Edwin Valero

[Hulk]

He's fighting Presscot on the 25th of July.

Should he win that I hope he gets a shot at Marquez. That would be a great fight. I know most would have Valero as a big underdog in that fight personally I think he knocks Marquez out inside 8 rounds.

Thats a bold prediction.

Marquez is struggling these days. Casamayor went to war with him, Diaz had the upper hand early, he's old, he's out of his weight class (Valero yes but he's younger and will adapt better) and he's battle worn.

I can remember him struggling to get Jimrax Jaca out of there and he's lost virtually every fight since to nobodies.

Him and Valero will slug it out as Marquez knows no other way, (not nowadays at least, earlier in his career he was more of a boxer) and Valero will be too quick, too strong and too hungry.

The ref or his corner will save him around the 8th round, probably in between rounds.

Casamayor is a great fighter though. There's no shame in having a close fight with him.

And maybe Jaca was ruined by Marquez thats why he keeps losing now. Thats a possibility.

I assume that you believe Valero's power is for real and that is a big factor in you sayin he'd stop Marquez, right?

Also I admit I was surprised how much trouble he had with Diaz early. He got rocked. And I was rooting for Diaz.
