    Is Valdez good option for odds?

    Valdez is clearly underdog on odds. Stevenson has -600 and Valdez has +425 odds. I think his chance is higher than people think. I give 65/35 chance to Stevenson. So, Valdez has a good chance imo. What do you think?

    I don't track lines on boxing b/c it's too corrupt. Stevenson is not going to walk into a counter. Trains with Crawford but fights more like Ward, the other guy he trains with. Maybe place a bet on how many rounds Valdez could win? IF you can place a 5-6 fig bet, this seems like easy money, or could take Dwyer's advice, betting advisory from your attorney, LOL? Top Prank knows how to move kids (That's why Lubin and Mosley Jr should have signed with them). It's obvious they didn't want to put Valdez in with Stevenson.

      Not seen a great deal of either but I don't see why not. All the comments I see lead me too think think its supposed to be a mismatch or foregone conclusion but is it?
      Valdez can box, he can **** he's far more experienced and has a great team around him.

      Shakur is all eye test up to now the kids fought nobody.

      I think its a case of a slickster getting way too much credit prematurely. Beat Valdez first then we can start talking about Shakur vs other top guys being potential mismatches.

      I'm not buying into these predictions or odds at this current time. IMO its a safety in numbers thing. This is a big, big step up in class.

        I thought you’d be a fan of Shakur given you’re a lover of all things technical.

        He’s more talented than any of the guys at 130/135lb IMO, but agree he hasn’t been tested yet. This should be his coming out party

          Just because Valdez is a tough kid, I placed three tenners on him winning by KO in the 9th, 10th and 11th rounds respectively. Odds are too good to resist at 41:1 and 51:1.

          But my actual pick is Stevenson by late KO or decision. Stevenson is no Berchelt. I feel he has to come out with a statement tonight.

            I think this fight will be a lot closer than some are expecting. Dropping 500$ on Valdez at +425 could net about 2.5K. It’s worth the risk.

              I've got a 2 fight parlay on DK with Serrano -140 & Valdez +475 for a +885 total. I threw $50 on it.
