Venezuelan Valero boast an impressive record
|
Edwin Valero extended his knockout streak by stopping Michael Lozada after one minute and 12 seconds in Tokyo to keep his WBA super featherweight title.
The Venezuelan has won all 21 of his fights by knockout - 19 in round one - but is banned from fighting in the USA due to brain scan irregularities.
Valero, 25, is now targeting a shot at top-rated Filipino Manny Pacquiao.
"I want Manny next and I don't want to hear any more excuses from Manny about not wanting to fight me," he said.
Pacquiao endorsed his reputation as the division's premier fighter by stopping Erik Morales in round three last November.
