Looking forward to this Main Event bout between Oscar Valdez and Jayson Velez. I hope that Oscar Valdez is here to bring it tonight and try and Win impressively tonight against an experienced, but aging fight who gets hit a lot. If Oscar Valdez wants the Miguel Berchelt fight, it would be great to see Valdez finish Velez inside the distance and be the first man to stop Jayson Velez in his career đŸ€”đŸ‘ŠđŸ„ŠđŸ‘đŸ€”

Valdez should be careful what he wishes for. Miguel Berchelt is a bad man!!! Not only that he is a terrible match up. Valdez gets hit far too much, Berchelt will beat him up bad!!!

He can forget all of that because Velez is winning rounds here. Valdez trying to adapt to the new style is an issue I feel. He's going to have to revert back to his brawling style very soon or this fight is going to get away from him.

Forget all that!!! Valdez pulls a left hook outta nowhere and gets a Knockdown!!!! Big momentum changer

A great finish by Oscar Valdez this evening with a TKO stoppage over Jayson Velez in the 10th and final round. Valdez has become the first Fighter to stop Jayson Velez in his career. Shows that Valdez has power when he fights aggressive. Although his overall performance was sub par, Valdez also gets hit often and he will have to add 30 - 40% to his overall game, from this evening's to stand any chance of wrestling the WBC Super Featherweight Champion, who Oscar Valdez acknowledges has the best in the Division... In my opinion, Berchelt either beats Oscar Valdez via a clear UD or he Stops Valdez between Rounds 8 - 11, with Valdez taking too much punishment. Berchelt is powerful and throws plenty of hard, damaging punches! May the best man Win. I for one am really looking forward to that bout, should it be arranged đŸ€”đŸ„ŠđŸ‘ŠđŸ‘
