World ranked Alex Valdez returned to action on Saturday night in Ciudad Obregon, Sonora, Mexico and was dominant earning a seventh round stoppage of Genaro Carmago.
Working angles, using his height and reach advantage and a terrific, radar-like jab, Valdez controlled the action from the outset bloodying the brawling Carmago’s face before his corner called a halt to the action after the sixth round.
With the win, the 25 year old Valdez improved to 21-3-2 (15KO’s), while Carmago moved to 24-7-0 (17KO’s). It was Valdez ’s first bout since his loss to WBC Bantamweight World Titlist Hozumi Hasegawa on October 16th.
Going into the bout against Carmago, Valdez was world ranked at #11 by the WBC and the IBF.
Said manager Frank Espinoza, “This was the best of Alex. He was terrific with his jab, using his height and reach perfectly. He boxed beautifully. Carmago was trying to make it an inside brawling type fight but Alex wisely used his great footwork to constantly work his way out of trouble.”
“Ideally, we’d like another shot at the WBC title, but we’ll explore all of our possibilities. With what Alex showed me last night, he’s ready for any of the bantamweight title holders.”
