    Yeah, this is why he's not licensed in the US -- mentioned in the first post actually /w link.

    He was recently medically cleared to fight in Texas, but they denied him a work visa because of the DUI.

    I hope he does, as he's coming close to 30 and lightweights typically are past their primes by then. Luckily for him, he hasn't been hit much as he knocks everyone out.

    If you like big punchers, check out Arthur Abraham. He barely throws any punches, but he nearly decapitates all his opponents whenever he chooses to.

    This vid has some commentary on why the Paq fight should happen someday - plus another sick KO.

    He fights with his hands down a lot and he's also a bit slow. I'm interested to see how he does against the elite.

    Tyson was much different then Valero. Edwin had a GBP contract and his Nevada Boxing License handed to him and he blew it. He was the first guy in DLH's camp as sparring for the Pacquaio fight. He never got it. He doesn't listen. His footwork is average, he's never been tested and his stamina is built for all of 8 rounds. After Japan he trained at Top Rank with Kenny Adams. They couldn't even get him to show up on time. I see his career going the same way as Bojado honestly.

    I highly doubt this. Arum has pretty much given up for the time being and he has big time pull.

    I think Pac would drop this guy pretty quick. He doesn't move his head at all and just walks through and overpowers his opponents. I would be interested to see how he fairs against someone who hits him back and if he can take a punch.

    He'll get it if he has another big KO tonight -- Nevada has already put a little loophole in their policy on fighters with head injuries. Get him licensed in Nevada and watch the bandwagon get going on this guy.

    Not a chance. DLH has Vegas in the palm of his hand.

    When he lost his mouthpiece and kept fighting, he looked a bit crazy. :grin:

    The great king. Looks to me like he was just fine after 8 rounds. Was that just me seeing that? King can't be wrong.

    I'd like to see Valero vs. Gambo. That would be a war!
