    19 FIGHTS, 19 KO's--18 in the FIRST ROUND.

    There's a Lightweight named Edwin Valero who racked up 18 consecutive FIRST ROUND STOPPAGES before being forced to extend a fight TO THE SECOND ROUND BEFORE AGAIN STOPPING HIS FOE. He totes a record of 19 wins, ALL BUT ONE BY FIRST ROUND KO/TKO. No loss. He debuted in 2002, didn't fight in the whole of 2004 but more than made up for that in 2005 by facing 5 different opponents. His first appearance this year was in Feb 25 when he took out Wyber Garcia in the first round in a WBA Fedelatin title fight. Exactly one month later (March 25), he TKOd Genaro Trazancos in a non-title meeting in Kobe, Japan in the second round-- the first time he had to go that far in a fight.

    He is officially managed by Secundo Lujano, but Oscar De La Hoya's dad has widely been reported as having a lot of say in his career. It is therefore odd that with Golden Boy Promotions behind him, he has not created much of a wave among fight fans.

    It seems that he is not even listed in the upcoming cards of Golden Boy Promotions.

    What gives? Is it, in part, because Joel De La Hoya manages Mike Anchondo who, after having lost his WBO Jr. Light title to Barrios, is now back to campaigning at Lightweight?

    He's too wild with his punches.

      Yeah, but it sure does seem to work for him. Besides, there have been wide/wild-swinging ones (of slightly better variety) who have attracted quite a following: Mayorga, for one. And, in the eyes of a quite a number, Margarito too.

      Valero takes out opponents (in the very early rounds) and scarcely any seems to notice. The guy is just simply lethal and yet few know the extent of the damage he can inflict.

        Well get him to KO all the champs, and i'll be on the nuthugging train. But I'm skeptical about him right now.

            I understand the skepticism. I'll be right there alongside you, watching, though. The guy has power-- something that most people say cannot be taught: either a fighter has it or he'll never have it, they say. Much of the rest can be learned.

            And, yes, "chin" cannot be taught too, and his has obviously not been tested.

              Same here. I guess the majority are too, that's why not many are talking about the guy.

                  still a record like that could easily have been hyped regardless of other variables.
