WBA Light Welterweight Jose ‘Rayo’ Valenzuel (14-2, 9 Kos) says he thinks he’ll have to mix his game a little by on Saturday night at Braklyn, Braolyn in Brooklyn.
New York. This is not a fight in which Rayo can depend on victory by being defensive as he was in conflict against Isaac ‘Pitbulla’ Cruz last year. Russell is too good to use one strategy.
Rayo, 25, says he would like to fight Shakur Stevenson if he wins. He feels it would be a good test for him because it’s hard to hit him. He notes that Shakur has problems with opponents, but he is ready to fight him. However, Stevenson should move up to 140, and he may not be willing. Shakur’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, would probably reject the idea of fighting Ray because it’s too risky.

Russell can hit. He may be able to knock out Ray if he can catch him with some of his big shots. Edwin de Los Santos stopped him in the third round in their fight on September 4, 2022.
“He does one thing, but he’s really good at what he does. He just doesn’t leave that box. It’s still dangerous because he’s really good at what he does, but I feel I have more tools in my tool. He fights against everything beautiful and short. He is a good fighter.
“I would love to fight Shakur Stevenson. I know no one wants to fight him in 135. He is a fighter I always wanted to fight with,” Rayo said. “Because it’s hard to guess. It’s a great fighter and I’m a great fighter. So, I would love to get there with him.”
