Edwin Valero

Saturday at Turmero, Venezuela
Junior Lightweight
Edwin Valero TKO1 Whyber Garcia

Records: Valero 18-0, 18 KOs; Garcia 17-4

Rafael's remark: The streak continues! Valero, the Venezuelan prodigy, has knocked all 18 of his opponents out in the first round. But this win was his biggest because it came in a title elimination fight, which means Valero has needed less than 18 complete rounds to become the mandatory challenger for 130-pound titlist Vicente Mosquera.

Wow! ... hopefully he'll be on shobox or hbo after dark before long.

I'm glad you brought him up. I want to see this guy too but wonder what sort of endurance he'll have? A top pro who's able to last 1-3 rounds & this guy might run out of gas.

Problem is he is "banned" from fighting here in the States (U.S.) currently.

Because of a prior head injury accident.

That's true, I read about that. Also read that they think they have a chance to overturn that due to the Mesi case.
