and may lose. He is fighting a very fast and skilled fighter in Nobuhito Honmo. This will be the toughest fight of his career imo and a true test. I dont think he can win a decision against this guy and unless he lands one of wide punches, I think he loses this one in a one sided affair.
CC bro for the 411 and the real talk!Quote:

So...
Just thought, isn't Joan Guzman Venezualan too? That would be a fun fight?
"His trainer, Yoshitami Tanaka, acknowledged Honmo had a tough task. He estimated his chance of winning at "maybe about the same as the consumption tax" -- or five percent."
Doesn't sound like he's the guy :-\
I really dont know to much about him but he beat some decent fighters, definately fought better competition than Valero. If that were my trainer though Id fire him.
he only has 5 kos tho? :-\

You seem to know more about Honmo than myself, i shouldnt post an opinion based on what ive read and Mosquera is a good figher and he gave Valero some serious trouble, but other than him Honmo will be the only notable guy on his resume. His last opponent shouldnt have even been in the ring. I just dont think it will take an excellent fighter to beat Valero, just a very durable one.Quote:

3-4 round ko Valero
are you kidding??? jaca just gave JMM all he could handle.. if jaca has power in his punches jmm could have hit the canvas a couple of times..valero would go to distance with jaca and maybe run out of steamQuote:

Valero won by TKO in 8 - not read any reports but Boxrec is updated
Valero keeps WBA 130lb belt!
By Joe Koizumi
Japan-based Venezuelan KO artist Edwin Valero (22-0, 22 KOs), 130, kept his WBA 130-pound belt as he kept stalking WBA mandatory challenger Nobuhito Honmo (29-5-2, 5 KOs), 129.5, all night, bloodied him by opening four lacerations and finally halted him at 1:54 of the eighth round on Thursday in Tokyo, Japan. Valero, a hard-punching southpaw, failed to drop the defensive and negative Japanese, but kept throwing punches from all angles to make it a very lopsided affair. Before the stoppage due to Honmo's bad bleeding, the official scorecards were: 70-63, 70-64 and 69-64, all for the defending champ. Valero is to fight his next bout in the US according to his promoter Akihiko Honda of Teiken Promotions. (More to come)
Valero pounded the crap out of him for 8 rounds, but could'n drop Homo. Finally stopped him in the 8th. Homo can's punch.Quote:

interesting CC for the updates bros! :-*
what does being a stamina freak do when a guy like jmm could outbox and counter the hell out of you and then have you sleeping by the 5th ??? Ponce De Leon is his best friend? is that suppose make him a better fighter? I just hope valero steps up his level of oppenent, ponce so far has because atleast he got a good fight with penelosa but he didn't seem such a stamina freak there with an old guy to fight.Quote:

I trust that you all understand Japanese ;D

So they stopped it on cuts...
Well it looked like Honmo was about to go down anyway... Soooo....
Also this clearly showed (for those are interested in a Pac vs. Valero fight) how overwhelmed Valero would be by Pacs speed. Valero in the begining looked almost lathergic to me I saw him at one point with his hands to his side as he came forward to Honmo now it could be that Honmo had 5 kos only but still not good habits to be picking up as you move up the latter.....
Looks like it was a good scrap, credit to Honmo for trading with Valero when he saw that they were thinking about stopping the fight.
Also note to Valero, if you have long hair chances are the hairs gonna get in your face throughout the fight. Heres a hint brade it or put it in a ponytail like you've done before. Moving hair out of your face during a world title fight only adds distraction. ;)

CC for the vid.

my first glimpse of valero. not impressed. heavy hands, but anyone at 130 will beat him.
they should let him fight h. soto so he can have a title also.
Thanks Gamo.Quote:

Thats if Rocky wins his next fight against Litzau conquerer Jose Hernandez.
I think Valero also has the goods to beat Alex Arthur.
I'd say Fighting Valero would be a step up for Rocky Juarez. What's not to like with a guy who can both box and pop. 22 ko's out of 22 fights is decent even against stiffs and I'm not sure these guys are stiffs. He reminds me of Fighting Harada, arguably the greatest Japanese fighter of all time, even if he is not Japanese. Clearly, he has studied films. Also, he is in fantastic shape. Boxers I have talked to and who have trained with him in LA say he is like a machine and never gets tired.Quote:
