Now two weeks removed from his disastrous knockout loss to Oscar Valdez, his first defeat in more than six years, former WBC super featherweight champion Miguel Berchelt” sat down with ESPN KnockOut to offer a retrospective on the loss and reveal his plans for the future.
Though he doesn’t wish to denigrate Valdez’s work, “El Alacran” (37-2, 33 KO) cites the difficult cut to 130 as a factor in his defeat, claiming he “didn’t feel quick like on other nights” and was never physically in the fight. He sees a move to 135 in the near future, though he’ll sit down with his team and do a full analysis of his performance before committing to a specific course of action.

The boxing ball is well and truly rolling in 2021 now, with stacked cards everywhere you turn following a fairly desolate start to the year.
With COVID-19 postponements, a stripped title and scorecard controversies all adding an exclamation mark on last weekend’s action, we turn to this Saturday in London, Connecticut, and Las Vegas, hoping for more talking points coming from inside the ring.

As I mentioned in this weekend’s Staff Predictions, as much as I love the fight between Berchelt and Valdez there is just this lingering doubt that it might not be as competitive as one would assume and hope.
