Pacquiao – Valero in October?
News and Links for May 22, 2008…
Top Rank’s Bob Arum has referred to Edwin Valero as Manny Pacquiao’s likely next opponent, referring to a potential match between the two knockout artists in Macau in October. While negotiations are not even underway, even Freddie Roach has mentioned Valero’s name as an upcoming opponent. Valero is 23-0 with 23 knockouts, including 19 in the first round, and is currently the WBA super featherweight champion. Pacquiao is moving up to lightweight for his next fight against David Diaz, and it is likely that a showdown with Valero would be above 130 pounds as well.
Fres Oquendo says that he is fighting James Toney in July. Don’t have much to say on this one. Really, what does it say about the heavyweight division that the winner of this fight will probably be in line for some kind of title shot?
Contrary to what I wrote in this space yesterday, Pedro Martinez says he is not retiring after this season. Now he says he’s got two or three more seasons in him after this one. Sure, when you only throw three games a year, who can’t go two or three more seasons?
Big Brown’s trainer is not afraid of Casino Drive, and says that after the Belmont, Big Brown may run two more times this year in the Travers Stakes in August and the Breeder’s Crown Classic in October.
