The odds for Stevenson is 1.16x, for me it's really small and doesn't worth to bet, I thought his odds around 1.50-2.00x. I think Valdez isn't in his prime anymore, that's why the bookie listed him as an underdog. I was impressed with his performance against Scott Quigg 4 years ago, even his jaw was broken... he still fight and won the fight. But his last fight against Conceicao, he's not perform well.

Maybe Shakur is very confident that he will destroy Oscar Valdez, after all he is the betting favorite if I'm not mistaken.
But yeah, there are boxers who doesn't talk that much but would rather to the work inside the ring. So this is still very close fight as both fighter are still in their prime. This is going to be another compelling fight for boxing fans.

Shakur is still the favorite in this match, he is just too fast for Oscar Valdez, that's what the bookies are thinking and some boxing analysts as well. But we know that a single punch can slow down a fast Shakur so this one is an exciting fight as both are still in their prime and a powerful punch could turn the fight around so Shakur will have his guard up until the final bell rings if he wants to win this one.

Oscar Valdes is not a very eloquent person.
This Mexican boxer does not like to talk in vain, but he knows how to fight well. Silent boxers are the most dangerous boxers.
One of the best boxing trainers in the world (Eddie Reynoso) teaches Oscar Valdez how to counter Shakur Stevenson's boxing tricks. While Shakur boasts about his future victory, Oscar Valdez trains hard.
In my opinion, Oscar Valdez will easily beat Shakur Stevenson. Shakur is too frivolous about the upcoming fight.

These are on their prime, one of the best fighters in this generation of boxing. I would go for Stevenson on this one, I remember his fight between Herring and he gave decent blows to him before racking up points before the referee stepped in. These two boxers deserve each other, the first one to beak his defense will surely be in advance position.

^^ Valdez though is known to have a crazy left hook as well, this is his main weapon now, he used it against Berchelt in their fight to knock him out. That's why this fight is going to be very interesting as both could land solid punch against each other and we will see who's chin and body are going to hold in the end. But so far Stevenson remains to be the favorite to win this fight base on the odds but this can't be for certain as Valdez is also been tested many times and won the fight.
Between the two, Valdez is far superior in terms of experience IMO but what separates Shakur from the past opponents of Valdez is his agility and his defensive skill, which may be the reason why online bookies have put him the favorite to get the W in this fight. Shakur's chin has not been tested thus far and I'm pretty sure that Valdez's power punch could break this so this is what makes this fight interesting as the underdog has a very good chance of winning.
You are right that mate and I think that also Valdez is a good fighter in his division and has a strong stamina that must a fighter needs to fight until the last round of the fight. But we can not predict what will happen in this fight even though Shakur can not knockdown Valdez for sure what is his aiming for is to win this match against the champion and also he will trained hard and double his training to beat Valdez. It's hard to make a choice.
I see the thread, every opinion, in fact I read it several times and I'm still not sure what I can extract to make a good bet, I have the point of view that Valdez has a lethal left hook, and I know that left-handed athletes are much more They are fast and have a strong punch, but on the other hand Shakur knows what is coming and it is not easy at all, he must already have his strategy, if he focuses on both fighters being able to turn this fight around, I would go I think for Valdez, if the fight were right now I would say Valdez for the simple fact that his left hook is lethal.

True, he has a solid defense, but could it be enough to balance and put it on his favor against a aggressive Valdez?
So we want to see Valdez touching that chin and see if it will hold or will it break because of the power or the accumulation of punches from Valdez.
Or if Valdez can break Shakur's defense, or Shakur overwhelming Valdez with body shots because that's what he is known for. Truly opposing style that there's a lot of scenario and speculation right now as to how the fight will go.

Shakur knows what Valdez main weapon is, potentially he has an approach on how to negate it or at least counter with his own body shots.

Their style will really be shown in this fight, a defensive boxer against a offensive fighter. We will know which one will prevail and what kind of style it is. It could go to 12 rounds or this could fight wouldn't last if they decided to fight mano a mano in the center.
However, he can appeal to trust his own instinct and face him without fear to his left and he would be showing that he is not afraid of anything, even Valdez himself who is irreverent to them.

Well, Valdez has to find a way to beat his opponent if he displayed a good defensive skill, in the end, it's still not the most entertaining boxer who would win but the one who hit his opponent more than he gets hit, that's boxing, that's the sport we are watching.
Based on the betting odds, Stevenson is the heavy favorite to win. I'm surprised but that's how the bookies see this fight.

For Valdez bettors, the odds is very enticing, gett 2.75 (in decimal format) as a return of your money if you win is already good.
Yep, but sometimes bookies are wrong though in their odds making, so imagine Valdez being an underdog wherein he can pull and win this fight even with a knock out because he has power in both hands. So no worries for Valdez fans, they can easily pull the trigger in this one because of the odds and for sure maybe some whales are going to put a lot of big money on Valdez winning this fight.

Date: April 30, 2022
Venue: Lase Vegas
This fight is one of the most awaited fight for this year.
A knockout artist vs defense oriented fighter, who will prevail?
Though odds are not available yet as of this writing but i have a gut feeling the Oscar Valdez will be the slight favorite as he is the more experienced of the two.
What's your thoughts on this?

“I have been chasing this fight for nearly three years since we were both at featherweight," Stevenson said in a press release. "On April 30, I’m going to show him and the world why he ducked me all this time. I’m the best young fighter in the world, and I will become unified champion.”
Valdez's heard what Stevenson's been saying about him and vows to quiet him once and for all.
"I want to make it clear that I am the best 130-pound fighter in the world,” Valdez said. “We know Shakur Stevenson is very good at fighting, but he's even better at social media. I'll let my fists speak for themselves.”

Most of us just wanted to see the boxer right on standing in the middle throwing fists.
That's why we want someone like Valdez in the ring but Judges and Analysts probably are not seeing it that way. When they see a fast defensive fighter like Floyd or Shakur. We don't appreciate it that much but fighters themselves like to see how a boxer avoids clashing in the middle but wants to score by outsmarting opponents. I still believe Valdez to succeed in this match, hope to bet big next month.

Shakur is obviously taunting Oscar since he know that he is the crowd favorite and he is hungry for this match because he keeps following Valdez title while Valdez keeps dodging him by going to higher weight class and vacating his title. This match is actually surprising considering how underdog Valdez to Shakir while Valdez keeps choosing a mismatch opponent. I will definitely go for Shakir on this match because he was proven unstoppable despite many strong opponents he faced in his previous match. Valdez face is easy to bleed a hard puncher like Shakir will gonna have a frenzy time chasing him inside the ring.
This is definitely a mismatch IMHO.
This is definitely a mismatch IMHO.
Blame Uncle Bob for it all
.Top Rank is building Valdez and TBH I'm quite surprised on this move the Top Rank to have this match early as we have seen in the past how they manage the career of their boxers where they pit their best when they are not in their peaks.
IMO, this is not a mismatch, Shakur is just the favorite because of his defensive style of boxing but one power punch could change it all in boxing and we all know that Valdez has that kind of power that could change the outcome of the match if given the opportunity.
Promoters are highly considering how much money they can generate from the fight.
So maybe Top Rank is seeing that this match will give them good revenue and they need that money because of the long break in the past couple of years.
They won't make this fight happen if they are not seeing something profitable for this match.
But as far as I know, a lot of boxing fans don't like a defensive style because it is too boring. A lot still want a toe-to-toe fight as much as possible.
