Only reason Bradley shot ass was able to look good vs JMM is because he ran for dear life, and JMM was so damn roided he could barely get two shots off, let alone his signature combos

and this is where valdez title reign comes to an end

Oscar Valdez vs. Shakur Stevenson - Purse Bid on August 2

The World Boxing Organization has ordered Oscar Valdez to make a mandatory defense of his featherweight world title against undefeated mandatory challenger Shakur Stevenson.

The WBO has sent down a purse bid, taking place at 9:00 a.m. (EST) on Friday, August 2nd, at the Embassy Suites by Hilton Orlando Lake Buena Vista South, Kissimmee, Florida.

The minimum acceptable bid will be $150,000.00 (One-Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars). WBO President Francisco Valcárcel, Esq. will handle the purse bid proceedings.

Both boxers are promoted by Top Rank. Valdez is managed by Frank Espinoza, while Stevenson is handled by the trio of Andre Ward, James Prince and Josh Dubin.

If the fight goes to a purse bid, Valdez will receive 75% of the purse and Stevenson shall receive the remaining 25%.

Valdez (26-0, 20 KOs) won a unanimous decision over Jason Sanchez in June.

Stevenson (12-0, 7 KOs) beat down and stopped Alberto Guevara earlier this month.

Valdez has been struggling to make the featherweight limit of 126-pounds for some time. The boxer's management have stated several times that he's struggling to make the weight - but he's willing to do so to secure fights with Josh Warrington or Carl Frampton. There is very little enthusiasm about taking part in a fight with Stevenson, so it won't be surprising to see Valdez move up.

What about Diego Chaves:unimpressed:




:sas2:
He beat Diego Chaves without much problems, that draw was a BS of the highest order

Couldn't? Provodnikov couldn't cut down the ring if his life depended on it, he was a straight up slugger. Even John Molina outboxed him ffs.
Bradley chose to go in a war cause he was affected by the hatred of fans who were sending him death threats because he got the nod over Pacquiao. He wanted to prove he is a warrior against Provodnikov and he did, he almost got knocked out in the process and was concussed so bad that he doesn't remember anything from round 2 or so and fought on instinct from that point but he did. Even while concussed he outboxed Provodnikov in most of those rounds.

Ehh idk about that yet

Might be too early for him

His best win is who? Christopher Diaz? I'm not saying he can't win but this gonna be a huge jump in quality of opponents for him, Valdez will come to win and to knock him out. He never met pressure even remotely close to what Valdez will bring to him.

Valdez is tricky cuz we don't know how much he has left and any decent threat might be able to edge him out. It's worth the risk imo.

I think that's a better fight to take for Stevenson than Warrington who is basically in his prime and fighting above his level.
