Valero streak ends!

[glahn]

Two whole rounds? Pssh! The guy is clearly shot.

Valero taken to round two!
By Joe Koizumi
Hard-hitting Venezuelan KO artist Edwin "El Inca" Valero, 132, scored an expected stoppage to raise his unblemished mark to 19-0, 19 KOs, although he failed to finish Mexican Genaro Trasancos (21-8-1, 12 KOs), 130.75, in the first round, but halted him at 1:48 of the second session on Saturday night in Kobe, Japan. Valero's streak of first round knockouts thus ended at eighteen, but it was a good experience for him to fight the second session. Valero, 24, furiously swarmed over the taller Mexican and had him staggering time and again, but Trasancos withstood his desperate assault in the opening canto. The second saw Valero accelerate his attack and hurt him so effectively that the Mexican knelt down after absorbing much punishment. The ref Takeo Harada declared a halt then, but the groggy Trasancos protested against a stoppage. Valero displayed his power punching and entertained the audience that expected the Venezuelan puncher's quick demolition.

It could be a good thing. He seemed to be quite wild with his punches in the clips I've seen of him recently, without the pressure to keep his run going he might return to focusing on technique etc. He looked like a quality boxer in the Maxboxing sparring footage.

I agree he looked wild whenever i saw him fight, but the guy hits like a train. His uppercut cum hook that KO'd Hera Bando nearly took his jaw off! Explosive puncher.

Valero was lucky he didnt get DQed because he clearly hit Trazancos when he was down. That being said, what a fearsome puncher this guy is... everytime he unloads those wicked lefts seems as if he rocks the whole damn arena.
