I don’t think this fight shows that Valdez is garbage. You have to take into consideration the circumstances-replacement opponent at the last minute and Valdez was moving up in weight.
I Still think we’d all have benefited from a Valdez/Shakur fight. Instead Arum moves him into an all Mexican clash with Berchelt rather than give us a significant FW fight that would’ve had some electricity to it.
It’s decisions like this that make you understand why top guys leave TR. fight with Valdez would’ve really elevated Stevenson’s profile win or lose and given us a big fight that would bring more attention to the lower weight classes.
