^I dunno about that, what I do know is that Clottey is one tough Ghanian motherf***er. He'll give Pac all he can handle I'm sure which I'm afraid may affect his future fights (ala Cotto-Margarito).
Galing ng laban ni Valero against De Marco. Nag ala ODLH si De Marco, di na tumayo papuntang 10th rd. Di na nakaya yung bugbog. Nakita natin na may depensa at galaw si Valero although marami pang room for improvements pero maganda pinakita niya. He can box. Kahit pumutok yung kilay niya dahil sa unintentional elbow hit ni De Marco.

i was not able to watch the fight but based on what i've read a while ago, valero can now punch in different angles. marami na daw ang nag improve sa kanya. sana maipakita sa ch.9 yung laban. he is still aiming for a pacman fight but he is not rushing things daw. he wants to clean his division before a potential match with manny. but i think it will not happen since manny said that he will be retiring soon to pursue his political career. gusto nya na ding umakyat sa 140 kasi nahihirapan daw sya magbawas ng timbang sa 135.
i would like valero to square up with these guys
1. katsidis - for sure allout fireworks to. from round 1 eh siguradong bugbugan na. i think valero will win this one.
2. juan diaz - he gave marquez one hell of a fight but still im going for valero.
3. juan manuel marquez - marquez for the win.
^yep dude, not just he doesn't punch wildly anymore but he also got a tight defense that night too. I dunno if that's got anything to do with his opponent but damn, nagpakilala talaga si Valero sa US audience kahapon.
I would like to add Guzman the poor man's Floyd and Soto the tough journeyman among his possible future opponents.
valero's face was a bloody mess as what ive seen in the picture. in round 2 or 4 yata natangal ang mouth guard nya dahil sa tama ni de marco. now valero is talking. hindi na mga tuktuk drivers ang pinapatulog nya. nag level up na. mga bus driver naman ang sinasagasaan nya ehehe.
if he's given more attention and exposure, for sure baka pati mga piloto eh kaya na nyang pabagsakin
maraming writers ang fan ni valero. one of them is doug fischer of thering. one writer even predict a KO victory for valero agaisnt khan if ever they will match-up in the ring. but i bet roach will have a better game plan to beat this guy. antillon was KOed by valero during their sparring. hindi to nagawa ni manny sa sparring nya with antillon. kaya ibang klase tong taong to.
i hope na mabigyan ng break tong si valero just like manny. if manny retires there is a possibility that he will go up in the P4P rank.
i watched the previous fights of valero and his defense is funny. but with this last win of his, i think he's done a lot of training to improve this chink on his armor.
i do hope too that valero gets more exposure in the future.
i still think he looks like a geezer though.

i don't like saying 'i told you so' because i hate it when i'm right
^yeah, I thought I'm the only one who thinks he's one ugly mofo, who got more uglier with his stupid tattoo on his chest but I guess I'm wrong lol.
He's fighting smart and slick that night so i've got nothing but praise for him.
I love reading Doug Fischer's articles because he's one of the most sensible and unbiased writers around but I'm gonna cut him slack for this as his boy was spot on his performance yesterday. He's been a nuthugger since Valero became a Youtube sensation.
- somebody with a bigger punch than demarco would have won that fight, he wasnt able to hurt valero and was seem to just relied on landing a big one that would end it.
- demarco no lateral movement. he just stood in front of the beast, he kept his guard up after throwing jabs but he was stationary target.
- instead of ducking the punches he shouldve moved to the sides or stepped back instead. ducking used more of his stamina being the taller fighter. those legs of him couldve been used more. and when he ducks, he just stood straight up again where he often gets caught with the follow up punches. duck, weave to the side. use the legs.
- he let valero start first.
- he stayed off the ropes but its actually in the middle of the ring where he got punished, like i said stationary target.
- valero, his guard was always down. bradley could exploit that.
- liked it when he follows up the punches
- got good speed.
- big ugly cut!!!
