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.
