Valdez was already a well-known boxer, but he still managed to surprise even more last February when he knocked out Miguel Berchelt in a brilliant fight. After that, however, he had a controversial fight with Brazilian Robson Conceição.
He has held a variety of important titles since 2016 and has regularly defended them, but you won't find any big names among the challengers.
Shakur Stevenson: With WBO belt, no losses
Stevenson fought in the final of the Olympic Games in Brazil when he was 19 years old. Now he's 24, and he's still considered promising, albeit with a belt. He hasn't given any reason to doubt himself. He goes into the fight with Valdez as a wild favorite.
In his last fight, Stevenson won by TKO against Jamel Herring.
I didn't say I was already ranked as one of the best boxers in the world, but I said that after this fight when I beat Valdez, I would be in it. I've been waiting for this moment all my life. All these years, including playing in the amateur ring, I've been preparing for this moment. I feel like I'm ready.
Expert Betting Tips
The fighters have zero defeats for two, but there is a difference. If Stevenson is stable and confident in dealing with his opponents, Valdez has had many bad fights. If Oscar's level is generally clear, Shakur may well add.
Stevenson is not a knockout fighter, so betting on him to win by decision looks quite logical.
