Valdeza powerless performance

Former world champion with two divisions, 34-year-old Valdez, entered the fight in a situation where there is no win after losing three of the last five fights. Tonight he exerted constant pressure on younger and larger 24-year-old Medina. Despite this, it was not an basic fight for Valdez, because his younger opponent was still hit.

The results are 100-89, 100-89 and 99-91.

Medina took many penalties in the fourth and fifth rounds from Valdez. Between the rounds he looked like a lifted warrior because of all the arrows that an Oscar landed on him. However, he did not give up and continued the fight, landing nice power shots, forcing Valdez to stick when he approached.

Valdez landed with great blows in the eighth and ninth round, but Medina took them well. The impact, which Valdes threw out many opponents during their best years of fighting in a featherweight, did not affect Medina. Valdez is not the same on 130 as when he was conducting a featherweight campaign in 2012–2019.

In the 10th round, the medina fought strenuous, making the best shots of Valdez and responding as best as he could. Valdez tried to get a knockout. When the medina held, he pushed him away and continued. You could see Valdez’s frustration when he fought at the last minute. He wanted a knockout, but his power did not move a larger medina.

A recent reality for Valdeza

At the end of the fight, Valdez looked like an unfortunate campers when Medina congratulated him. The younger warrior looked pleased that he had gone a distance with the former two-Division world champion. Oscar seemed unhappy and understandable.

His opponent, medina, is a warrior he was to knock out because he is not a world -class pretender. After losing two of the last three fights against losses from Emanuel Navarrete, the medina was a guy who is expected to eliminate Valdez. The fact that he was not a robust sign, that his vision became the world champion in Super Feather in weight is unlikely.
