The next time he would be in the headlines was for a more sinister and shocking reasons. Unfortunately, this was the last time we would see Valero in the ring. De Marco accidentally caught Valero with his elbow during the contest which may have caused the Venezuelan problems, but he fought on and hammered the Mexican forcing De Marco to his first defeat quitting on his stool before the 10 th. Valero’s final fight would become his finest performance as he had a classic fight with the impressive Antonio De Marco. Valero became a two-weight World Champion in his 25 th fight when he won the WBC Lightweight, outclassing Antonio Pitalua with a second round TKO. By the time of his 18 th fight he held the record for straight first round wins, a record which has since been eclipsed, but the power puncher had still not secured a World Title or fight in America, in fact it was not until his 19 th fight that he won the WBA Super Featherweight Championship and not until his 24 th fight that he managed to fight in the USA.
#Manny pacquiao vs edwin valero pro
Valero claimed that he passed a medical for his first 11 pro wins but ran into trouble when he attempted to fight in America and failed an MRI in New York this made it impossible for Edwin to fight in America which limited his box office potential and create for himself the type of stardom that his style and talent deserved.
