AJ Banal Knocked Out in 10th round

Aj Banal was dropped in the 10th of his "Interim WBA Title" fight with Rafael Concepion with a right hand. The right was a solid shot but fatigue played a factor also. Banal looked Ok, but he watched the Ref count to ten on one knee he looked like he wanted no more of rafael Concepion constant pressure. Concepicon is a good fighter, but not an elite 115 lb fighter.

Yuriorkis Gamboa

So far, from everything I've seen from Yiororkis Gamboa, he looks like an amazing prospect. He has an excellent blend of speed and power, although his defense needs a bit of work. I just wonder if he'll improve. I don't think the guy can defeat a Joan Guzman or an Humberto Soto at this point, but he's already 26 years old and has 300+ amateur fights. That's older than many established pro boxers and an abundance of experience. Do prospects like this actually improve? That being said, even if Gamboa doesn't improve much, he can give anyone in his weight class a hell of a fight. I just wonder if he'll become the superstar they're hyping him up to be.

Vitali Klitschko's comeback fight!

The former Heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko will be having his comeback fight this coming October 4, 2008.. He will be fighting Samuel Peter.. Vitali Klitscho retired last December 2004 after defeating Danny Williams, He retired because of his intentions to become a mayor of his hometown.. Vitali Klitschko is a great Heavyweight fighter, his record is 35wins 34 by knockout and only 2 lost and one from Lenox Lewis, his lost to lenox lewis is awsome..because Vitali is leading in all the judges scorecards and suddenly the fight was sopped because of a cut in his eyebrow which is caused by a legal punch by lenox lewis.. Vitali might've won that fight if it continues, but then boxing is a game of chance, the score might be deictated by a single punch.

Edwin Valero

Valero is the most overhyped fighter in boxing today. All of those knockouts don't impress me at all. The guy has no defense........and the guy can't BOX!!!!!!!He gets hit too much and OK....he hits hard but that's not enough. I know perhaps some out there are comparing him to Pacquiao but it's not a fair assessment. Valero is a crude talent with no technique.


Joan Guzman beats his easily.....slips and slides and is too quick
Juan Manuel Marquez beats him easily....too smart and will confuse Valero
Manny Pacquiao beats him easily.....Too fast and won't give Valero a chance to come forward with reckless abandon as is Valero's style. Valero is effective against average fighters who stand in front of him. Against Vincente Mosquena, he got knocked down in the 3rd and looked dazed.

Pacquiao is too fast for him, hits as hard or harder and is the much more polished fighter. Valero loops his punches and leaves himself wide open and lets his fall too much.

Bottom line.......Valero is waiting to be exposed. Pacquiao will expose him.

Two of the Boxing Legends Oscar "The Goldenboy" De La Hoya and Felix "Tito" Trinidad will be having their Rematch this coming December 6, 2008. This will gonna be a great fight, even though they past their primes I'm sure millions of people will watch this fight.

Now the Legendary Mexican boxer came back from his retirement and will gonna fight Humberto Soto this coming september 16, 2008.

Manny Pacquiao vs Edwin Valero this November 8

Manny Pacquiao vs Edwin Valero fight will finally happen on Novermber 8 this year, according to some news the fight is already set and it is final. So the Hatton fight will not happen or will be moved after the Valero fight. Pacquiao was the best power puncher in his division, even though Edwin Valero defeated all his 24 opponents via Knock Out and 18 of it was in a consecutive first round Knock Outs. Valero has still not proven his power against a tough and skilled opponent. Valero and Pacquiao fight has already been talked few years ago and Pacquiao once said that theres nothing to be afraid against Valero because even though he defeated all his enemies by knock out it doesnt matter because all of his enemies were only CAB DRIVERS, and i 100% agree with it. I am seeing a almost Pacquiao vs David Diaz fight this November 8 but the only difference is that Valero will be KNOCKED OUT EARLIER because even an easy opponent knocked him down many times. And again Valero vs Pacquiao is a MISMATCH!
