Oscar Valdez is a two-division Mexican world champion whose career has blended high-volume aggression with elite-level technique. Turning pro in 2012 after a decorated amateur run, Valdez quickly became known for his fast hands, tight combinations, and willingness to trade when the moment demands it. At only 166 cm tall with a 168 cm reach, he is compact for the upper weights, but he compensates with sharp footwork and a disciplined guard that lets him enter and exit range safely. Through 36 professional bouts he has compiled a 33-3 record with 24 knockouts, a 72.73% KO rate that reflects real finishing power even against world-class opposition. His best weapons are body-head sequences and the right hand he throws in quick rhythm after a jab or a feint. Valdez often pressures in bursts, forcing opponents to reset, then punishing them as they try to re-establish distance.

The defining stretch of his prime came at featherweight and super featherweight. He captured major titles, defended them against dangerous contenders, and repeatedly proved he can fight through adversity. Wins over fighters like Miguel Berchelt, Robson Conceicao, Scott Quigg, Genesis Servania, and multiple successful defenses showcased his heart and adaptability. Even in losses—against Shakur Stevenson and Emanuel Navarrete—Valdez remained competitive, showing grit and the ability to adjust mid-fight. The 2024 rematch with Navarrete ended in a knockout defeat, but Valdez rebounded in 2025 with a disciplined decision win over Richard Medina in his hometown region, signaling that he still belongs in big fights. With veteran experience, crowd-pleasing style, and championship pedigree, Valdez continues to be one of Mexico’s most respected action fighters at 130 pounds.

Tips / interesting facts:

1. Valdez is most dangerous after he doubles the jab—his right hand usually follows immediately.
2. Many of his stoppages come from sustained body work that slows opponents by rounds 6–9.
3. He often switches tempo mid-round, using short flurries to steal momentum on the cards.
4. Despite a compact frame for 130 lbs, he closes distance well with feints and angled steps.
5. In championship fights, he tends to finish strong, making late rounds a key edge.
