Finally, a free video of the latest fight of Edwin Valero versus Takehiro Shimada. Somebody with a good heart just posted this on Youtube, and Edwin Valero whi is Japan-based and very popular with his tons of full fight videos on Youtube (full fights because most were quick ones) extends his record to 24-0 Win-Loss card with a staggering record of 24 KOs. Yes, you heard that right. You’re probably wondering why this guy is not recruited for the big-money fights in Las Vegas? Well, that’s because he is ineligible to play in the United States, after the Boxing Committee waived his permit to fight when he failed an MRI exam. Since then Valero dominated the Japanese boxing scene, and still up to this point is waylaying opponents on the side streets with sheer knockout power. The latest victim is no other than Japanese Takehiro Shimada, from whom Edwin Valero defended his WBA SuperFeatherweight belt.

Manny toyed with the boxing bag, shadow boxing, speedball and sit-ups for conditioning at the Golingan Gym, General Santos City for a full week. After that his next training was with long-time buddy and Filipino coach Buboy Fernandez at Gerry Peñalosa Gym, Mandaluyong City, Metro Manila as shown here in a video below. When May 10 arrived he continued his training at Freddie Roach’s Wild Card Gym in Los Angeles for next seven weeks.
The People’s Champ tactic depends on his speed. This is his primary weapon in the fight to grabbed the WBC Lightweight belt. Let’s see if the his special weapon will be effective to his Chicago based opponent. His coach, Freddie Roach is confident enough that Manny will outpoint david Diaz.
David Diaz in turn had also his training at Berkeley in anticipation of the fight which will be held at Mandalay Bay Las Vegas. You will see in a video provided here that Diaz is sharpening his powerful jabs. Here in the video of the WBC lightweight champ Diaz had his training during a public workout in Berkeley, CA on May 31st. He had to polish his expertise in knocking out lefties which is his specialty. This maybe his tactic to win in the said upcoming boxing clash.

Kelly Pavlik proves why he is the king of the middleweights after successfully defending his belt June 7, 2008 at the Boardwalk Hall against Gary Lockett. Pavlik outclassed Lockett by a mile and sent the Welshman home humbled without hurting himself. The video for the full fight below, with these summaries: Round 1, Pavlik throws and lands; Round 2, 2 knockdowns, and Round 3, TKO with the Lockett’s corner throwing in the towel. This is one of the full video fights of Pavlik I tuned into, and based on it, I think he deserves a big money fight with Joe Calzaghe later this year.

The live fight video will be broadcasted on Showtime on Saturday, June 7, 2008 in Uncasville, Conn. You can watch it online but you will have to wait until someone uploads it on Youtube. This fight shows a different side of champion Vernon Forrest, when unexpectedly he gave some harsh words belittling his opponent and dismissing Mora’s power, who has never fought a high-caliber opponent.
