5. Oscar Valdez

Oscar Valdez, a two time Mexican Olympian, has a record of 12 wins and zero losses with 11 of his victories coming by way of knockout.

He is quickly becoming a regional star in the southwest for his promoter, Top Rank, selling out local venues in Phoenix, Tijuana and Hermosillo. Fighting in the featherweight division that has become loaded with notable names, Valdez is rising his stock up with a fan friendly style.

He is consistently getting bigger and better after every fight. Already a fixture on UniMas’ Solo Boxeo broadcasts and having Top Rank and manager Frank Espinoza guiding him up the ranks the smart way, I envision Valdez making noise in his division within the next two years.
