Valero-DeMarco discussion/RbR thread!

I have heard about (but never seen) certain sparring sessions with high level operators where he has come out looking very good. Maybe he is just a bit power happy in the ring, relying on that rather than falling back on a decent boxing game. We certainly saw a bit more of this game in the longish contest against Mosquera.

 

cheers anyone know what time the adamek coverage starts at

 

I'm waiting to pick against Valero (and JML) but I'm not sure this is the right fight.

 

That fight was something else wasn't it??:bbb:bbb

 

Valero showed very good recovery against Mosquera when he got put down. I'm not sure he's been down against any of his other opponents. For instance Pitalau is a ferocious puncher, but couldn't hurt Valero whenever he landed.

 

Greg can be a bit of a "purist" sometimes.

(thats not an insult BTW greg!!)

...Despite his apparent confidence, DeMarco will be utterly battered by Valero.

Valero, a fighter who has allowed only five opponents to survive more than five rounds, is the greatest pound-for-pound power puncher since a prime Mike Tyson in the mid-1980’s.

 

edit

 

But from such a puncher, Valero didn't even look fazed by the cuffing blows. He just kept on coming through. I think that is his main asset, he can give a good punch and take a good punch.

We'll find out a bit tonight though. Apart from maybe Mosquera, this is his hardest fight. DeMarco isn't a mug.

 

"utterly battered" raised a smile here :rofl
