This Saturday on Showtime!! How does the Brit Forum see this one going? :think This is DeMarco's win over Adjaho last year: [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9DmE5ZK_Wc[/ame] This is Valero's Lightweight title winning effort against Pitalua: [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Rl6JS0mi0w[/ame] Real pick 'em IMO.
I think DeMarco is going to pull off an upset here. He's a decent clever boxer and Valero is there to be outboxed IMO.
If DeMarco weathers the storm its his but Valero will be going for the kill with every shot. Not 100% sure yet will give DeMarco another look
Exactly this :deal Valero in 3 or DeMarco anywhere after that. I'm not big on Valero but not sure whether DeMarco is the one to 'show him up'. But, he's looked pretty decent in the two fights I've seen of him, so I'm going for the upset; DeMarco in 7.
I fancy a shock here. It's a pick em but i saw Demarco box beautifully against Kid Diamond and i think he can shock the world and beat Valero by stoppage late on...got a feeling Valero will catch him go for kill...messy finisher doesn't finish job exerts a lot of energy..gets tired late on and Demarco takes him out with a short right hook counter.
I'm going for Valero by ko. Valero is certainly open to being out-boxed but I don't think DeMarco is the guy to expose his limitations. DeMarco is a nice boxer (the most skilled boxer Valero will have faced) but I think he's a little too hit-able. This hasn't been that much of a problem so far but against Valero it's going to cost him. Every time I've seen DeMarco, he does enough to win without ever looking a level above his opponents. This could just mean he boxes to the level of his opposition, in which case he could spring the upset. More likely, he's a good/very good fighter who just isn't good enough to ever be the top guy at 135.
