I see the late Edwin Valero's brother won his third fight tonight and is now 3-0 with three ko's all in the first round!
Not seen him fight, in fact I didn't know he even existed until 5 mins ago but I will hope that has somehow got some of his brother's power and ability.
He's certainly started well.
He won tonight in 39 seconds.
I genuinely thought this was going to be a thread about David Lemieux.
Whenever I hear or think about Valero, I got this awful feeling. Such a tragic story.
Hopefully he'll be a bit more mentally stable than his brother. I didn't know he existed either, will definitely keep an eye out for him in the future
I saw the footage, he's fast and very powerful, not a complete copy but he seems to have that mean streak also. I read he punched his brother Edwin out in an argument but I don't know if it's true. He fights just like him though, it's a bit strange to watch.
I also though it would be someone else. The kid has long way to go. but he definitely has that familiar strong punch of Edwin.

Great videos guys. Wow that is in an uncanny similarity :o
I'm actually excited by that, and hope that somehow Edwin's warrior spirit (if not murderer spirit) lives on in his brother and in a couple years time we will have another Valero approaching 18-0 with 18 first round KO's.
Sounds like a long shot, but the way they seem to be marketing suggests they have exactly the same idea too.
I wouldn't be that surprised if he bangs out a few consecutive first round wins for a while.........
For a couple of seconds, I was exactly thinking the same too.Quote:

He's like a carbon copy of his brother.
I think he's slightly faster a bit more wild with wider shots but he actually put his hands up and blocked shots also showed some really good waist movement.
What people? Too soon? ;DQuote:

That makes three of us.Quote:

With as many belts floating around the chances are really good.Quote:

I agree I want to see more of him...
He looks completely terrible in that one vid embedded, if he weren't fighting a complete nobody he'd be a first round KO victim!
Damn valero could have been a fantastic tune up fight for pac! The danger is spilling all over.. valero got nothing to lose im sure he will bring hell to pac for the first 6 rounds.

I'm not too sure about how much trouble he would have given Pac, that's his kind of fight.
Remembering Valero reminds me of what could have been though, like JMM vs. Valero which was very possible.
IMO JMM vs Valero wouldn't have been much more different than Marquez KatsidisQuote:

Lets see if this bro can be something Edwin could have been. Based on that vid he is very similar ( apart from the stance ) but I'll be looking forward to seeing him go on in his career after a couple more years of blowing away bums.
The new Valero looked pretty good to me. Quick hands, aggression, speed, reflexes. Cant judge him too much on that display apart from how he got it done which was was impressive.
Except if Valero caught him clean like Kats did he would have been counting ceiling tiles :-\Quote:

As described in the 2010 Ring Almanac Valero is a Murderous puncher, I think Valero has "that" type of power than when he hurts you you're pretty much done. I would not say Maequez can't beat him but Valero is so much better than Katsidis.Quote:
