Valero, who sustained a big cut on his forehead in the second round from a wayward DeMarco elbow, attacked DeMarco without let up the entire night throwing punches from all angles not far in style to the current pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao until De Marco, who tried to box smart and showing moments of success, succumbed to exhaustion and lost his will power to continue.
