Comments Thread For: Oscar Valdez Stops Liam Wilson to Rebound, Fulfill His 'Obligation'

[messi807]

Anyone seen that British dude Sid-Knee? He's probably down bad right now lol

[Boxviewer]

Valdez has fought Berchelt, Conceicao, Shakur, Navarrete and Liam Wilson in the span of 3 years. Win, lose, or draw. Gotta give the guy credit, guy has the guts to take on the best available. (3-2 ain't bad though I think Robson lost controversially)

He also has notable wins over champs like Velez, Servania, Gradovich and Ruedas at 126.

Dismissing a fighter because they have lost their 0 in modern times is becoming a horrible standard where it discourages fighters from aiming for more or overall improve as they stagnate.

Hope he gets the bouts with Luis Alberto Lopez or Oshaquie Foster in the future as suggested.

Well said, bro. Unfortunately, we are living in an era of fake perfectionism and boxing fans who look more like celebrities' fans.

Aye I agree. Hopefully the upcoming prospects are more influenced by the remaining throwback fighters like Naoya, Usyk, AJ, Bivol, and etc. (Aware that most fighters listed here are undefeated, I mean they took the best challenges without any advantages) Rather than get fixated on a nearly impossible blue print, it has become more like a celebrity popularity like you said.

Commentary like Timothy Bradley and Sergio Mora doesn't help either.

Tomorrow there will be a throwback fight again, Tim Tszyu whose consistently fighting contenders at 154, still took on the challenge of fighting Fundora when he didn't have to after Thurman got injured. He had prepped to fight a slick fighter during camp, now he has to fight a 6'6" giant pressure fighting southpaw.

And Fundora also stepped up from fighting Bohachuk whose a difficult opponent (23-1, 23 KOs) after Fundora was coming from a loss, to fighting the champ. Props to both.

I'm sorry, why would i be down? Have i missed something?

When are you getting back to that thread anyway? Unless you've already ran away from it and you're not going back? Haha. In that case, that was quick.

I never said anything of the sort. I haven't even mentioned Wilson. Haha. You loon. Wilson won 1 of the completed rounds and was stopped. I agreed with the ref.

Man, i've properly done you, Regge and messi good and proper. But when someone puts you in their place, a narcissist doesn't like it so creates fallacies in order to try and gain control. It's ironic though as none of you have any control.

Good post!!

That's a hell of a 5 fight run. At HW I'm liking Joe Parker's resume although the wins are against faded Wilder and energy deficient Zhang. My favourite run of recent years was Sor Rungvisai's - in the space of 12 months in 2017/18 he beat Chocolatito twice and then beat Estrada - that should have made him P4P#1

Regards your 2nd point - at first it was the fans who held this viewpoint, now even promoters have started to buy into it a little - for example there is more money in an unbeaten Tzsu vs Crawford fight than a Crawford vs Fundora fight so promoters will be hoping Tim prevails

It’s so frustrating when you see fighters have advantages and strengths yet discard them to “have a tear up”. I can’t figure out if it’s the trainers incompetence or the fighter just ignores instructions. Fundora is the same. He’s as tall as a heavyweight yet likes to fight up close. Just use ya stick and move. It’s really not rocket science. Let the haters call you boring. But you’ll achieve far more than some average Joe like me or whoever calling it boring!!

Good fight had a lot of what you want in a boxing match --> a well known and proven fighter who had a loss that nearly took him out of the game, a beating that nearly left him unsure of himself which is dangerous to carry inside the ring. Opp who was younger and had a chance to make a name and inroads to a title all good stuff along with an undercard that did not do much for me but warm up for a more aggressive ballanced fight. Was a nice FNF all over again. Funny "battered and bruised" in August but hell Val was battered and bruised in March last night. That face can only take so much more lacerations and swelling with this late time. Respect for the taking chances Val after a tough fight took another, Liam for going all out and not playing it safe won more fans then if he had danced the night away...... Good solid fight that is all fight fans want .....
