    Oscar Valdez 22 year old former two time Olympian from Nogales, Mexico with a record of 6 wins, 0 defeats, 6 KOs has great boxing skills and loves to brawl. If handled properly he could be a future star.

    Jose 'Sniper' Pedraza 24 year old from Cidra, Puerto Rico, who won medals in the Pan American Games has an undefeated record of 15-0 (10 KOs). He and Valdez one day will clash for sure since they campaign at the same weight (I think Valdez can beat him, but not at this point. Both faced Gil Garcia which Valdez stopped in two rounds while Pedraza went the distance with him). Both fighters seem to have a bright future ahead. Pedraza will need to start facing more competitive fighters instead of tomato cans, though.


    Fight starts at 6:00 mns

    No, but in wooded areas maybe like an hour away from the city there are some brown bears.

    :lol::lol: Yeah, exactly the same stuff applies



    • Bears will display three types of behaviour. These tips will help you assess the situation and stay safe.
    • Stop, remain calm and assess the situation to try and understand what message the bear is conveying before you act.
      1. Threatened (Defensive) Bear

      A bear that feels threatened will often display signs of agitation and stress through vocal and/or visual cues such as huffing, popping of the jaws, pacing, swinging of the head or excessive salivation. This may escalate to slapping the ground or a tree, or to a bluff charge, stopping short of contact. The head will be lowered with ears drawn back while facing you. This behaviour is associated with defensive bears.
    • If a threatened bear charges
    • Stand your ground, be non-threatening.
    Talk to the bear in a calm voice.
    When the bear has moved off, proceed on your way.

    2. Non-threatening Bear

    If a bear approaches in a non-threatening manner, it may be curious, used to people, after your food, wanting right of way, or to assert dominance.
    If a non-threatening bear approaches you
    Stop and remain calm. Talk to the bear in a firm voice. Assess the situation.
    Be ready to use a deterrent, such as bear pepper spray, a hunting knife or air horn.

    3. Stalking (Predatory) Bear


    A stalking bear's approach will be deliberate and silent. This bear is the type you should be most concerned with. The head will be up and ears erect, displaying no signs of stress. This behaviour is associated with predatory bears.
    If a stalking bear continues to follow you
    Make direct eye contact.
    Act aggressively to persuade the bear you are not easy prey.
    Shout, wave your arms, stomp your feet.
    Elevate yourself onto a log or rock and raise your jacket to look bigger.
    If within range, use your bear pepper spray.

    Based on what? Pedraza being taller? Don't get me wrong: I wish the best to Pedraza since he is from my hometown, Cidra (I lived there most of my life until I moved to Florida in '97). But I am more impressed with the Mexican kid. Of course both of these young fighters' chins have never been tested, so anything can happen to the owner of the weaker jaw.

    Here is the video of his last fight. Even though Verdejo (8-0, 6 KO) is a newcomer is hardly a new face since Top Rank has been putting him in their cards. Next he will fight dangerous TBA in the Pacquiao undercard.

    Put it this way about Valdez - he's in his 5th or 6th fight fighting some scrub with as many losses as wins and it took me a good 30-40 seconds to be sure which one he was. Both guys were missing wildly, getting hit with shots they shouldn't, getting put off balance again and again. It was difficult to tell.

    It was instantly obvious with Pedraza.

    I'll put Jerren up against Verdejo right now, Panchy.

    Jay can put on a couple of pounds and will knock him the fuck out, I guarantee it.

    Here's a video of one of his first round KO's, granted it is versus a humpty dumpty, but he looked sharp here.[video=youtube;pP9N_YvoK3E]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pP9N_YvoK3E[/video]

    I don't know. Jerren has this tendency to keep his guard down which could be fatal against Verdejo.

    That's by design as he was taught to fight like that from the get go to get maximum leverage into his shots and his current trainer has given him more tools to work with, Panchy.

    What I'm thinking is that Cochran will time in and catch him coming in with a big right counter, hurt him and then finish him off.

    Verdejo hops around like a kangaroo and can be timed in that, he uses the four corners of the ring quite well on angles and really wings them in there in a DeJesus-like fashion.
