Ruben Tamayo knows that he is viewed as a long shot to upset Oscar Valdez in their featherweight bout at StubHub Center in Carson, Calif. It would make for amazing theatre if it can happen, considering that the bout will be the 1,000th fight to air on HBO (Saturday, 9:45 p.m. ET/6:45 p.m. local time).
The bout serves as the chief support to a welterweight battle between Timothy Bradley Jr. and Jessie Vargas. Logic suggests that the co-feature will become a showcase performance for Valdez (15-0, 14KOs), a two-time Olympian for his native Mexico. There is plenty of upside to the 24-year old prospect, enough to where Top Rank and HBO engaged in a spirited debate over the right opponent to face in order to make the telecast.
