JoJo Diaz vs Oscar Valdez

[La Mera Verdad]

A classic Mexican vs Mexican-American fight.
Who would you favor in a fight at 126 ?

I'd favor Oscar Valdez over Joseph Diaz Jr., . They both fought solid competition in their last few fights in Rene Alvarado for Diaz Jr. and Jose Ramirez and Ruben Tamayo for Valdez.

I favor Valdez because even though he didn't drop or stop Tamayo he stuck to his game plan and controlled the pace of the fight whereas Diaz Jr. got dragged into a brawl against Alvarado. Their power seems about equal. Neither really has one punch knockout power, but they hurt their opponents by accumulation of punches.

I'd take Valdez by decision.

I'd love to see this fight get made right now, but that will never happen. I think they'll fight down the line though since GBP and Top Rank are currently in a good working relationship.
