What did you guys make of Edwin Valero? Ive been reading up on him for a while now and his life inside and outside the ring was fascinating...such a shame his life turned out the way it did, going out the way he did. 27 Fights 27 Wins 27 Knock Outs 0 Losses From the fights ive seen he looked great..fantastic on his feet, fast, sharp powerful punches, and he obviously had power in them shots.. How do you think his career would of went? Even the the whole muder of his wife and suicide is sketchy but thats a whole different story, strictly talking about his boxing career.
Never seen a guy score so many first round knockouts in so many different countries (fact). Apparently he used to pole-axe top class fighters in sparring as well (unsubstantiated rumour). May well have been something very special. The Americans would have sorted him out though. No way he leaves there with a win over Pacquiao. Bob would have made sure he weighed in a pound over.
Pretty sure it was true about the sparring thing,there’s a video with a famous boxing writer talking about being in the gym when he dropped two guys sparring. Great boxer but you could tell he had tragedy written all over him.
Hard to say if he was over rated his career was devastating but short.....I liked him very entertaining Fighter... Good Doco on Him here.. This content is protected
He sparred moreles in the lead up to his fight with pacquio. There is some footage on YouTube. I think he would of went on and mixed it with the best. Prob not winning all fights but still would of been a star in the us.
