Jose ‘Rayo’ Valenzuela (14: 2, 9 Kos), the master of the WBA Light Welterweight, says that on Saturday evening he has to confuse his game a little in his fight against Gary Antuannel Russell (17: 1, 17 Kos).
New York. This is not a struggle in which Rayo can be dependent on winning by being as defensive last year as in his collision against Isaac ‘Pitbull’ Cruz. Russell is too good for Valenzuela to use a strategy.
The 25 -year -old Rayo says he would like to fight Shakur Stevenson if he is victorious. He believes that that would be a good test for him because it is difficult to meet. He realizes that Shakur had problems getting opponents, but he is ready to fight him. However, Stevenson would have to rise to 140, and he could not be ready. Shakurs Promoter, Eddie Hearn, would probably reject the idea that he is fighting against Rayo because it is too risky.
“I will have to mix it. I will have to fight and fight personally. I have to sit down a bit, touch his body and make a little bit of everything, ”said Jose ‘Rayo’ Valenzuela to Sean Zittel YouTube Canal about his fight against Gary Antuanne Russell on Saturday evening.
Russell can beat. He may be able to switch off Rayo if he can catch him with some of his great shots. Edwin de Los Santos stopped him in the third round in her fight on September 4, 2022.
“He does one thing, but he’s really good in what he is doing. He just doesn’t come out of this box. He is still dangerous because he is really good in what he is doing, but I have the feeling that I have more tools in my toolkit. He fights everything beautiful and short. He is a good fighter.
“I want to fight Shakur Stevenson. I know that nobody wants to fight against him at 135. He is a fighter that I’ve always wanted to fight, ”said Rayo. “Because it is difficult to meet. He is a great fighter and I am a great fighter. So I would like to get in with him. “
