Jayson Velez senses Oscar Valdez doesn’t truly realize what awaits him Tuesday night.

Velez has heard and read so much about a Valdez-Miguel Berchelt bout, the durable Puerto Rican contender cannot help but believe Valdez and his team are overlooking him entering their 10-round junior lightweight fight. If Valdez defeats Velez in a main event ESPN will air from Las Vegas, promoter Bob Arum intends to match him against Berchelt next in a fight for Berchelt’s WBC super featherweight title.

“He’s underestimating me,” Velez told BoxingScene.com. “They are talking too much about fighting Berchelt, but I will destroy that plan. I will beat Valdez, and then I will go for Berchelt. They’re talking too much. They’re secure in that they will beat me, and that’s not gonna happen. When I fought ‘JuanMa’ Lopez, it was the same. He was talking about fighting [Yuriorkis] Gamboa and a rematch against [Orlando] Salido. I ruined that plan, and I will do the same with Valdez.”
