“He (Eddy Reynoso) was a little bit different this fight. This fight, he was way more aggressive towards me. Kept on yelling at me, kept on reminding me not to mess up because he would tell me that. In training sessions, he would tell me ‘if we keep on working the same way we are working, we are going to win easy’,” said Valdez.
He added, “We are going to do this…He doesn’t know how to walk this way. But you just gotta listen to me.”
After winning against Berchelt, fans saw an emotional Oscar Valdez celebrate inside the ring with his coach alongside. There’s no denying that Valdez is currently a threat to the super featherweight unit and with a strong team behind him, it’s safe to envision him expanding the reign.

Meanwhile, the super-flyweight division has the potential to see constant changes in its titleholders. So, Valdez will have to remain active and continue proving his worth. Moreover, as Valdez is already a two-division champion, he can opt to turn up at a bigger weight class if he successfully cleans out his current division.
