You know, I do believe Lopez has enough to beat Commey, even in spite of his lack of experience. Lopez just needs to give Commey his respect for not only possessing punching power, but just off the fact that he's a world champion.

Boxes him up early, doesn't press for the knockout, i think Teofimo can do it. I'd be more impressed if he fought a smarter fight instead of the more entertaining fight pressing for the quick KO.

I think he can too. I like Commey but he gets a little sloppy & wide with his shots at times. It's only a matter of time before someone catches him & stops him

Manager: Valdez Looking Forward To Berchelt Fight


By Jake Donovan

Oscar Valdez’s days as a featherweight title are now a thing of the past, but present-day news certainly has his team excited for the future.

The unbeaten two-time Olympian from Nogales, Mexico made the hard choice to part ways with his 126-pound title earlier this month. The decision came after a purse bid was won by promoter Top Rank for Valdez to make a mandatory defense versus Shakur Stevenson.

Citing a lengthy struggle to squeeze down into a featherweight frame, Valdez opted to instead begin his campaign in the super featherweight division.

“I was already having a hard time marking 126 pounds, so climbing to 130 pounds will make me feel very good, without losing power,” noted Valdez (26-0, 20KOs) in ending his three-year stay as a featherweight titlist. “I want the best super feathers in the world. I want to fight (World Boxing Council 130-pound) champion Miguel Berchelt.”


A major assist in realizing that goal came on Thursday, when the WBC announced Valdez as its number-one contender in the super featherweight ranking.

“We are excited that Oscar Valdez is now rated #1 by the prestigious WBC organization,” Frank Espinoza Sr., Valdez’s career-long manager told BoxingScene.com on Thursday.

In addition to holding the WBC title, Berchelt (36-1, 32KOs) is the #1 ranked super featherweight according to Transnational Boxing Ratings Board (TBRB), ESPN.com and RingTV. The streaking knockout artist from Merida, Mexico—who has won 15 straight, all but one inside the distance—made his fifth and most recent title defense this past May, scoring a 6th round knockout of Francisco Vargas, whom he dethroned in Jan. 2017.

There’s certainly no better place for an incoming contender to start than at the top. Even if it’s not a straightaway title challenge, the short term goal very much remains a showdown with his countryman.

“Valdez is certainly looking forward to fighting WBC world champ Miguel Berchelt or any of the other world champions at 130,” insists Espinoza. “Oscar Valdez will be a two-time division champ soon and we look forward to the exciting fights on the horizon.”

I like both but Berchelt beats him down :manny:
Bigger, longer, taller, more skilled...
This shyt won’t end well for Valdez

Good fire fight while it lasts though

The way he came in unprepared for Vitali was just fukking pathetic. :hhh:
