Not impressed with Valero

[fan johnny]

I don't know what you guys are talking about. Pitalua was suppose to be Valero's test. Until this fight Valero has not fought in the US since 2003. He's accomplished a lot with very little ring experience, because he keep knocking guys out. Mosts guys with 25 fights have 3 times the ring experience of Valero. With this win he will gets an alphabet and some serious attention. I think a good move for Valero would be Diaz or Funeka and both are available.

If Marquez wants to stay busy while he is waiting for a Mega fight to line up then why not face Valero? The unknown is always a big risk and we have seen young up and coming fighters take out seasoned veterans before when they weren't suppose to. It would be another alphabet for JMM....but GBP ain't going to do that because its about the money at this point.

The fight I'd like to see Valero take on would be Guzman.

There were times when Wilfredo Gomez was wide open, and his power and skills still won the day. I think Valero appears to be wide open, but he also seems to hit too hard and is a little too quick to be countered routinely so far. If he's sparred with guys like Oscar De La Hoya and Morales, and it sounds like he has held his own.

It's quite difficult to make a very good impression in 3 minutes and 49 seconds... Too short of a time span...

I saw more technique in his style than most.

He's got quick feet and that knockout was from a combination afterthought.
He could have knocked him out in the first, but he knew this opportunity was not to be taken for granted. Took his time and it still happened so fast. When he smells blood, it's over. Rolando Reyes, the same thing. These guys would be great for each other.

I don't think Pitalua qualifies as a serious test to see if he can handle elite fighters and I wouldn't rush him into fighting somebody like JMM just yet. Maybe somebody like David Diaz next. He's great to watch though, I'd love to see him go on a tear over a couple of weight divisions. But that chin doesn't half stick out a lot.

Valero and David Diaz are friends...

I think Valero loves to knock out JMM more ...

being friends has nothing to do with anything

Trindad/Jones Jr are friends and i've seen Jones with Trinidad plenty of times at the cock fights
and there have been plenty of other fights between friends

as for JMM Vs Valero, i'd say that Marquez would most likely outbox him and counter him all night

Valeros def. put himself in the spotlight now.

Things are heating up in the divisions at 135 & 140.

For those who are asking how Valero will handle going deep into a fight (Although this was 3 yrs. ago) he went to the 10th round vs. Mosquera who IMO is/was a top opponent and champ at that time. Mosquera also knocks Valero down in the 3rd round.
I think the fight is on YouTube for those who have not seen it.

Jaz & TerribleMorales you guys should know by now that SaddoBoxer just likes to post whatever thoughts pop into his head without regards to the comments being crazy or randome or not.
