I always thought Stevenson was bigger than Valdez for some reason. But it doesn't look that way. Great match up.

This is the fight I'm the most hype for.

Same here he looked huge against Herring but from the video they are pretty much even I'm rocking with Oscar it's not going to be easy. Shakur does have great skills but I want to see what happens when he gets hit by a legit puncher the best puncher he's faced so far was that African and he said that's why he fought so tentatively. Oscar can definitely punch harder than that guy so let's see how Shakur can take the shot.

He has wider shoulders and Valdez has narrow ones so he looks smaller. Should be a good scrap.

Stevenson is a great boxer, amd should probablt win. However I want to see of Oscar can land and test those whiskers.

I can unless Valdez tries to box and get gun shy.. Valdez will have to press the issue which will be fun. As long as pressure fighter actually pressure boxers, it's mostly good matches. The problem is when they stop going for broke and just allows the boxers to cruise. I can't see this fight disappointing at all to be honest.

I think that is Valdez only path to victory, apply pressure, cut off the ring and throw those bombs. He can't worry about winning rounds, he isn't winning a boxing match here. He needs to go in with that mentality he had with Berchelt where he felt he was wrongly picked as the underdog and go all out.

It's a Hollywood trick. I saw Stallone do it. When he shakes hands, he gets on his toes for the camera.
