[Malvado]

4-2 to Valenzuela, possibly 5-1

Man I don't want to see Jose Valenzuela get any more damage, every time he comesback, he wins, but then he takes a bout that takes a toll on him and looks worse off in his next fight. For someone who took some challenges after just 10 fights, and no amateur pedigree. He has a milage on him as he just doesn't take breathers.

Torres only faced one ranked contender before, and to be fair it was Raymond Muratalla. But he doesn't have other notable fights outside that. He sparred Matias and Zepeda after he joined Panda Najar two years ago, and also trains under the Cuban coach Carlos Duarte. So 2 years while getting busy, doing a moi visa check, fighting at high altitude in the mountains, and good sparring might he show in this fight.

Valenzuela is tough and skilled, but the cumulative damage from his fights is starting to show. Torres, while less tested in ranked bouts, has had solid preparation, training under Carlos Duarte, sparring with Matias and Zepeda, and conditioning at high altitude, which could give him an edge in this fight.

Think Torres the 7th, but if Valenzuela wins one more round, he probably wins by UD.

So far although competitively, Valenzuela has won most rounds, but he seems to be affected by every clean shot. If Torres could score a down, Rayo would struggle to bounce back in the bout. Seems unlikely though despite what I mentioned.

This has been a surprisingly good card.

[Malvado]

Valenzuela would need another extensive break to recover until the end of the year. So far so good though, I think that he will do good at Lightweight. Though despite his punch resistance and skillset. Might be prone to a heavy handed fighter.

[Malvado]

Whoever this skipper guy is, yes, Rayo is winning, but come on all 9 rounds to one fighter?

[LA_2_Vegas]

Those were good fights on the main card.

Pretty good weekend of boxing overall, had space before the Super Bowl.

[Malvado]

6-4 to Valenzuela, or 7-3. Nonetheless quite good fight, whole card delivered.

What were the final scores? My stream cut out.
