Tim Bradley didn’t like what he saw of former WBC super featherweight champion Miguel Berchelt (38-3, 34 KOs) in watching him get stopped by Jeremiah Nakathilia (23-2, 19 KOs) in the sixth round last Saturday night in the main event at the Resorts World Las Vegas.
Jeremiah Nakathila journeyed nearly 10,000 miles from Namibia to Las Vegas, and he didn’t travel all that way to play second fiddle.
Top Rank promoter Bob Arum predicts Saturday night’s headliner fight between Miguel Berchelt and Jeremia Nakathila will be a “bombs away” type of fight that will end in a knockout at the Resorts World Las Vegas, Las Vegas.
Former WBC super featherweight champion Miguel, ‘El Alacran’ Berchelt, will be moving up in weight tothe135-lb division to face the hard-hitting Jeremia Nakathila in the main event on ESPN on March 26th.
Top Rank promoter Bob Arum says he wants to match Shakur Stevenson against Miguel ‘Alacran’ Berchelt and Oscar Valdez against Emanuel’ Vaquero’ Navarrete in the first quarter of 2022.
The Mexican showdown between Miguel Berchelt and Oscar Valdez was supposed to be an all-out war this past weekend. Well, at least on paper it was.
Sometimes, a fighter can score a knockout that both thrills and sickens at the same time, both in equal measure. This was the case on Saturday night in Las Vegas when Oscar Valdez put out countryman Miguel Berchelt’s lights in one wicked flash.
Gervonta ‘Tank Davis and Mayweather Promotions CEO Leonard Ellerbe didn’t seem impressed with Oscar Valdez’s win over WBC super featherweight champion Miguel Berchelt last Saturday night on ESPN.
Bob Arum says it’s possible we could see Oscar Valdez vs. Shakur Stevenson next now, depending on if both fighters want the match.
Whenever there are two Mexican fighters in the ring together, be they young up and comers, journeymen, past their best former champions, or at their peak current world champions, we all know we will see a real fight; a special fight.
