Demarco is living up to his reputation as a slow starter. He isn't throwing much through one and a half rounds.
That gash is around one inch in length and looks good and deep.
How did Valero get cut?
Elbow. It might be over an inch. Lots of blood. Nothing could close that gash except stitches and glue.
Valero is there to be hit. Demarco doesn't hit as hard it appears, which would be no surprise. Right now Demarco is taking it.
Round 4 was strong for Valero.
40-35, 39-36 twice for Valero after four on the official scores.
Al has Valero every round 40-35
Great round 4 by Valero. Demarco isn't landing any jabs at all...
I like a lot about Demarco, except for the fact that he just isn't punching enough.
Better round for Demarco, but Valero landed a ton of punches too.
I am sold, win or lose, Valero is the man. I like what I see.
After 8 round, 79-72 on all three cards officially.
why isn't the Franchise scoring?
He isn't able to tonight due to obligations.
Apparently two feet of snow is too much for people to report to work, thus I had to go in early. I followed along on BoxingWatchers.com though...
