Shakur Stevenson dominated and defeated Mexican Oscar Valdez by unanimous decision and unified the WBC and WBO super featherweight titles at the MGM Grand Garden in Las Vegas.

There was no study round, Valdez came out looking for Stevenson, who with his southpaw guard made things difficult for the Mexican.

Shakur made use of the distance, with the jab he kept Valdez at bay, the Mexican tried from all sides, but the speed of his enemy avoided any collision, in Oscar's corner they asked him to close the angles, but it was difficult. The second chapter reached its end.

Valdez came out with a hot right hand in the third episode, the tricolor released much straight and the missiles exploded in Stevenson's face, the Mexican had finally found the distance to be able to hurt his enemy.

Stevenson was superior, with the jab he did what he wanted, Valdez did not accommodate to the distance, he tried with the right, but the mobility of the American avoided any contact. Eddie Reynoso asked Oscar to work the body more, but the boxer simply could not.

Valdez visited the canvas

Halfway through the fight, Valdez went all out, he was badly stopped and a left from Stevenson sent the Mexican to the canvas; he received the protective count, he was down, but he was not in bad condition.
