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

If the young buck fights the way he did in his last fight he could potentially stop valdez
but I think it’s a safe bet by unanimous decision for Shakur

Once again Top Rank treating us fans to a great fight, probably on ESPN+. Fantastic deal.

As for the fight, Stevenson by destruction.

Stevenson is going to play it safe and try to spoil the fight, but thankfully he is not a puncher and I can see Valdez trying to push forward trying to land that one punch. I favor Stevenson but I would not be surprised to see Valdez catch up to him and score a knock down making it close on the cards

Lol who says I am crying? It's simply much too hard to tell the difference between satire and reality these days. My bad Mammoth.

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.

He received credit, meanwhile he's made a career of taking info from others. I saw at least 3 stories that he "broke" on his Twitter account this week alone that either this site or Coppinger broke "days" earlier. I can post them for your review, then you can make your excuses for him.

I can see Stevenson lighting him up like he did with Herring. Valdez is fast, but not faster than Shakur

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

See guys, what racism? I just got Shakur his Oscar Valdez fight!

Valdez isn't old like Herring. I agree with most Stevenson wins but Valdez can win this too. He's got heavy hands and some speed. Defense is Valdez problem, but lets see how Stevenson reacts if Valdez lands a good clean shot. It's not a slaughter as some seem to predict, Valdez is quite live in this fight. May be a case of too much too soon for Stevenson. Salido made his fight ugly vs. Loma who had all the advantages lost. Pro experience may well be a factor in Valdez favor.
