Edwin Valero vs Nobuhito Honmou

"Edwin Valero vs Nobuhito Honmou"
2007.05.03 Ariake Colosseum,
WBA Super Featherweight Title
1-6-7-8R
Valero wins in the 8R(Honmou's five wounds:TKO)
but Honmou never down and expressed retirement after this fight.

[@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.

[@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！

[@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

[@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!

[@ANDRESOTE90]

Valero no se dejó joder ni por los japoneses jajajaja

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.

日本のテクニシャン。最高に尊敬している

[@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

[@wilmenzarraga9799]

Ese edwin valero era un toro

[@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.

[@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.

[@abdalasaad]

Este tipo era un bárbaro

[@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

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 .

[@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.

[@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.

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

[@AnibalMartínez-n7l]

Esté aciatico estaba bien parado y en condiciones física exelente Valero era un tayson lastima Q no está físicamente

[@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.

[@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.

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

[@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.

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

[@mellamanchancho]

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

[@pugilist102]

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

[@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.

[@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..

[@hernanreales6566]

Lastima ombe, el boxeo perder este gran pugil.

[@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.

[@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...

[@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

[@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 !

[@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...

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

[@TRIPLESIXSICCNESS]

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

[@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...

[@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)

[@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.

[@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.

[@deathmoverz]

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

[@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

[@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

[@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.

[@TRIPLESIXSICCNESS]

good too see your no longer one of those manny worshipers but manny would demolish valero, no doubt!

[@AtlantaSportsFan]

this guy has a CANNON

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!!!!

[@Inca13]

watch his fight vs demarco that shud change your mind

[@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

[@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,

[@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..

[@Basta11]

Valero should be able to fight in the States to prove himself. Unfortunately for him, that's never going to happen.

[@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.

[@JoséManuelBrito-r8w]

Mejor que valero no hay boxeador venezolano que lo supere

[@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

[@royvir]

his opponent had only 7 fights prior to this fight.

[@takiiiiiii]

本質的にディフェンスって、ガードやヘッドスリップよりも距離とタイミング。その意味ではばれろのディフェンス技術は決して低くない。

[@hughesyags]

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

[@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.

[@ngatcha10]

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

[@snizshizzle]

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

[@jeamrin64]

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

[@martygi]

why ? u were so fucking talented why o why .

[@JanCabali]

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

[@carlosyunnioduranescandela9414]

excelente boxeador Valero

[@73RULAS]

Valero reminds me of Daniel Ponce de Leon and Jorge Arce. He can do better in his defense. If not, I can see him getting KO'd soon.

[@kralc27]

power alone cant guarantee a win in boxing..valero needs more boxing lessons..

[@needlenpins]

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

[@wallsum2]

Looks like the kid lost his knock out power...Good fight though, Larios UD's him IMO, should try to face In Jin Chi before playing with the big boys..

[@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...

[@10splayer]

Gamboa, as long as he fights smart picks his spots. Speed will always beat power

[@bluestreats]

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

[@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.

[@gaksolid]

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

[@CiprianoOropeza-g6z]

Buena la Pelea

[@yochiox]

I wonder why some people complain this guy like he has no chance against other great boxer or he's been fighting against weak opponests you don't like his record of knockout in a first round and some say that he is good boxer?? what you say something bad about this guy is also insuluting boxers he fought against so far remember that
