Expert Betting Tips
This bout will be a tough call to make. The bookies are in favor of Arturo Popoca, and it is quite understandable. He is the younger fighter and currently unbeaten. Valdezi is currently with a much better experience but sincerely has been questionable in his last fight loss that cost him the NABF Super Bantamweight Title. I will also slide with Arturo Popoca to defend his title and this fight to go to the end.
