Official highlights
Valdez did an excellent job in front of a left handed boxer with a lot of ring experience. He connected a lot of head punches with great accuracy but forgot at all to go for the body which permitted Tamayo finishing the fight with still good mobility.
I’m quite surprised that the fight didn’t ended with a knock out since Valdez’s record show him as a very impressive power puncher.
guess his record is a bit padded.
He was landing with all the power he could muster.
Nerveless – getting showing.
You could be right with your comment since most of them looks like as power punches to me unless Tamayo has an iron chin.
