Thread: Not impressed with Valero

Just watched the valero fight against Pitalua ( a 39 year old who? ) I was not impressed with his skill at all! This dude might hit hard but he won't survive against some top opposition like JMM or Pacman or Hatton. He is wide open, and stands very square. I can't wait for someone good to expose his ass.

Where the phuk does Hatton fit in your post? Since when have either of the Hatton's ever faught at 135?



Antonio Pitufo was ranked # 5 by the ring and had been on their top 10 list for 28 weeks. (Yes I called him Pitufo)

It should be interesting to see just how much dynamite Valero has against some of the following fighters listed below.

For those of you who don't know what a Pitufo is weeell it's just this...
...It's a FUCKIN SMURF lol don't think bad guys

It is hard to tell how good Valero is becase he knocks these guys out some dam quick.....

He definitely has the power and it seems he would give anyone fits because of that..

Skill can be developed, speed and power is innate. VALERO has TONS of speed and power, I am sold!!! He definitely is special

The biggest improvement was his hand speed. I remember the watching his fights in Japan and he was slow as sloth. Only raw power and you still doubt it because he was against fighters you have a record like 2W-23L-14D,9NC

He's not tested yet. And what I meant by that is he never fought a high caliber opponent. Right now, he's all about hype imo. I'm difinitely impress with his god gifted power. But his speed is mediocre. Most of his victories were from early rounds. Can he keep up his tempo/speed through 12 rounds? What if he gets cut badly in the eyebrow in early rounds?.. Will he make it through last round with one eye?

I'm not quite sold about his speed, stamina, and his HEART. For me, Valero is just a stalker with amazing power and will get exposed by someone like Pac, JMM, or even MAB.
