The win for Valdez was the last hurdle that needed to be cleared before he was given a title shot against the aforementioned Berchelt. Watching from his ringside seat on the night was Hall of Famer and one of the best Mexican fighters in boxing history in Julio Cesar Chavez Sr. While Valdez may have picked up the win, Chavez Sr. doesn’t believe he has enough in the tank to handle Berchelt. “He lacked a little more aggressiveness and wasn’t punching as much,” said Chavez Sr. to ESPN Deportes. Despite the impressive run and regardless of what his naysayers have to say, Valdez is trying to stay away from the negativity.
