ValdezStevenson has a long haul potential to be among the main five at only 24 years of age

It's becoming challenging to contend with Stevenson (18-0, 9 KOs), an amazing southpaw who has brought home big showdowns in two divisions while showingcasing a vibe for his specialty that gives a false representation of his age at only 24.
The 2016 Olympic silver medalist can be just about unapproachable as the need might arise, given his footwork and ordering control of distance. Yet, as he displayed against Valdez, he's similarly able to remain in the pocket and dismantle his adversaries without making huge efforts consequently.
Stevenson may one day accept his abilities as high as 147 pounds. For the present, notwithstanding, the attention is on additional bringing together titles at junior lightweight before tossing his name in with the general mish-mash at 135 pounds, where no deficiency of large names (both youthful and old) as of now live.
