Who did you give the last round to?

Quigg

Valdez seemed like he was just trying to get through it honestly. He poured it on a little over the last 10 seconds, but I thought Quigg was more consistent in the 12th.

Too little, too late on my card though.

Rounds 7 and 9 were swing rounds too though, and I scored both of those for Valdez

Some were close I agree

117-111
117-111
118-110

Valdez via unanimous decision.

118-110 seems a bit harsh, but I can see 117-111 or 115-113 for Valdez as reasonable scores.

In all fairness Quigg's a very tough opponent even on the best of days, and considering that Quigg had a bit of a size advantage on top of it all. It was gonna be a tough night for Valdez regardless. He did well to get through it, and remain unbeaten.

Quigg's only previously lost once and that was to a World Class talent in Carl Frampton. Valdez just performed better than Frampton did against Quigg IMO.

Quigg didn't start later either.. Valdez deserved winner..

Valdez had had too many difficult fights, I think it's because he gets hit a lot. The Servania fight was tough for him too...

marriaga, servenia, and quigg were all tough for him

he has some great speed and stuff but even much slower guys hit him with big shots

Valdez is what he is. He ain't a defensive wizard, he's just a good fighter who has to outfight you and outwill you sometimes. Thus far he's showed the grit necessary to do that.

he has but not sure how many levels up he can go before it catches up to him

This!

Not taking anything away from him.. But I'm looking at the next year or so. He'll likely fight 3 times this year.. His style isn't going to change.

Andy Ruiz Jr 29 1 0
vs
Devin Vargas 20 4 0




Ruiz Jr won by 1st round TKO
