Knocked the fuckity fuck out. That was the biggest KO for a long time in a big fight. That was a JMM Manny knockout. I have to say Berchelt wasn't at the races though. His feet were slow as fuck and got worse with the knockdowns. Amazing win for Valdez though.Quote:

That could be the story here. Should have moved up but was chasing ten defences and now after that punch he's never going to be the same again.Quote:

Valdez was 7/1 for the KO :)

When Berchelt said in the corner "ya valio verga" That certified to me that his spirit was broken.
That was probably the most chills I have gotten from watching a boxing KO in a while. I thought Tank's KO of LSC was gonna be hard to be beat but this KO was next level. Luckily that left hook hit Berchelt on the low on the temple, not high, or it could have been even more ugly. And also the ref just slighly broke Berchelt's fall which also helped.

But despite that even when they loaded Berchelt in the ambulance it's clear to see he still hadn't no where near recovered.

He had nothing left but his heart to carry him on. But credit to both guys for their showing in there and hope Berchelt is ok. After taking all the big shots he took and then get viciously KOed like that, he may will never be the same again.
Spot on I really enjoyed that fight .🙂Quote:

Without an audience I could hear Valdez' excitement. Kudos to Bercheldt for trying to get himself in the fight midrounds, seemed that 4th round drubbing, this would've been over by the 5th or 6th.
Skills, speed, ring generalship and power by Valdez, unfortunately for Berchelt, just heart was on display. There won't be a rematch nor trilogy for Miguel to get a win. Same result each time.
Where does Oscar Valdez fit in the scope of today's best?
3 years @ Feather. His breakout fight for me was the Quigg fight.
At 1st I thought he was just a solid fighter as Quigg busted that azz, jaw, nose, bloodied. total war against IMO another solid, but not a great fighter in Quigg.
With Berchelt there are 2 compromising issues for Oscar's win. 1- is the recovering from covid. the 2nd is Berchelt's way to win was never going to be about being the slicker fighter, nevertheless, this leads to what does make a good fighter great: finding ways to win.
Shakur Stevenson, Rhakimov, Herring, Diaz Jr & of course Tank. Some potential fireworks here.
Can he become the star of the division? I'm thinking Tank's time at this weight is limited.
Who should he fight next or most likely opponent be?
I thought the sparring session with the bigger Canelo revealed the limitations of Valdez. No way should a guy as big as Canelo make this guy miss as clear as he was. Sparring only, but if he can't catch a guy whose standing in front of him, not sure if he can last with Tank who isn't a stand-in-front fighter.

What a fantastic performance from Valdez. I was worried going in as he hadn't looked good in recent fights at 130.
I have always felt that when he boxes Valdez is very hard to beat. He always tended to make things harder for himself by brawling.
And what a KO!
Most have probably already seen it but I thought I'd upload a good copy incase anyone wants it:
