Óscar Valdez might be favorite for this fight, but it would be foolish to underestimate Shakur Stevenson. The 24-year-old American fighter is talked about as 'the new Mayweather' thanks to his devastating combination of speed, style and power.
The New Jersey native has an undefeated 17-0 record, but that doesn't seem to worry Óscar Valdez. The 31-year-old Mexican says he's ready to go 12 rounds for the first time in his career.
"With a fight with Shakur you never know. We can bang if we have to bang, we can box if we have to box, it all depends what Shakur brings," Valdez said at Thursday's press conference.
Saturday's main card is packed with cracking fights, including the return of 21-year-old Nico Ali Walsh, better known as Muhammad Ali's grandson.
