Comments Thread For: Oscar Valdez, Shakur Stevenson Nearing Deal For Unification Fight April 30 At MGM Grand

With Ped testing in place, shakur wins in dominant fashion. Hopkins vs Trinidad style. Even if there isn’t ped testing, shakur still probably wins.

Stevenson is too slick for Valdez.

I think shakur has the best feet in the game. And the feet are more important than the hands .

Arum is going to deliver big for his black fighters now.

Couldn’t we just enjoy a pretty good fight without racial issues entering into the equation? Just once? Please?

Like most, I favor Stevenson but Valdez has fought better competition and is much more powerful. 60-40.

If true, I see Shakur styling on and stopping Valdez. I think Oscar is too punch drunk at this point. I go with the fresher, younger fighter (albeit featherfisted).

Yep, that is most likely the end of the champion road for Oscar.
I see Shakur being intent on making a statement to both 130 & 135lbs divisions

In due time, I see Bob cashing out Loma with Shakur.

But he didn't it was only posted on his personal Twitter page. He barely does anything for anyone outside of his personal substack, which is subscription service and it's not there either. I guess you are behind the times.

OK, well then just write this: “Longtime boxing writer Dan Rafael reported the Stevenson-Valdez negotiations on his Twitter account.”
it’s not that difficult - if you aren’t “behind the times,” that is.

I didn't think Valdez would take the fight, he proved me wrong. The 2 best at 130 mixing it up, great news.

Very easy fight for Shakur.
