All right I'm kind of looking forward to this so gonna go ahead and create the rbr/discussion thread and sticky it. Although I guess the chat room is gaining in popularity.
Anyway, any picks beforehand?
I'm gonna go the safe route and say Valero catches him at some point but it wouldn't break my heart if it turns out differently.
What's the undercard?
DeMarco is a good fighter. He's possess good skills. But he likes to trade. He's got the power to trouble Valero. And I am expecting him to go some rounds. But he ain't got the chin to take Valero's power. This could be a highlight reel knock out.
I got Gutierrez pulling off the minor upset on the under card.
demarco has improved a great deal. He will need to fight smart. I expect valero to try and jump on him early. If he survives that early pressure & he can get to work behind the jab it could get interesting.
The Abregu-Gutierrez fight is a round in on the undercard, I think this is a good fight, I'm with VD on the underdog pulling off the upset.
Anyone else watching this?
Anyobdy who can help a brother out with some linkage should pm a brother...:D
I've seen Abregu fight live on the undercard of Martinez-Bunema.
I was expecting more from him he didn't impress me as much live as on video...
He should be able to stop Gutierrez.
By the way I'm taking DeMarco to win...
Great fight so far, I'm gonna switch to the chat room nowQuote:

He's def. fighting better tonigh putting punches together and letting his hands go. Defense is a bit open but he's making the proper adjustments...
Any help gents? I always forget which board has the goods...
DeMarco's leg wobbles a bit there... Got caught with a left from Valero.
Valero's already bleeding from his nose and has a cut on his cheek from a punch...
Huge cut on Valero's forehead looks like they'll stop the fight...
DeMarco accidently elbowed Valero in the forehead...
They deducted a point from DeMarco.
Fight on...
Oh shit Valero's mouthpiece fly's the FUCK out!!!
They trade shots... DeMarco bringing it to Valero.
Wow! that was a good round. I think Valero won it because of the deduction...
Valero has another cut over his right eye also.
what rd is it?
Valero is the goods so far, he is looking like a decent boxer. Lets see if he gases.
Valero dominating DeMarco...
DeMarco looks done in the corner.
DeMarco's gonna quit I think...
DeMarco has a shot with that right hook counter, if he cant time it right. Valero is wide open for it when he comes in.
DeMarco looked done there in the corner, head down and just gasping for air. He had no desire to get back up.
How hard does DeMarco train? - I thought he looked wasted at the Darchinyan fight a few weeks back...
Quirarte pulls the plug on the fight...
Valero wins by TKO.
DeMarco was the one who ended up wilting, Valero looked like he could 12 no problem at that pace. DeMarco looked like he wanted to just pass out after the last round, good stoppage by the corner, he could have got really hurt if he went back out.
It's over. Demarco retires after the 9th.
Wow - Graham Houston right on the money,
EDWIN VALERO vs ANTONIO DeMARCO | FightWriter
Kudos to Valero...that fight could have been stopped and nobody would have objected. Thought he did very well. He has great reflexes, Demarco did land the cleaner shots, but man Valero is just a force. I just wish Valero would put up his fucking hands. Toot Toot anyone want to join me on the Valero hype train, love the guy...almost as much as the Showtime team. Gus went ooooo a few times think he had to change his drawers
I was pulling for Demarco when the fight started....Never really saw Valero too much and thought maybe he was over hyped, seemed to have alot of out of the ring issues (I now hate Doug Fischer and the ring so I was going to take it out on Valero and hope he lost), Didnt look too impressive in round 1 than in round 2 he starts complaining about an elbow and I am thinking this guy is a bltch.......Than I see the cut and I said Holy Sht this is going to be ended.......No quit in Valero...the guy turns it up a notch...and just keeps going, (When a guy gets a cut like that and keeps going you have to pull for them) I thought he would tire out but the guy is an animal....I dont know if it was round 8 or so when Demarco started to come on and Tony ran into a huge left and that nipped his little rally in the bud....
I was impressed with Valero, the guy is a no nonsense fighter, with good movement and defense (not some over hyped silver spoon btch like Victor Ortiz).......I cant wait to see him again....
Valero is now one of my favorite fighters, he's a fucken wild man! He had a worse cut then Barrera did and still mowed down a decent opponent in Tony DeMarco. Shit, he's a demon in the ring with a better crafted all around game then we had seen previously.
The whole fight is on Youtube, if anyone is interested...

Valero really impressed me, first real glimpse of his natural skills in action. He didn't take as many shots as usual, was patient, and showed some really slick reflexes. Makes me think he can lift his game to match that of his opponents without trouble...
Valero vs. Katsidis anyone? :cool: What a tear up that would be for the short time it lasts before Valero probably knocks him out.
