Oscar Valdez on Shakur Stevenson saying he doesn’t really want to fight him:
“Why not? If it’s there, I’ll take it. I was a little bothered, I’m not gonna lie, I was bothered with people thinking I moved up a division because I was ducking Shakur Stevenson. I been boxing ever since I was eight years old, I ain’t scared to fight nobody. And what more can I prove by trying to face a guy like ‘El Alacran’ Berchelt I personally think ‘El Alacran’ Berchelt is a way tougher fighter than Shakur Stevenson.
“He’s a harder puncher, he’s a natural 130-pounder, he’s knocking all these guys out. So if I was scared of fighting somebody you’d think I’d be afraid to fight Berchelt. I’m not scared to fight no fighter, I’m especially not scared to fight Shakur Stevenson. He’s a great fighter, great technical fighter, you know, Olympian silver medalist. He’s a great fighter, nothing bad about him...”
