The current Valdez position

Valdez has not been fighting since last December, when he was suspended in the sixth round WBO SUPER EMANUEL NAVARRETE. His second defeat for Navarrete was in several years, both of which are unilaterally the most prominent gap between Valdez and the current elite of 130 lbs.

Promoter Bob Arum He stressed that Valdes is still seeking a third world title, although he did not specify the hero who was targeted. The trilogy with Navarrete will have a little attractiveness given the decisive of the first battle. Other belt holders – Lamont Roach Jr, Eduardo “Sugar” Nunez, and Ushaki Foster All of them are dangerous options for a 33 -year -old fighter with miles around the clock.

An important test for Valdes

He said that Oscar Valdez is a proud warrior, and this is a great opportunity for him to return home and prove that he still has what is necessary to compete at 130 pounds. Head of Bob Arum rank. “Oscar has been with the highest rank since he turned to the professionals, and we are in his corner because he tries to become the world champion three times.”

On paper, Medina is not expected to pose a major threat. He dropped two of his last three battles and lacks power at the highest level. However, with the presence of young people to his side, he may be able to test the amount of what remains Valdez. During the past five battles, Valdez lost three – two in front of Navarrete and one to Shakour Stephenon – All unbalanced defeats that raised doubts about his longevity.

Can Valdez restore the last success?

Valdez was more successful in 126 poundsHe won for the first time a world title and established himself as one of the brightest stars of Mexico. Returning to this division can provide a more realistic path again in the competition. In 130, the same intensity or physical strength needed to compete with the current heroes did not appear.
