"Don't let nobody tell you that you can't do nothing." He also accomplished another feat tonight. The world's first quadruple negative sentence.
From the couple of time I saw him, it was obvious that Belchert was limited. Seemed to me he was mostly winning because if his size
Stylistically, Valdez Will Be a More DIFFICULT Puzzle to Solve than Berchelt Would've Been...REED Thought That PRIOR to Valdez's KO of Berchelt... Shakur's a Natural Counterpuncher, But He'll Have to LEAD More Than He's Accustomed to vs. Valdez... REED
I know. I don't think he wins. In terms of excitement, I would LOVE to see Valdez vs Davis, but that's a pipedream.
All the More Reason Why Valdez Should MAKE Shakur Lead... Shakur Has Yet to Face a Boxing BRAIN Like Valdez's, as a Pro...Not to Mention the Corner Comprised of Eddy Reynoso... Shakur Will Be HEAVILY Favored, Like Berchelt, REED Will Pick Shakur to Win, as He Did Berchelt, But Oscar Valdez CAN'T Be Completely Ruled Out Anymore... REED
hopefully berchelt is ok. that was a beating, he cut a lot of weight and looked terrible in the ambulance
Could be a juicy ppv matchup. Depending on the espn impact. We will see how good the ratings are, and how many casual fans took note of the highlight reel KO
Berchelt's punishment resistance will never be the same again. I think he's basically food at 135-140.
Berchelt looked bad at the end. His cat scan was clean allegedly so that's great news. But he should retire
Nah, I don't think he should retire. I wanna see him try and comeback. I really wanna see Frampton vs either of these two, for some reason. I think they'd be great fights.
I am actually surprised that no one else even thought this would be a close fight. I picked Berchelt but you see my prediction of a close fight. My feeling now is that Oscar Valdez was severely underrated by a bunch of people/websites/writers.
Frampton??? What's the point of Valdez fighting that has been? It's a step back. TR will likely look to make Stevenson vs Valdez sometime this year.
He just beat the number one super featherweight. Everybody is a step back. If Frampton beats Herring, it's a good fight. Don't tell me you'd rather watch a boring chess-match from Stevenson than a war with Frampton?
I would much much rather Stevenson vs Valdez because its two undefeated, top guys in their primes and a case can be made on both sides. I'm not totally convinced it would be boring. Shakur might pick him apart for a stoppage, or he might get blasted. I dont give a shit about Carl Frampton and have zero interest in seeing him get outclassed by a top fighter.
Why would he be outclassed? Cruz couldn't outclass him and he's clearly better than Valdez. If Frampton beats Herring, which is the only way this fight gets made, it'll be a guaranteed war between two champs. I'd much rather see that than some boring ass chess-match between a POS who has done nothing. In fact, I'd rather see any fight vs another name in the division right now vs Valdez than Stevenson.
Whether he isn't or he is, he isn't better than him to the point where he'd will outclass an opponent that Cruz went 1-1 with.
w/Top Rank Being the Prominent Promoter of Record @ '30, REED Thinks Lomachenko is the X-Factor... If He Really DOES Want a RE w/Teofimo, Who Knows How Things Play Out @ '30???...But if Loma is Keen on Moving Back Down, REED Would Expect Top Rank to AGGRESSIVELY Set Up Unification Bouts, While Working Loma Into the Mix Simultaneously... Despite How Anyone Feels About Shakur Stevenson, a Bout Between Him and Loma w/Belts @ Stake, Would Be Pretty BIG... Honestly, Loma's Such a NAME, He Wouldn't Even Have to Garner a Title to Be Included in the '30 Sweepstakes...Loma's as Big a MONEY Fight as Anyone's Going to Get @ '30... The Plan Seems to Have Always Been Shakur vs. the Frampton-Herring Winner....Valdez-Berchelt Seems Toooooooo 1-Sided to Consider a RE, So Maybe Valdez-Loma Could Happen Later This Year???... Lots of Possibilities @ '30...But w/Top Rank Calling the Shots, Full Unification is a Distinct Possibility... REED
I hope TR realizes that it would be logical to make Stevenson vs Loma at the Garden - I sure as Hell would go.
On fightnews, they said Teofimo plans to fight Haney for his belt next and then move up to 140. They didn't even mention a rematch with Loma. What about Tank Davis vs Loma?
