Antonio DeMarco and Edwin Valero held public workouts, gearing up for their big battle this weekend for the lightweight championship. Take an inside look at the training camps of both fighters as they wind down their preparations and get ready to meet in the ring.
In an eagerly awaited showdown this Saturday, Feb. 6, on SHOWTIME®, Valero of the Dominican Republic will put his amazing record of 26-0 with 26 knockouts and his world title belt on the line against Tijuana’s DeMarco (23-1-1, 17 KOs), who has won 12 and a row and is unbeaten in his last 16 (15-0-1), in the main event on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING (9 p.m. ET/PT, delayed on the West Coast). The last time a SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING broadcast aired from Mexico was March 7, 1998, when Julio Cesar Chavez boxed a draw with Miguel Angel Gonzalez. It’s the first card on SHOWTIME from Monterrey in more than 15 years, or since Chavez stopped Tony Lopez on Dec. 10, 1994.
In Saturday’s co-feature at Arena Monterrey, unbeaten, world-ranked Luis Carlos Abregu (28-0, 23 KOs) meets Richard Gutierrez (24-3, 14 KOs) in a 10-round welterweight bout.
