One of the wildest records Ive seen.

Jesus, that's crazy. Also, how is he allowed to box if he's really been K.O.ed 35 times? Isn't there a cutoff to try and prevent these ****ers from getting brain damage?

 

you would think he gets the message at some point.

 

No UNIVERSAL rules, regulations or protocol are set forth to prevent guys like Valenzuela from fighting (and getting KO'd repeatedly).

Many midwest and southeast (USA) commissions have lenient policies when it comes to which boxers fight in their state. Tennessee was/is notorious for allowing anyone to fight. Virginia was also notorious for allowing anyone to fight professionally.

Guys like Frankie Hines found these leniencies to their advantage.

Also, some boxers take fights on short notice, and they use that to bypass medical testing. Taking a fight on one or two days notice, arriving at the respective arena that late can be beneficial to guys like Valenzuela or Hines. Many commissions would rather have the show go on, than to halt a show because someone did not get their medical testing done.

 

I saw Roberto Valenzuela fight in 2006 at George Mason University against Dorin Spivey. I was covering the fights for a website and I heard a promoter saying how promoters love him because he'll show up anywhere for a fight and not ***** about anything. The knocked out a horse story - which apparently Duran did - also followed Valenzuela around too. He had legit power. It's a guy I've wondered what could have been down with had he had legit training over his career.

 

WOW...!!! I saw Valenzuela fight Paul Delgado in Georgia and the radio ad mentioned the Horse KO...!!!

Valenzuela is a boxing fan's boxer. He comes to fight, win or lose, and puts on a good show.

 

Wow respect indeed. He isnt fighting pushovers either, Dusty Harrison is destined for good things, seen his debut in person kid got talent

 

Jesus that guys got numbers everywhere

 

This is my fave record...................

Reggie Strickland will always hold the most impressive record to me.

 

Not really those 35 stoppage losses could have come from Ian John Lewis.....hence no stoppage needed.

 

Some horses got a big mouth.

 

Its crazy how this thread started 7 years ago and Roberto Valenzuela is still fighting at the age of 48. Fought a few months ago at cruiser now with a record of 68-80-2 55 KOs, career started in 1992.
