Berchelt suffered tonight and Valdez with better boxing and, above all, better punching won tonight.

It's over, Valdez in the last second sent Berchelt to the canvas and has been proclaimed WBC champion.

Valdez's left jab went straight into the face of "Alacran" and sent him to the canvas, although Berchelt once again got up and has managed to survive.

A very even round where both were erratic in their punches, although Valdez tries from the start to punch, go out or hug to lower the decibels of the fight.

Valdez's speed is starting to fade and now his concern is to avoid punches and clinch to stay alive in the fight. Berchelt has thrown better and has taken the baton of the fight.

Several flurries from Valdez have connected with Berchelt, but he has also thrown three punches to the back of the head that have already been warned. The fight begins to balance, where Berchelt seems recovered and with confidence to go forward.

Berchelt was very static and recovering from the blows of the previous episode, however, Valdez lacked the impetus to go all out in search of victory and let him live.

Valdez started explosively with three direct punches and minutes later he landed several uppercuts that caused damage to Berchelt, who miraculously did not fall to the canvas and the bell saved him from losing.

The "Alacrán" has gradually taken the initiative of the fight and has put Valdez against the ropes on a couple of occasions, who, intelligently, has managed to escape.

Round very even, although Berchelt had a little more initiative compared to the first, releasing a volado that contacted Valdez's face without causing serious damage.

First episode of knowledge where there were very few punches, however, Valdez was the one who looked for more, especially with a couple of jabs.

We are minutes away from the start of the fight between Valdez and Berchelt.

Flores Jr. got on fire and with two right hands sent Velez to the canvas, who could no longer get up and the fight was over in the sixth round.

Velez begins to react and is now the dominator of the fight. Flores has a swelling near his eye, which could make it difficult for him in the following episodes.

For his part, the "Alacrán" pointed out that he has fought better boxers in his career than Valdez, who was an Olympic medalist: "There's a reason I'm the world champion and I've made six successful defenses. I think I have faced better opposition than Oscar (Valdez), fighters like 'Bandido' Vargas, Takashi Miura, Jason Sosa and Mickey Roman".

It is worth remembering that these fighters have a good friendship outside the ring, however, Valdez reiterated that he will not tempt his heart to defeat him: "The Alacran is my friend, but since the fight contract was signed, that ended and I'm going for the title".

There has been much talk for several months about the possibility of this fight, however, due to pandemic reasons, until this February it will take place in the United States.
