Holy fucking christ. Where did this come from now? When was Valero in trouble? this shit is crazy.[/quote]
CARACAS, Venezuela – Former boxing champ Edwin Valero committed suicide in his jail cell on Monday just hours after he was arrested in his wife’s killing, police said.
The former lightweight champion used his own clothes to hang himself from a bar in his cell early Monday, Venezuelan Federal Police Chief Wilmer Flores told reporters.
damn now looks like he committed suicide, what a waste, sounds like he was battling some demons and been in trouble the past few months. seen him fight once think it was his last fight back in feb, reminded me of a mini ultimate warrior look a like.
Called Martinez winning he’s slick as hell basically just owned Pavlik. What does Pavlik do now? is star was on the rise and then the BHOP loss the staph and now this.
Yeah I also picked Martinez…Speed kills
About Valero, that is God awful news. You dont expect things like that to happen when a person has alot going for them. We’re all just simple humans in the end…
Am gonna watch all the big fights this evening.
But just now I watched the Caballero fight. I never heard/saw him before.
Of course there’s not much to dislike about him, he was impressive - despite the level of his opposition.
But at times he looked wide open. I dunno, maybe he really was getting a bit bored. I just wonder what a better fighter than Yordan would do to him given the chance. Plus he’s not exactly the hardest hitter around…
Super Six time again…
Following on from the controversial fight between Dirrell and Abraham it’s time for Kessler v Froch in Denmark.
Who do you have picked?
I picked Kessler to win the whole tournament so I’m going to have serious egg on my face if Froch beats him as well…I still can’t see Froch winning, he has to be the most underwhelming champion in a long time…
I’ve got my flight booked, now all I need is for this almighty cloud of volcanic ash to clear so that I can get over there. Not looking forward to paying £5 / $8 for a beer though.
I got Kessler picked. Wasn’t all that impressed by Froch at all really.
Kessler can be slow to start, but once he gets going he’s the goods.
i’m going to go with Kessler. I think Froch is way to one dimensional and looked stupid against Dirrel. Its gonna be close and i see a split decission favoring Kessler. I personally love tournements and think this is a lot of fun!
Irish tell me again why you don’t like Kessler?

Looooool
Except for the heavyweights… or cruiserweights… or…
Irish, Adamek and nipples put a hell of a show last night. great action packed heavyweight fight between two contenders.
Fuck me, the atmosphere at the Kessler fight was ridiculous - it was like being in the crowd at Rocky IV…if I was Froch I would have hid in my dressing room.
I couldn’t argue with the decision - Kessler definitely edged it on my scorecard. The Danish fight fans were really good value. And the Danish chicky-babes…woop woop, I think the door staff were only letting in shmokingly hot six footers…happy days.

I know I saw it this morning. Hell of a fight, really good for both guys, both of them are pretty hard cats.[/quote]
agreed, bu i saw the V.K. Arreola fight in person, and the size difference was very apparent. watching the Adamek Arreola fight, nipples was much much bigger than Adamek, and i that gave him(Adamek) a lot of trouble. Adamek says he wants one of the Klits…um, i dont know…too big, and too good.
yep. Adamek is not THAT big for a cruiser weight Irish. I saw him in a pic next to David Haye, and he was dwarfed.

Well, the four people who still watch the heavyweights or actually even know what a cruiserweight is will know that, yes.
For the great majority of boxing fans, casual or otherwise, the real fights are at 168 and below now.[/quote]
168 is a hell of a division, but again, the vast majority of the top 10 are not US/Mexico fighters.
Personally, I think that the heavy divisions are on a rise and will only get better with so much interesting fights ahead (watch out for Kubrat Pulev).
Bute was born in Romania, has Romanian citizenship, and what’s more important, was trained the Eastern-European way.
The Americans in the Top 8 are only 2 - keep in mind that most of the boxing media and sites rank Green out of the Top 8.
As for Andrade, apart from his bout with Stieglitz, I’ve never seen something from him that shows he really top material. Looks like Abraham without the power - only Ring Magazine puts him in the Top 10, out of pity, I think.
But let’s not flood the good thread with this - seems like we agree to disagree.
Well the combat forum seems to be kind of dead. No thoughts on Khan Malinaggi, Williams Cintron. Rematch this wknd JMM Juan Diaz.
