Miguel Berchelt and Oscar Valdez weighed in and are set for their main event tomorrow night (Saturday, February 20, 10 pm ET, ESPN and ESPN +), with Berchelt’s WBC junior lightweight title at stake.
Berchelt and Valdez weighed in at 130 pounds for the fight, and now we are officially, fully prepared, all things as they should be, for the long-awaited fight tomorrow night.
There seemed to be at least a little concern on Berchelt’s side (37-1, 33 KO’s) about his weight, but he got it on the first try, the first time he really reached the 130 pound limit in 15 months, he had a fight not sanctioned last summer in Mexico.
“I don’t feel like a favorite. I’m not going to step in the ring like that, ”said Berchelt to Bernardo Osuna, who translated. “I just know that I will go in there and give everything. You will see all the hard work I did at the gym. We will leave with a great victory. “
“I prepared myself 100 percent. I seriously doubt that he trained harder than I did, ”Valdez (28-0, 22 KO) told Mark Kriegel. “I can’t wait to have that title. I’ve been tested before, I struggled with a bruised rib, a broken jaw, and was sent to the canvas several times. I’ve always fought it. There is nothing that I have not seen. “
For the co-appeal, the undefeated junior prospect Gabriel Flores Jr (19-0, 6 KO) and Jayson Velez (29-7-1, 21 KO) both weighed 132 pounds, the contract weight for their fight. They will begin transmitting the main card at 10 pm Eastern Time in a 10 round fight.
