I know the powerful Japanese promotional team behind him(I've forgotten their name at this moment) want to make him a star in the US,he is quite popular in Japan already so we can hopefully,look forward to seeing more of his fights. He and Edwin Valero are in the same promotional group,I wonder if they have sparred? I hope he rubs off on Valero,teaches him to clean up his technique!

Glad to see someone i backed succeed,feels good

Does Golden Boy have rights over him stateside?

El Gamo.... you called it... props to you man ... cause this guy is JUST AWESOME!!!
He just blew me away. I hope GBP doesn't mess this guy up in terms of development... I don't think highly of team GB... sure they get paid well... but their opposition is crazy! Perfect example....The moment Barrera signed with Oscar's new Promotional Banner... he faced Manny Pacquiao.



Alright.... I backed up Edwin and you Linares....
So one of these days these guys will face each other ... we'll see who wins. haha
(I might be rooting for your guy. haha)


I just assumed that he was friends with Edwin and moved there to get quality sparring.

I didn't think Japan had an eye for venezuela fighters ?

Anybody know the story behind this?
