Well I think valdez has big chances to win looks sharp and shakur looked nervous he barely make the weigh
Regardless of this I hope shakur use his famous skills and fight valdez like a warrior instead being running like chicken
I wanna see shakur heart tomorrow
My pick ???
Shakur by bicycle decicion with unflavored Victory
Oscar will be robbed
Sounds like you’re making excuses already. Stevenson is going to outbox Oscar with footwork. Standing in front of your opponent like a moron is not boxing that tough man competition. Him climbing in the ring takes “heart”. How many times have you fought a top guy in pro boxing????? I didn’t think so.
Just because a fighter doesn’t want to trade blow for blow doesn’t mean he’s on a bicycle or a chicken. The name of the game is hit and DONT get hit. Shakur stays center ring most of the time n within punching range. The kids just got good defense n awareness of his range to where he can hit his opponent n not get hit back. He def doesn’t run idk what your talking about.
Yea boxing is hot and get hit but into the boxing terms if you know how to move your waist is more than enough instead running all night
Shakur goods
– great defense
– long reach
– size
– great job
Bads:
– no pinching power
– bad quality oposition
– has not been tested
– lack of heart (avoid fighting forward)
Valdez goods:
– decent punching power
– aggressiveness
-lot of heart
– good quality oposition
Bads:
– sensitive skin (easy to cut)
– too small for 130 lbs
How is Valdez too small for 130 he said he couldn’t make weight at 126 anymore that’s why he moved up
It doesn’t matter, some are too big for their division like Fundora, others too small, like Shawn Porter was. Valdez at 5’51/2″ was a small fetherweight, now at 130 is even smaller
In other words, you are discrediting Stevenson early because you’ve already written off Valdez.. Gotcha.
To be the bigger fighter would never mean a discredit or writing the smaller fighter off, as far as I know boxing doesn’t work that way.
Pacquiao and Lomachenko most of the time were or has been the smaller guys and that was never a reason to have written them off or discredit their bigger opponents
Is not about height is about body frame
It’s not about tall is about body frame Example celestino caballero is 6’1” tall and David tua is heavyweight and he is 5’8” so tua is the big guy even when he is the taller
FunDora is not big he is tall don’t confuse yourself
You comparing a featherweight with a heavyweight, but can you explain how the shorter guy is the bigger man when both are at specific weight? Please don’t come with the rehydration bs because that is uncertain who is going to be the heavier at fight night
Looks like you’re making excuses to discredit Stevenson because you know he’s going to win. “Too small for 130lbs”. The man is a champion and obviously moved up because he can’t make 126.
It’s not an excuse lol is a fact is the body frame not the weight
I hope shakur don’t run like chicken and make boring fight
Most likely shakur will ride his motorcycle
Shakur by gift (oscar will get robbed)
I think that as soon as shakur feel the power he will lose his composure
Shakur has to keep oscar away but oscar is specialist to go inside distance
I wana see shakur heart tomorrow
I am very curious as to how Stevenson will react if he takes a solid punch on his chin.
Folks underestimate Shakur! Not a huge puncher, but enough to keep your ass honest!! I say he slices and dices Valdez to a late round TKO
He will, then they’ll make excuses why it happen. Some of these people are already saying Valdez is too small. Manny was small but an 8 division champion. They just don’t want to give Stevenson credit because they hate mayates
I don’t see a post referring Valdez is too small, just the smaller of the two and that would never be an excuse if he losses the fight. In boxing very seldom you see two contestants exactly the same in weight and body measurements.
I’m just happy we have a good fight to enjoy tomorrow. I think this fight will surprise some people.Oscars’ last 2 fights were against excellent opposition. Should be interesting, and, oh yeah, it’s FREE!!
I got Valdez by KO in 9 rounds!!! Going to be a bad ass fight without a doubt!!! Viva México Cabronesss
When he loses will you give Stevenson credit or make excuses?
Yea …what about you??? You gona give credit to valdez if he wins!!!??
f Shakur has weak chin he will lose late stoppage or decision getting dropped twice..if not he will win decision..8/4
I like Valdez for his heart and agressivity but i have a feeling shakur will beat him by unanimous decision .Good luck for both
Agressivity? Ok, well in this new generation we have a new word. We called it aggression back in the day, but now we have girls as boys and boys as girls, so agressivity it is:)
Valdez with the win of the year!
Valdez looking like he’s even having trouble making 130. Maybe they ran out of clen at mexican whataburger.
Shakur has skills as long as you chase him otherwise he is fried
On fight night, Stevenson will enter the ring with his usual size. However, on fight night, I wonder how much Valdez will weigh because his camp may try to pack excessive weight (regardless of effectiveness) on Valdez, in an attempt to physically wear down Stevenson. I miss the days when they used to display the fighters’ weights on fight night.
If Valdez believes he can simply walk down Stevenson, he may get surprised because although Stevenson is not a natural puncher; Stevenson has stinging punch sequences. Valdez also may get surprised of Stevenson’s physical strength.
If plan A does not work, Valdez and his camp should have plans B and C ready.
