Ht: 5-9 Wt: 147

DOB: October 28, 1980 In: Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico

First Boxing Memory: “Losing my first amateur fight. I remember I tried to make 70 pounds. I made 70 1/2 so I had to fight at the
next level – 75 – against a kid that beat me [laughs]. That was my first amateur fight.”

Boxing Inspirations: “As a fighter – Julio Cesar Chavez. In life – my family.”

Motivation: “Well, I guess, nobody wants to lose. So when I’m up in that ring, I don’t want to lose. I naturally want to keep winning.”

Hobbies/Leisure Activities: “I make music, help my brothers with their band. I like dancing.”

Favorite Movies: “300, Moulin Rouge and Beowulf.”

Last Book Read: “I don’t know, can’t remember the name of it. I don’t read that much, it was a while back.”

Musical Tastes: “Hy3rid, reggaeton and rock, Calle 13 and Eminem.”

Pre-Fight Meal: “Whatever I desire.”

Current Car: “I drive a Mercedes.”

Favorite Ice Cream Flavor: “Vanilla.”

Greatest Sports Moment: “When I beat Arturo Gatti (TKO 7 in 2007).”

Most Painful Moment: “When I lost against – my first loss against Ishe Smith.”

Embarrassing Boxing Memory: “When I lost my chance to make the Olympics because of my lack of discipline. (What happened?) I had a girlfriend, didn’t train, I went to fight – I was one fight short of actually going to the Olympics. I lost.”

Toughest Part Of Boxing: “The discipline. The fact that, when I was a teenager, I couldn’t be a teenager. You know, the typical girlfriends, slumber parties, drinking. I couldn’t be a teenager. But that’s all right [smiles].”

Last Vacation: “I went to Big Bear.”

What Would You Be If You Weren’t A Successful Pro Boxer: “I would be a successful actor.”

Toughest Opponent: “Jesse Feliciano. Because I hit him with everything I had in all three of our fights – and he just kept coming. He just kept coming and coming and coming and I hit him to the body and to the head. And he just wouldn’t go down. Definitely one of my toughest fights. And Peter Manfredo.”

Favorite Boxers To Watch: “Kelly Pavlik. He’s a good fighter. Because he fights. I like Manny Pacquiao, he’s the best fighter. And De La Hoya too.”

People Qualities Most Admired: “I just like people that don’t follow trends or don’t follow what other people say. I like people that are their own. My favorite trait is when somebody is their own. When everybody wants to do something, he does what he wants to do. That’s important to me.”

Outstanding Boxer Awards
10/11 Ace Vega (OH)
12/13 Antonio Vargas (FL)
14/15 Julian Rodriguez (NJ)

Floyd: “First they say I’m ducking everybody. Like I say, line ‘em up.”

Floyd: “I like to take chances baby.”

Floyd: “I’m in the hurt business. I’m dishin’ out ass whoopins. But I ain’t takin’ ‘em.”

Floyd: “How can (Pacquiao) be indestructible when you have three losses. He’s been knocked out three times.”

(NFL media reply) This is the new Manny Pacquiao.

Floyd: “The new one that don’t want to take a test.”

Floyd: “They want to see someone knock me off. But it’s not possible.”

Floyd: “All roads lead to Floyd Mayweather. I don’t need Manny Pacquiao.”

Floyd: “I’m a businessman. With or without him, I’m gonna make $100 million for two or three fights.”

Floyd: “I respect (Mosley). He’s been a helluva guy. If he’s Bernard Hopkins’ puppet, I understand. He didn’t really want to do that (challenge him after Marquez fight on HBO). He’s a gentleman. I like Shane.”

Floyd: “Floyd Mayweather, Al Haymon, Leonard Ellerbe – we created that show (24/7).”

Here are some questions we wish the NFL media would have asked…

Question: Do you take Xylocaine and would you consider that an illegal PED?

Question: Have you contacted and requested the Nevada Commission change it’s drug testing protocol – or are your personal demands more important than Nevada’s?

Question: When did you first decide to be a pioneer about changing drug testing protocol in boxing and what inspired this decision?

Question: How do you know the Philippines makes the best PEDs?

Question: You said you like to take chances – why didn’t you take a chance with Margarito, Cotto in 2008 and Pacquiao?

Question: How do you feel about being sued by Manny Pacquiao for slander, libel and defamation?

Question: Have you taken any actions to enforce random drug testing for other title fights besides your own?

Question: Did you use the steroids blood test as a way to duck Manny Pacquiao because he might knock you out?

Question: Did HBO and Golden Boy apply extreme pressure for you to sign the contract? And why did you delay signing?

Question: You called Shane a gentleman and negotiations are said to have gone very cordially. What kind of fight can we expect on May 1 if you two are on such good terms?

World-ranked welterweight Carlos Abregu of Salta, Argentina, upped his record to 29-0 (23 KOs) with a clear-cut, 10-round unanimous decision over Miami-based Colombian Richard Gutierrez (24-4, 14 KOs) in the co-feature at Arena Monterrey.

The event, promoted by Gary Shaw Productions, LLC, was the first SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast to emanate from Mexico in nearly 12 years and the first in Monterrey in more than 15.

Valero, who resides in Las Vegas, showed he was anything but one-dimensional as he outfought and, somewhat shockingly, outboxed the tentative and outclassed DeMarco while controlling all the rounds in a one-sided battle of southpaws.

The talented Valero had is way despite suffering a cut on the cheek in the first round and a severe, ugly gash on his forehead above his right eye from an unintentional elbow in the second. Blood flowed from his forehead for much of the match, but Valero remained poised and in total command.

The fight was stopped by the referee after the ninth round with a beaten, exhausted DeMarco seated on his stool. At the time of the stoppage, Valero was ahead by the scores of 89-81 on the three judges’ scorecards.

“This was definitely my best performance,’’ said the 5-foot-7½-inch, 28-year- old Valero after making the second title defense of the 135-pound belt he won in April 2009. “I learned I have to pace myself and can’t just come out in the beginning rounds so aggressively.

“I have to save some of that for the later rounds.”

Valero, the busier fighter throughout, connected with many powerful combinations upstairs and to the body, and was as strong in the last round as he was in the first.

“I wasn’t surprised the fight lasted nine rounds. I was expecting it to last the full 12,’’ he said. “I knew I had to keep doing what I was doing in order to win. They thought I wasn’t a boxer and that I couldn’t deal with his reach. They didn’t know that I was a lateral fighter. I showed them that I had a better defense and better legs.’’

A heretofore unknown despite his amazing knockout record – he won his initial 17 starts by first-round knockout — Valero was ecstatic after his debut on SHOWTIME.

“A star is born,” he smiled. “In me, the people have a great boxing champion and with tonight’s performance they have the proof. The fans now know that they will be happy to see my fights.’’

DeMarco fought patiently, perhaps too patiently. He lacked fire and intensity and seemed content to box and land an occasional single punch. If he was waiting for fatigue to set in with Valero, he still is.

“It wasn’t my night,” conceded the 5-foot-10, 24-year-old DeMarco, who entered the scheduled 12-rounder having won 12 and a row and going unbeaten in his last 16 (15-0-1) dating to May 2006. “He got the best of me. I went out there tonight to fight but my body did not respond.”

While dejected, DeMarco did not dispute his corner’s decision to halt the proceedings. “As a Mexican fighter, I did not want to quit, but my corner saw throughout the fight that Valero was the better fighter,’’ he said.’

The five-foot-10-inch, 27-year-old Abregu rallied from a second-round knockdown and a cut below the left eye to floor the five-foot-nine-inch, 31 year old Gutierrez in the third en route to winning decisively by the scores of 98-90 and 97-91 twice.

“I came in knowing that Gutierrez was tough,” said Abregu, who showed surprisingly good boxing skills, movement and defense. “He’s shown it in all his past fights. I knew it wasn’t going to be easy.

“I hurt both my hands in this fight, but whatever injury it is, it was worth it. This was a very hard fight and I am very proud of my performance. I won like I’d hoped. I wanted to be the best man tonight and I was.”

Post Fight Quotes From Jason Estrada:

“If everyone in this room were completely honest with themselves you would all admit that I got robbed. I mean I got played. I might as well have had a gun pointed to my head.”

“At best I give Adamek three of the twelve rounds. I seriously think the last judge doesn’t need to judge anymore.”

“Yeah I’m angry. I fought my a_ _ off. I trained harder than I ever have. I was in the best shape I’ve ever been in. People talked about me possibly running out of gas, but I never did. All he (Adamek) did was run.”

“If I learned one thing tonight it was that I can’t go into anyone’s hometown to fight. What do I have to do bring a gun?”

Quotes from Tomasz Adamek:

“It was the best Jason Estrada I’ve ever seen in my life. He was 50 percent better today, than he when he fought a top three heavyweight like Aleksander Powietkin. Quick, with a good defense and a very hard head. It was extremely difficult to locate precise punches, because of his defense. Maybe, I should have use more than three punches combination, maybe risk a little more? I wanted to do it, but my trainer Andrzej Gmitruk was telling me all the time in the corner to be more boxer than puncher, avoid his punches first, then use different temp to throw him of his strategy. It was another test in heavyweight division, versus very difficult to fight boxer. “

“I was hit couple of times hard, sure – but this is a part of boxing. But none of his punches made me change my tactics or get sacred, not at all. I knew he didn’t have a knockout punch…”

“I weighed 220 pounds for this fight, probably an ideal weight for me, I was prepared for 12 rounds, and pretty early in the fight I realized this is what would happen. So I had to conserve more energy, maybe be less aggressive than in my previous fights.”

“I don’t even want to get into these Jason assumptions that he was robbed. I think I won by four, maybe five points. My trainer Andrzej Gmitruk wanted me to be more boxer than puncher, was screaming at me in the corner. But how can I fight differently when I have a 10,000 of my red and white fans screaming for me to do just that? They pay good money to see entertaining fight, not some boring, slow guys throwing 10 punches a round.”

“I have couple of words for those who are saying that I cannot fight Arreola because he is a much better puncher than Estrada. First of all every fight is different, and anyone who knows about boxing can say “Estrada hit him, but Arreola will do the same, and harder”. We don’t know that. Maybe it will be easier for me to avoid punches from Arreola, and maybe it will be easier for me to hit him! We just don’t know, but won’t it be interesting to see…“

After the fight, Valero celebrated jubilantly, like a young Roberto Duran. He told Showtime commentator Steve Farhood it was the best performance of his career. It might end up being one of the most impressive performances of 2010. Valero, now 27-0 (27 KO’s), deserves an HBO or Showtime contract, as future fights with Juan Manuel Marquez, Ali Funeka and Joel Casamayor await.

In Newark, NJ, two-time world champion Tomasz Adamek made his second appearance as a heavyweight, this time taking on a young, prime contender in former U.S. Olympian Jason Estrada, after stopping the faded former world title challenger Andrew Golota late last year. Estrada is a talented, experienced boxer with a record of 16-3, but a lack of punch power has limited his success as a pro. Adamek, the former WBC Light Heavyweight champion, showed on Saturday night he has top 10-quality skills and stamina as he scored a unanimous decision win over 12 rounds. But it’s still a big question if charismatic Pole has enough natural strength and power to knock off either of the Klitschko brothers. Adamek’s next opponent could be Chris Arreola in April, and based on this good but not astounding performance vs. Estrada, Adamek will be a decided underdog in that potentially exciting matchup.

Super middleweight Peter Quillin dominated Fernando Zuniga over 10 rounds on the Adamek-Estrada undercard. Quillin is now 21-0 (15).

At 41, Glen Johnson, coming off of an ugly decision loss to Chad Dawson last November, is looking at his last chance for a possible big money fight in the future. He appeared so jaded against Dawson in Hartford three months ago that it seems possible Johnson is now in possession of a glass that is always half empty. Not only did Dawson shut Johnson down completely, but he also looked leisurely in doing so. It did not take much effort for Dawson to outbox Johnson at every turn, and it will be a long night for Johnson if he fights as sluggishly against Mack as he did against Dawson. Still, Johnson, Miami via Jamaica, will enter the ring as a slight favorite across most books.

Mack, 28-2-2 (17), is a talented boxer-puncher who, to his detriment, sometimes punches more often than he boxes. Slugging it out with Librado Andrade, for example, is an error in judgment on par with sticking your hand into a cage at the zoo. More than once Mack appeared on the verge of stopping Andrade, but exchanging blows with a powerpunching wildman is risky business at any point. Both of his losses have come to heavy hitters—Andrade and Alejandro Berrio. His performance against Berrio was particularly disturbing because Berrio, with his glass jaw and his gaping defense, should have been easy pickings for a skilled sharpshooter like Mack. Instead, Mack, 30, was worn down and stopped in the sixth round. A more disciplined Mack should be able to avoid slugging in the future. In his last big fight, Mack smacked dangerous Chris Henry around early and hung on to win a split decision after 12 hard rounds. According to his management team, Mack
was dried out at super middleweight and unable to perform at his best. Mack, with a new trainer and a new promoter—Lou DiBella—has now won five bouts in a row as a light heavyweight.

Johnson, 49-13-2 (33), does not punch as hard as Andrade, Berrio, or Henry, but is far cagier than anyone Mack has ever fought. The question here is whether or not Johnson, after 17 years as a pro, is reduced solely to caginess. If not, he will apply the pressure from the opening bell, attack the body with brio, and drop rain on Mack when in close. In that case, Mack, New York via Philadelphia, will have his work cut out for him and must be able to box with discipline. Defensively, Mack has a few cute moves, but these slick turns are almost exclusively used when Mack is against the ropes and under fire. During the course of a fight, Mack often drops his left a little too low and tends to back up in a straight line in front of his opponent. This is a bad RX for fighting Johnson, who does his best work against stationary targets. In order for Mack to outpoint Johnson—the likeliest outcome for a Mack victory—he will have to be keep busy and give
the older man angles. As usual, Johnson will come boring in, looking to make things as uncomfortable as possible between the ropes.

In the end, however, Mack is younger, faster, and more skilled than Johnson. This fight, then, comes down to a couple of X-factors. Can Johnson, at this stage of his career, force the kind of pace needed to draw Mack into a firefight? And will Mack fade if things start getting rough? Questions concerning his stamina and durability have been aired ever since Mack was knocked out by Alejandro Berrio in 2006. When Mack was stopped by Librado Andrade in seven heats after a fast start, Mack was typecast as a fighter who cannot handle pressure. And pressure, of course, is a Glen Johnson specialty.

Eventually, Johnson will be able to provoke Mack into swinging freely. At that point, Mack will either prove or disprove the conventional wisdom about his durability and stamina. It seems likely, however, that a skilled boxer like Mack would have given Johnson trouble at any stage of his career. Look for Mack to ride out a few rough spots and score a close decision in a fast-paced bout.

“We had a great time together. The time just flew by,” said Pacquiao. “We discussed the possibility of working together in movies and making joint concert appearances. We also discovered that we share a bond in Asian philosophy and philanthropy. I invited Steven to be with me at Jerry Jones’ Cowboys Stadium on March 13 when I defend my world welterweight title against Joshua Clottey and he accepted.”
