And by jove it's a bad'un.

He fights 22-3-1 Michael Lozada. Ok, until you see Lozada has beaten only 3 guys with a +500 record, drew with a guy 1-10, and has MDs over two guys 3-7 and 0-4. Of course, however, he holds a WBA regional title. Hurrah.

Lozada would struggle to get a top 10 spot in his domestic rankings, let alone be a credible world title opponent. Given Valero's power, this match-up is farcical to the point of dangerous. I e-mailed the WBA saying as such, but of course got no reply.

... Lozado wouldn't even be able to struggle for a Mexican TOP10 ... Boxrec shows him as a domestic #38 ...

Totally forgot about the time factor. It's already been then. Well, illustrates the point. Absolutely no point in this one.

These people realy should check.

Yeah, you're right. That Japanese guy took him to the 2nd, and then Mosquera took him to 8 or somethig

Hate to be so annoyingly picky but didn't Mexican Trazancos take him into the 2nd 8) P.S. I didn't check the records yet so my memory may have failed me
