Anyhow, I agree that this fight is hard to bet because of the contrasting style, majority favors Valdez because of his power but the odds for Shakur is like went from 1.14 to 1.11. So again, smart money goes to Shakur but underdog bettors love the odds they see on Oscar but probably putting a small to medium bet, I reckon.

Here is the video of the weigh-in.

Both fighters make the weight and they looked trim.

Oscar said that they are ready to bang if needed and well box if needed as well so I think we can witness world-class boxing a few hours from now, good luck with your bets as well.

Yes, both make the weight, Valdez looks very serious though and tense in the weigh-in, while Shakur is all smiles and very confident about the fight.

This is going to be a good fight, and it's really hard to predict what will be the outcome. I haven't put my bet yet to be honest.

Although most of the users here have chosen Oscar Valdez to win this fight but this is a fight where I have a hard time choosing whom to bet on.

You can't hurt what you can't hit, that's what I'm thinking right now and I'm skeptical about how can Oscar Valdez could hurt Shakur in this fight but looking at the odds which is too attractive for me, I'm going for Oscar to win this fight.

Hope in the middle rounds when Shakur is already tired, Oscar can unload accurately those power punches that could end the night for the former.

Yep, I watched this few hours ago. I know that both could make their into their weigh-in and they are definitely ripped especially Oscar Valdez. Shakur is will be always Shakur who's smirks a lot unlike Valdez who don't even show his teeth nor smiled to the audience, he is serious as ever. Well, good luck to the both of them.

As usual Valdez looks very serious when he faced his opponent in the press conference, he didn't even smile to Stevenson. While Stevenson looks more confident and often smiled to Valdez.

There's no much change about the odds, many users here predict Valdez win in this match... don't miss to place your bet if you're Valdez fans since the odds is juicy. It's already few hours before the fight happen, this will be an interesting fight to watch.

Shakur need to be careful on this fight because surely he will have a big problem in the middle of the fight although he has speed and power punches as well but the technique there's a big difference and for me it's quite skeptical if we will make a comparison between two fighters, wherein surely there will be KO and maybe by Valdez.
That's what I wanted to see, technical fighters are boring to watch, except LOMA, so hopefully this fight is going to be a candidate for the fight of the year. I like the fact that they are giving us a good fight, an aggressive fighter versus a technical one, let's see if Shakur would still be able to do his thing when the pressure is high as we all know Valdez just loves to attack.
Hopefully this fight will be an entertaining to watch and we can see what we expect from this fight as both of them is a different fighter of themselves, Shakur should not only rely on his speed because Valdez will read that movements for sure and could give him a dangerous spot if Shakur is a bit too aggressive as the latter will just be observing him most of the time before he starts to throw few connecting punches that could surely hurt the favorite.

Many players are now betting on the victory of Oscar Valdez.  Some experts believe that he is an outsider of the upcoming boxing match.  I don't think...

As far as I know, Valdes is actively preparing for the upcoming fight.  He probably trains his speed characteristics as well.  He really needs to move faster to knock out Shakur.  

If Shakur attacks from the very beginning, then Oscar Valdez will have the advantage.  Valedez is very good at defending himself from direct punches.  After repelling Shakur's attack, he will be able to go on a counterattack.  

The fight could end in a knockout.  In my opinion, Oscar Valdez will win the upcoming fight.

^^ Yeah, I like both of the odds, it's really very attractive because Oscar Valdez is the underdog although we all know that he has a good and solid power in both hands.

I'm sure that smart money might go with Stevenson, but those bettors who will back up Valdez as the underdog because of that great odds and I think the bookies might have put it wrong to have that kind of odds for him.

In a bet right now I think I would go for VALDEZ, I would appeal to Valdez to manage his times more, resist and make him enter his field so that he can dominate, for me that is what will happen.

Either by KO or by Decision, the odds for backing Valdez are too tempting while betting for Shakur is not attractive at all, especially the ML.

The fight will be on the weekend already and below are some options/markets on how to bet for the fight and I guess many will go for Oscar with the figures shown below.

Many analysts have said that Shakur is just too quick for Oscar but I think the latter could catch him in the middle rounds when Shakur is already tired and that might be the time Oscar will do damage to Shakur.

But in any case, the smart gamblers will have to put a lot of money on Shakur, but for me, might be better to look for the underdog in this fight, IMHO.

You'll never know which is a smart bet until the fight is over.

Lots of boxing fights that an underdog won the fight, and there's no doubt that Oscar Valdez could potentially upset the favorite to win here because of his aggressiveness and his explosiveness, so personally, as to skills-wise, I believe that Stevenson has the edge but if he gets tired then Valdez will definitely win the fight.
In this fucking is where the biggest of my doubts comes in, bet that he will resist or Shakur's speed? I don't know, because for me the boxing that Valdez will manage will be something very intelligent, he knows that his strength is to reach more possible rounds than to kill everything by knockout, for me he does not have that style, on the other hand Shakur does, he he is a different kind of boxer.

In a bet right now I think I would go for VALDEZ, I would appeal to Valdez to manage his times more, resist and make him enter his field so that he can dominate, for me that is what will happen.

As I said, number won't lie. Valdez have more IQ in the ring as he do have more experience than Shakur who's just starting to build his own career.

This may be true but, how many champions have lost their belts because of relying of them being an experienced fighter? A hard hit on a chin can knock him out, so it is still early to tell whether the odds of Shakur's winning is zero. Let's wait and see for ourselves if Shakur really has the chances of winning which is I am rooting for.

Agreed but if we're not basing it on their experience then where will we base it? We have this discussion to help the bettors like us and give a good opinion. I understand why you said that because you're rooting for Shakur, I won't argue you on that. However this is a discussion about these two and I'm not a fan of Valdez either but seriously looking on their stats it makes me side with Valdez too.

Nobody was saying that Shakur's chances is zero though Grin

I would likely be rooting for Valdez because of the odds. Damn they made this guy the underdog when he is just 30. He can do what Shakur can do and even better as they are both undefeated. Shakur doesn't often knock out his foe in the ring.

The one that I'm just going to suspect though is that Shakur is being hyped by Top Rank.  Not saying that Valdez would sell the game but its possible if his loss is very obvious.

Yes, it's true that Oscar Valdez is labeled as an underdog despite of his KO capabilities and good defensive style, him being the underdog is good for us because the odds are much prettier than the crowd and sports favorite Shakur Stevenson who's record isn't that much attractive together with his KO capabilities. Aside from betting, my support also goes for Valdez.

I'm also confused why Valdez is the underdog because his records is indeed more impressive than Stevenson. As for the odds, might as well take advantage of this chance while we can take this odds because I have a feeling that this odds will move and not be this pretty until the day of the fight.

Any speculations here on how would this fight ends? I'm thinking that this will be a split or unanimous.

He doesn't have to say it because those few big words is already a proof and surely enough that he is surely over his head because he thinks that Valdez is avoiding him because Valdez is afraid of him. He better mean those words because it may come back to him if he can't stood his ground on their fight.
I judge his attitude of confidence to have been willing to fight Valdez, so I don't think those words were meant to attack personally but we enjoyed it, because before the game starts there will be a lot of controversy news between the two, although one may be cold and choose to show in the punch in the boxing ring.

Quote
Valdez may be the underdog here but I trust his capabilities and power to defeat Shakur. That is not really a nice wise words coming from Shakur himself.
Based on the top rank, Valdez seems to dominate because he has a record of 23 KO and Stevenson with a score of 9 KO, so that in every boxing match, the attitude of the potential winner will maintain his ego after winning a boxing match.

He may have that confidence but that won't help him to beat Valdez especially in the long run, experience-wise and stamina-wise I certainly thinks that Valdez have those advantages as surely numbers won't lie. But yes, you're right, that's just his own way to market the fight even if those words will make him regret once he is on the ring.

As I said, number won't lie. Valdez have more IQ in the ring as he do have more experience than Shakur who's just starting to build his own career.

Oscar Valdez might not gonna enjoy this one because Stevenson is capable of turning the table of this fight once he can take the punches against Oscar. This is how Unification bout should be and as we all know, they are not really that popular compared to the other boxers and they need to sell this fight with their good performances and some unforgettable events that would gonna escalate the pay-per-view sales of their next fight.
Well, if he would just run and Valdez is leading the score, there's no way he will beat Valdez here. They have different style probably but they have to be convincing to the judges if they want to win, and when the fight is close, based on what I see on the previous fights, the aggressor usually get the votes of the judges.

If Stevenson will go toe to toe it will be the advantage of Valdez because it's his style, he can throw and take punches as well, that's what I like about this guy because he is fun to watch, and though he is an underdog here, I would still think his chance legit to win and I see that value on the betting odds.

The current odds for Valdez is +500, that's very attractive.
