MONTERREY, Mexico —Edwin Valero of Venezuela retained his WBC lightweight belt by stopping Mexico’s Antonio DeMarco on Saturday night. DeMarco sat in his corner and declined to come out for the 10th round of their title fight. The Mexican was well behind on points and, though he had no obvious injuries, officials said he retired on the advice of his handlers. When the fight ended, Valero was eight points up on the scorecards of all three judges. Valero improved to 27-0, with none of his bouts going the distance. DeMarco had only his second career defeat against 23 wins and a draw. “My physical strength started to show,” Valero said. “Little by little, I started gaining ground. The first three or four rounds I couldn’t hit him with my jab, but then I started to connect.” Valero picked up a gash across his forehead in the second round, which came from an elbow by DeMarco that was ruled accidental. Valero needed three stitches afterward to close the wound. Valero said he’d like a fight with Manny Pacquiao, which would force him to move up several weight categories. |
