Oscar Valdez needed to fight the perfect fight to beat Miguel Berchelt, and he did just that

Oscar Valdez relished in the afterglow of proving a lot of doubters wrong on Saturday night, as his KO victory over Miguel Berchelt was as thorough and as impressive a performance as the new WBC junior lightweight world titlist could have put together.

After 10 rounds, most of which were spent dictating the fight in the direction he wanted to take it, Valdez further stunned the boxing world by landing a devastating punch flush to Berchelt's face, which knocked Berchelt out cold and ended the fight with just one second left in the round.
