Edwin Valero vs Nobuhito Honmou

[@owlcu]

I'll tell you right now, that Japanese guy was a badass for standing in there that long. He was fighting one of the scariest men on the planet but he he didn't back down and actually attacked and hurt Valero many times. Respect.

[@jorgecoellochafloque755]

[@henrybrowne7248]

Yes! I noticed that too, though I only watched one round. The simple fact that it was round 6 was already impressive, as all of the Valero fights I've watched so far, went at most 2. I love this guy Valero, never even heard about him while he was alive . . What a tragic loss for boxing.

[@henrybrowne7248]

OK, now I've finished viewing. Honmou was still in this fight; he even popped Valero a couple times, which just made Valero madder, but of course the cut stopped it. It's not inconceivable that Honmou even win a rematch, though it probably wouldn't be by KO. He lacks power.

[@Eduardolopeztoledo-yb5hf]

no exageren , un boxeador de elite lo noquea no tiene buena guardia, golpea nomas arriba, es frontal, siente un golpe y retrocede, no busca un intercambio de golpes.​@@henrybrowne7248

Viva Valero y Venzuela por todo lo alto, producto Venezolano...ガンバレ！

[@ANDRESOTE90]

Valero no se dejó joder ni por los japoneses jajajaja

[@meximexico745]

Pero perdio el combate mas importante de su vida : asesinar a su mujer,caer en el alcohol y las drogas.Y encima de todo,huyendo de la justicia suicidandose......

[@fishorchicken1]

日本のテクニシャン。最高に尊敬している

[@AuthenticSelfGrowth]

Valero looks like he puts everything into every punch. I bet his jab even hurts. The japanese guy fought well though. Shame it got stopped on a cut!

[@cotumarre]

Este hombre de verdad que debe pegar duro, el japoner tenia la cara reventada desde temprano en la pelea, mas bien aguanto mucho y llego lejos. El Venezolano no tiene buen boxeo, pero con esa clase de pegada creo que va a llegar lejos. SI lo pulen y le arreglan el estilo y la tecnica creo que podria llegar muy lejos. Soy boricua por cierto, no vallan a decir que estoy parcializado por el Venezolano. El hombre es pedante, pero de que pega pega

[@lustinorodriguez9522]

Si

[@rafaelindeluzmex1747]

​@@lustinorodriguez9522 Ya murió Valero. No está Vivo compa.

[@valentinvaldes5963]

Dicen q Valero noquiaba en el primer asalto y vi a muchos q pasaron del primero

[@SomeCasualGuy]

I find it more fascinating that Yahoo just posted the article about him and suddenly everyone from across the world found themselves to this video. I'll rate that 5 stars. I'll rate this video 1.

[@tmrwic]

I think Honmou gave Valero's handlers a scare here. The man fought gallantly and connected a few counter-punches. I agree that if only had a combination in his arsenal, he might have won. Valero, as you've said, was quite tired. I also don't like Valero's cheap shots on Honmou's body each time they would entangle. I would have reprimanded him if I were the ref.

[@lacombly]

valero is a strong puncher no doubt! he has a great chin and stamina! and if someday pacman will fight him,he must improve his defence and head movement,coz pacman you name it he got it!!! m not saying valero has no chance in winning againts pacman?coz in boxing anything can happen! but for now in valero style? his verry lucky if he survive at round 3...no offence to valero he has alot to improve in style.he is a good family man,m a filipino he is one of my favorite boxer.peace

[@j2dar04]

EV is an exciting FIGHTER . he looks to finish fights on his own instead of with judges . Ill look forward to all his fights in the future .

[@wilmenzarraga9799]

Ese edwin valero era un toro

[@booopdooop]

I think you have to give Honmou credit in this fight, Valero never looked like he was going to knock him out, but for the stoppage i think it would have gone to points. No disputing the win for Valero though.

[@bardarians]

Ali was in a class of his own to use that as an example. I agree his defence is ok because majority of his fights are ko first rounds but when he will face a long reach with a deadly left hook and can take punches and also has greater exp lasting 12 rounds, it becomes a big question whether he can defeat his next opponent.

[@Claymaker13]

total 25 wins 25 KO 25 his name is edwin valero...

Este tipo era un bárbaro

[@AtlantaSportsFan]

this guy does have the world record for most consecutive 1st round knock outs though

[@Noobcs]

His defence is OK, you don't need to put your dukes up unless the opponent is 2 ft away from you, if you are say that he has no defence watch muhammad ali's fight he also always had his duke upto his chest length, what matters most is speed and stamina, Prescott and valero will be a good fight.

[@galaxy7192]

Super, Ringrichter der achtet sehr gut auf die Boxers.

[@TheCombatHouse]

gamboa vs valero. who would win ?

[@pugilist102]

Are people still talking about Pac vs Valero? Those two names should not be mentioned in the same sentence. Completely different class fighters.

[@germanmedina321]

Valero uno de los mejores!

[@yasmany3876]

Valero el mejor

[@kingbortot]

Esta gente que escribe aqui en ingles no tienen ni idea de boxeo, puedo entender que una pelea con Pacman "si es que se da ya que pienso que a Pacman no le conviene ese riesgo" no es una pelea facil, pacman tiene experiencia... Pero por favor ustedes no saben lo que es un pegador nato, que ademas es rapido y tiene punteria? Solo a un neofito en la materia diria que esta pelea puede ser facil para Pacman,ya que estaria en riesgo todo el tiempo en cada segundo de cada round

[@sewerrat79]

I think Valero vs Pacman is the best match up out there. To bad Pacman has alot on his plate right now, but if it were to happen i like Valero! Hes got mad power, his record speaks for it self.

[@therola]

Ya pelea con alguien bueno Valero, queremos ver de que estas hecho. Saludos de Mexico.

[@marisolgonzalezgonzalez2445]

Tu Canelo tu gallo Estrada tu pantera tu Juan Manuel Márquez le tuvieron miedo no quisieron pelear con él porque hasta el filipino que mata mexicano Le tuvo miedo

[@ronaldlarreal1879]

Y Óscar de la hoya lo sacó de su cuerpo técnico de entrenar xq pegaba muy duro jjjjj que querían uno menos fuerte pa su entrenamiento

[@jperez9805]

I think the fact that he has natural punching power is a plus. The fact that he has punching power late in a fight is also a plus, most heavy punchers lose their steam if they don't ko their opponents early. But I agree about "skill level". His defense needs a lot of work. I pick Pacman now. If he matures in a year or two, maybe he gets a better chance. Either way, fun to watch.

[@hidetaro123]

本望、尊敬する。 復帰を心待ちにしています。

[@mellamanchancho]

You sure? Seems everybody wants a Valera-Pacquiao match. I support that

[@slyda007]

I see what you're saying... Barrera was on his way down on his 2nd loss though... Pacman was known as a "wild brawler and undisciplined" as well... and what happened? Barrera got his ass handed to him. All I'm saying is that people are already knocking him. This makes for a great match up... but like I said... he needs some value under his name to make this a possibility.

[@joeconstan]

This guy hasn't been tested with competition...He maybe 24-0 but these are the records of the first 15 bouts he fought...0-1-0, 2-5-0, 3-1-0, 0-4-0, 0-2-0, 2-6-0, 0-8-0, 7-2-1, 5-20-2, 21-13-2, 7-0-1, 0-4-0, 8-4-0, 24-8-1, 1-5-0...Come on now...He has more hype from coming back from an injury...his KO's are sensationalized by the chumps he boxes against...skip this guy...there's tuffer competition in the lightweight division that would bring about a more entertaining fight...

[@sujtube]

Quoting the article "hardcore fans who have followed his progress on KZbin ..." . There are about 63 videos of Edwin Valero at the time of this posting. So, not much fan following as well !

[@DarthVladious]

amazin isnt it how we read somethin and then we have to go watch a video

[@kingbortot]

Soy Venezolano y estoy de verdad esperanzado es que este hombre puede acabar con cualquiera incluyendo a Pacman, ahora no por que soy Venezolano, es que pegadores asi como este salen una vez cada mucho tiempo, este japones ademas de que aguanta leña, no se lazo al ataque nunca como lo hizo el Loco Mosquera pagando sus consecuencias. Pacman es considerado el mejor de todos pero Valero es rapido de manos y si le pone una mano encima este puede ir a la lona para no pararse mas.

[@reinaldoduran25]

Mucho valero excelente!!!!!!!!!

[@monotomia]

im MEXICAN and happy to see fithers like pacquiao, right now the only fighter able to beat pacquiao is humberto soto, and we will know if he can only if the fight happens! valero has no chance against pacquiao, he must improve skills just like ponce de leon has been doing.

[@cesarverdugo8178]

Este si es box, no churros como las del canelita

[@Inca13]

Valero and his wife were murdered!! too many questions unanswered

[@coldfacedkiller17]

But guys, lets give this dude a chance of what he can show.... But if he keeps fighting that way, he will end up the next Mugabi or Garza....Nevertheless,I'm excited on this Pac-Valero showdown....Talagang bugbugan ito... Ito naman ang gusto ng mga Pinoy eh...:p

[@slyda007]

Why's everyone knocking this guy? You think Pac looked pretty when he was starting out? He still looks a bit awkward now... although a whole lot better than before... 23-0 23KO's is impressive no matter how you slice it. He has to go up against a notable opponent to add some value under his name though.

[@marinomolina]

Arriba camarada Edwin Valero venezuela por lo alto

[@Brooklynhodlcrypto718]

THIS FOOL IS GOOD BUT. But Valero hasn't fought in the U.S. since 2003 and may never do so again because he's under medical suspension in New York. By federal law, whenever a fighter is under suspension in one state, other states must honor it. Valero's suspension stems from injuries suffered in a Feb. 5, 2001, motorcycle accident in which he wasn't wearing a helmet and suffered a fractured skull.

[@spinarium]

pretty much any one close to his size or smaller than him would get his/her ribs broken from his punches, so yeah, that sucks

[@coldfacedkiller17]

Another example: the former WBC superbantamweight champ Jaime Garza.... He compiled a 40-0 38KOs record before fighting obscure Juan meza... In that fight on 1984, Garza absorbed a shocking 1st round KO at the hands of Meza.... I say that Valero will end up like Garza or Mugabi and met his Waterloo at Pacquiao...

[@coldfacedkiller17]

Take the case of John"The Beast" Mugabi of Uganda... Before fighting Marvelous Hagler,he was undefeated in 25 fights and all of them KOs...Sounds scary right? But Hagler knocked him in the 11th round of their 12 round fight in 1986...After that fight, Mugabi was never the same again... he was KOed by Duane thomas and lost his crown...

[@deathmoverz]

actually, Manny is the one who teach almost all Mexican boxers how to fight..

[@stephencrossover]

you can't compare this guy with Mike Tyson, if any of you have seen mike in his early career, his punches are like getting hit by a truck, there's no way you can compare this dude with Mike Mike Tyson is best ever

[@xiominiac]

You meant Rocco Francis Marchegiano AKA Rocky Marciano Total fights 49 Wins 49 Wins by KO 43 Losses 0 Draws 0 No contests 0

[@chrissanne14344]

Japanese fighters are weak, they win belts bcoz their opponents get jet lag, got lost in the labyrinth train stations in Japan. Its good Valero teach them a lesson.

[@raidacaipo]

lol I was just lookin at yahoo right now too.. its funny but his record is 22-0 with 22 knockouts!! thas crazy and 19 in the first round..

[@wallsum2]

analyze this..after PAC demolished MAB, and EM and drew with JMM (judges error).. These fighters moved on and still managed to get the belts, except for EM who still managed to make Diaz look like an amateur when he moved up to the next division...i know these are probably past their prime fighters, but they are still the best , and will still pretty much beat most in that division.

[@jhonperez6726]

Venezuela 👍

[@AtlantaSportsFan]

this guy has a CANNON

[@10splayer]

We all know Valero has the power but I think people (Doug Fischer) over hype him and get off to him fighting. Honestly if he were fight Manny he would get slaughtered. He hardly even has any head movement and drags his feet. He has lots to learn

[@slyda007]

BTW, if Barrera, a shoe-in First Round Hall of Famer, a Mexican Legend, and one of the top 100 Fighters of All-Time, says he thinks Valero can beat Pac, then maybe he sees something that most don't see... I'll take his word over others. This will be a great fight to QUIET down the Valero and Pacquiao haters.

[@Grifter207]

I don't get it. The guy's actually pretty good. He may not have good footwork but he has a good reach, great timing, and a lot of punching power that can push any good boxer into the corner or the ropes. He may not move like Manny or Morales, but he's a good slugger. Valero vs. Pacquiao would probably generate the same ton of money in terms of ppv as the Hatton fight. Though probably not as much as the Morales fight.

[@elpichichis]

Valero still needs more Seasoning to reach his potetial, His POWER can only take him so far, but the he lacks some of the FUNDAMENTALS. Seems like he has heart and a nice chin..i thinh many of you are wrong talking trash about him.

[@snizshizzle]

He got a KO in all of his matches (TKO = a KO). 19 were in the first round.

[@isaqahmed]

Put the yahoo editor in the ring with this Tyson lookalike :)

[@Inca13]

watch his fight vs demarco that shud change your mind

[@takiiiiiii]

why ? u were so fucking talented why o why .

[@jbthalla]

are you sure juan won the first?

[@wh3resmycar]

this man vs pacquaio, two offensive sluggers will be a dream unlike marquez/barrera who ran away all they can from pacman. 2 fighters going at it head on, wooohoo baby

[@mangisda]

Hes got 22-0 22by K.O. and 19 in the 1st round?! Well probably because he is as good as the top 10-20 guys in his division and fighting guys ranked in the last 100. I bet any of the "Big Guns" (Paquiao, Barrera, or Marquez) of his division can knock him out right after fighting a major bout.

[@boxinginthehallway...]

People question Valero,s opposition?But in relality there are some very good fighters on his KO resume?You just cant pronouce their names?Uncle Chuck Nitty

[@mestizod]

Somebody needs to teach Valero to tuck his chin.. Everytime he throws a punch his chin is way up in the air.. Someone who punches with him and has some pop will knock him out clean.. Pitalua is like 40 years old.. He's made to order for Valero.. Somebody is going to slip bang on Valero's chin.. Mark my word!!!!

[@DFS_Viper]

lol, i came checking out this guy after reading the Yahoo page as well... Kind of disappointed.

Funny how Valero calls out MonsterManny and couldn't even finish a fighter who is a B-class at most. I'd be a believer in Valero if he stops DUCKING Joan Guzman and fights him for a unification bout! TO VALERO: Stop fighting cab drivers and face champions.

[@hernanreales6566]

Lastima ombe, el boxeo perder este gran pugil.

[@wallsum2]

i am aware, and still i think Larios prime beats valero because i've seen most of chololo's fights..as for valero, yeah i'll give him points on power, but basing my analysis on his previous fights, i dont think he has the skills to beat prime larios, we can keep waiting for EV to mature and gain experience, but the fact is, we can only analyze him from previous fights which i think is not in the level of MAB, EM, PAC as of now.

[@bluestreats]

its the first thing you do,go to youtube for evidence,everybody here knows what we're talking about

[@needlenpins]

what i was just reading my yahoo pg too !! and here to youtube haha

[@JanCabali]

Valero's opponents are cab drivers not boxers. - Pacquiao

[@jeamrin64]

all of his fights were against under rated and not well known fighters.

[@maryilambruskyni4051]

Ya Valero no tenía tanta fuerza, nosotras las mujeres somos las que acabamos con los hombres más fuertes a travy de la Historia...jijiji..

[@hughesyags]

his opponents are still 1 of the tricycle drivers that he picked

[@angiemurguia]

i think manny is a great fighter and will go down as one of the era's best. I have to say tho that i thought marquez won the second fight by two points. Also i don't think valero can beat manny because he is slightly slower than him,

[@royvir]

his opponent had only 7 fights prior to this fight.

[@toybandit]

Damn. So many of us was tricked by YAHOO! Young Tyson? lol

[@TRIPLESIXSICCNESS]

its an ok fight, but rather see Marquez vs Diaz typr of fights.

[@ngatcha10]

Hes not even roberto duran, hes just a decent fighter with no defense

[@pinoyboxerfan08]

i think valero likes exchanging punches, he doesn't mind getting hit as long as he can also hit his opponent,, just like manny, it's just that manny is faster than him,, but Valero is like a lucky puncher,, like ponce de leon. (just a thought, what do guys think)

[@miw309]

Dude! I kicked that guy off his stool at applebee's last week

[@youngunzvt]

Valero speaks very highly of Manny. With that said..Pac will crush another southpaw that tries to trade lead hooks with him... Valero fights too flat, and entirely too wide.. Manny throws a left hand counter...fight over..

[@gaksolid]

this guy has no defense and no head movement at all, amazing. manny will smash this guy to pieces...

[@minombreesmuerte]

boring? did u watch the DLH VS Mayweather? That was boring!

[@wallsum2]

try looking for the time i posted that message...that was before Larios fought Linares..Yes i know Larios cant fight now, but Larios before this would win by a UD.

[@falciott]

seems like every one came from yahoo to watch this, maybe this is not his greatest fight? I hope, otherwise i'm slighty disappointed as well

[@MoreEvilThanNorman]

watching how valero moves in this fight, he aint gonna beat pacquiao. i agree, valero is a very hard puncher, maybe harder than pacquiao, but he's a gangster who just throws punches wildly. pacquiao, on the other hand, is smarter and faster. but who knows, with wild punches of valero, he could luckily hit pacquiao. that's just the way it is in boxing... i'll go for pacquiao if they fight.

[@pinoyjr]

I love how Japanese mobsters like to fixed fights.

[@comrades73]

Lets say Valero is the best one and he can beat Pac-man in 1st round so my advice to Pac-man is not to fight him coz its not woth it, i'd rather see pac-man make more money than loose to this Valero , maybe in the late of Pacx career, and Valero is the already the money maker for every fight he does... Does valero got PPV , if not then forget fighting Pacman...
