on the castillo (jose luis's younger brother) undercard at the morongo.....it was his first 6 rounder and i heard it was a hell of a fight that could've gone either way...i didnt see it for myself ( i got caught up at work), but people were saying he won, but that the judges didnt enjoy his style too much....i guess he was outboxing him and slugging it out once in a while...josh hasn't answered my calls so i'm a bit worried about his way of thinking right now.....but that performance landed him a fight on the jose luis castillo undercard this saturday.... this is from FIGHTNEWS JOSH IS REALLY 5-1 WITH 5KO'S THOUGH....THEY HAVN'T FIXED THAT YET [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Valverde defeats Marks in a close one [/FONT] [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Christian Valverde (9-0, 4 KO's) won a split decision over Joshua Marks (3-1, 3 KO's) with scores of 59-55, 58-56 (Valverde) and 59-55 (Marks).

Damn... I Just Got A Call From Josh... He Told Me That The Other Guys Coach Came Up To Him After The Fight And Admitted That They Lost...it's ****ed Up, The Other Guys Coach Had It 5-1...the Whole Crowd Booed.... Josh Aint Mad, He Knows He Won...and Atleast He Got A Spot On The Castillo Undercard This Weekend.....
Ok, i remember now. You spoke of him previously. I am curious how his mental state is at the moment. Do you think he is mentally tough enough to absorb a defeat? some are not
he was cool... he knows he won so he wasn't that down...just a bit upset... and like i said, it landed him a pretty big fight this weekend...
Man that's messed up,I know he'll come back strong though. Just keep it movin. Next opponent is gonna feel it no doubt so let's pray for him. Keep it up Freddy...
Like Floyd said: True champions can bounce back from a loss. I am very confident if Josh doesn't give up and keeps on working he will have a very good career.
Im a bit suprised at the result, would love to see the fight, if you can get a vid:good So he lost!! 99.995 of the greatest who've ever done have lost:good Any chance of a rematch?
