Stevenson climbed the ladders of the 130-pound division real quick. In his last fight, he dethroned the WBO champ, Jamel Herring, in a one-sided outing. From the first bell, ‘Fearless’ applied immense pressure on his adversary, pressing him constantly with his aggressive approach.
As a result, Herring did not have any answers to Stevenson’s assault, and he ended up capitulating to a T/KO loss in round 10. With that, ‘Fearless’ put himself on top of the division, opening himself up for some momentous fights.
However, Stevenson only had one opponent in mind, and that was Oscar Valdez. Time by time, the 24-year-old showed his keenness to square with the fellow undefeated fighter. Now, he’s in for the fight he wanted and Stevenson will only look to go big from hereon.

Oscar Valdez trains under Eddy Reynoso’s wing, and just like the latter’s other fighters, the former too is a highly aggressive technician. On the other hand, Stevenson too has proved his case by demolishing his adversaries to the pulp.
