Thread: Arum: Edwin Valero to fight Breidis Prescott on July 25... WOW!

Edwin Valero, THE RING's No. 3-rated lightweight, is close to completing a deal to face Breidis Prescott on July 25 in Mexico, promoter Bob Arum said.

The fight will take place in either Cancun or Toluca,which is near Mexico City, he said.

Valero (25-0, 25 knockouts) is coming off a sensational knockout of Antonio Pitalua to win the vacant WBC lightweight title on April 4 in Austin.

Prescott (21-0, 18 KOs) burst onto the international scene when he knocked out then-unbeaten Amir Khan in one round in September. On Feb. 20, he won by disqualification when Humberto Toledo bit him on the shoulder.

Valero and Prescott are a combined 46-0, with 43 knockouts.


AWESOME fight....

That is a great news. 'Hope it happens.

Where's your source man, I don't want to get excited about this, just to get dissapointed. Also isn't Valero still in the tournament?

Valero is a Top Rank boxer... He'll not be obliged to follow that GBP promoted lightweight tournament...

Actually there is a rule on here about posting sources, so the boss man doesn't get into legal trouble with other sites.

And it's not that I don't trust you, but I might not trust your source, in this case it is indeed credible. I still have looming questions about the LW tournament, has that been scrapped?

And vacation was nice thanks for asking.

Arum: Valero to fight Prescott

It come from a Ring blog, but they say the aricle comes from Deportes Meridiano OnLine - Caracas, 15 de abril del 2009 and it also says Valero's wife was shot in the thigh and the bullet exited by her ankle? I tried to find the article but it was already moved. With the translation it is difficult to search the site.

I like this matchup a lot. I think its a much better move to put him against a solid fighter before going after the more proven elite fighters. BTW boxrec says the fight is tentative for Mexico.

Guess Arum has a few marbles left after all .Nice match up,leaning to Prescott.I think both should just cut to the chase and fight Antillon now as opposed to later .
Prescott was working on his boxing-power game with the human land shark Toledo last fight out.Will have to be very smart here.So much for a Khan rematch.

exciting fight if it comes off. Y'see Amir that's how it's done....I'll shut up now for four or five posts

Thats a great fight right there. Somebody's getting brutally knocked out, I'm learning towards Valero.
