, he recieved extreme hype. Indeed he's very crude in his fights, but to his credit, according to several sources and camp notes, he's MUCH better in sparring. It's a mystery how his abilities stay in the gym, maybe he's in for the kill everytime he fights, but that won't work vs. someone like JMM. He sparred more than once with DLH in the last months (and was a former Golden Boy fighter before he moved to Japan) and was in camp looking for a deal as well, but didn't get one. The GBP HQ probably see him getting schooled in the near future. Rumors say that it wasn't Ortiz, but Valero who beat Oscar up in camp. Maybe that's why DLH said 'no, thanks'.
tyrone brunson is another middle weight who kO'd 19 taxi drivers in the first round in a row. Kelly pavlik would have probably did that in the same night as far as im concerned
Maybe that because every good boxer fights tomato cans in his first ~20 or so fights and just a few of them have KO ratio above 90%. So Valero having 100% KO ratio seems to be exceptional ... he still learn and develop his skills, he just need a good trainer ... stay away from MaGirt.
Valero K0 1 over Marquez Valero won't let him off the hook like Pacquiau did in their 1st fight! Valero kills Casamayor in the ring if they fought!
Brunson got exposed with the draw against that Italian guy. Valero will get similarly exposed when he steps up to face going world class competiton. I'd like to see him fight Humberto Soto, HS would kick his arse.
Have anyone noticed that Marquez hit the canvas in almost every mayor fight ... isn't that symptom of glass chin or what?
