Leading <a href="https://www.insider.com/category/boxing" target="_blank" rel="noopener">boxing</a> executive Lou DiBella said the damage done has the potential to destroy his career.Berchelt was no pushover in the weekend's super featherweight title fight, as the long-reigning WBC champ was touted as the favorite ahead of the bout.Valdez dominated the match, scoring three knockdowns that included an ice-cold, buzzer-beating finish in the 10th.The 30-year-old Mexican fighter controlled the distance, tempo, and the match with his jab - landing 46 of 206 thrown for a 22.3% accuracy rate, according to Compubox data sent to Insider.In the opening rounds, the power difference began to take hold as Bechelt had already started bleeding.In the fourth, Valdez's patented left hook - which he had been landing effectively earlier in the match - visibly dazed Berchelt before more punches backed him into the ropes.As the ropes were deemed to have helped keep Berchelt on his feet, the referee Russell Mora ruled it a knockdown and Valdez was now flying high on the scorecards.A punching flurry in the ninth added another knockdown to Valdez's ledger and concerns rose that the referee, or Berchelt's corner, should wave the bout off.The fight continued and Valdez made the decision for them, sending Berchelt face-first to the floor with another left hook.Watch the finish right here:Advancing his unbeaten pro boxing record to 29 wins (23 knockouts) with the victory. Valdez had already won the WBO featherweight championship in 2016 and retained the title in six fights.He said: "There's nothing better in life than proving people wrong."I have a list of people who doubted me. My idols doubted me. Boxing analysts doubted me. They said Berchelt was going to knock me out. I have a message to everybody: Don't' let anyone tell you what you can and can't do. "I want to take this belt home, and I'm happy for that. Any champion out there … I heard Shakur Stevenson wants to fight. Let's do it. I just want to keep on fighting and give the fans what they want."Valdez landed 103 of his 328 power shots with all but one directed to Berchelt's head."Berchelt's corner will regret letting it get to that KO in the future," the boxing executive <a href="https://twitter.com/loudibella/status/1363350827876950016">Lou DiBella said on Twitter</a>."He took more devastating headshots than I've seen in years. Berchelt is a consummate warrior, but that kind of courage can destroy careers and lives. We need to protect these gladiators from themselves."As for Valdez, his promoter Bob Arum - one of boxing's most powerful figures as the founder and CEO of the Las Vegas-based fight firm Top Rank - said, perhaps worrying for his opponents, that: "The best is yet to come."

They loved another champion in Valdez, hated Stevenson, and wanted to voice their disdain for the 24-year-old.This may not seem like one of the essential ingredients that create a <a href="https://www.insider.com/category/boxing" target="_blank" rel="noopener">boxing</a> superstar but, really, it still is.It's hard to make people love you, and harder still to make people loathe you. The worst thing a fighter can do is fail to make people care either way.And for all the people present in Vegas for Top Rank's 130-pound super-fight, they truly care for both Valdez, and for — or against — Stevenson, who throwdown in one of the city's biggest showdowns of the year so far.<h2>American boxer Stevenson is hellbent on being the best of his era</h2><div type="image" title="Shakur Stevenson poses with his world title in front of Saturday's venue MGM Grand." height="1383" width="2000" msid="91220492" hostid="261"></div>Though he says he's "not there yet," Stevenson is determined to become "the best boxer of my generation."Stevenson is unbeaten in 17 pro <keyword id="11922196" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="boxing" source="Orion">boxing</keyword> matches so far, returning nine of those wins by knockout and a further eight by decision.He's breezed past Jeremiah Natathila and finished Jamel Herring in the 10th round late, last year. He rarely seems to break sweat, has proven difficult to hit, and barely loses a round. The youngster is a legitimate problem."I feel like I'm hot right now, on a roll, and I'm sharp," said Stevenson."This fight definitely will put me in the pound-for-pound list. I feel like I'm the best fighter in boxing, personally, if we're talking skill-wise, brain, all that stuff. I got to go in there and show them that."In Valdez, Stevenson fights another undefeated boxer who has demonstrated a penchant for powerful punching as he's knocked out Miguel Berchelt, while perturbing Robson Conceicao and Scott Quigg, too."He's a great fighter, 30-0," Stevenson said. "I think that he don't get as much credit as he deserves."Stevenson's aware of how great a challenge Valdez is. But all that means, in his head, is that he should get great credit should he defeat him. "It is the fight that's going to take me to another level," he said."Right now, this is the Shakur Stevenson era."<h2>Top Rank says it knew all along that Stevenson would be a fighting superstar</h2><div type="image" title="Shakur Stevenson is one of the most gifted boxers." height="1353" width="2000" msid="91220493" hostid="261"></div>Both Valdez and Stevenson have fought their entire careers under the Top Rank banner, guided by the elite matchmakers at the company, and overseen by veteran executive Bob Arum, 90.Arum told reporters this week that those at his company were always aware Valdez would "be a premium fighter."Regarding Stevenson, he said: "We knew he would be a superstar in this sport."Stevenson told Insider and other reporters: "This is a big fight and I'm taking a big risk fighting someone who is 30-0 and is a champion. Depending on how I perform … I definitely can become a pay-per-view superstar."It is undoubtedly the grandest of stages in Stevenson's career.But throughout this week he has seemed unfazed by the magnitude of the occasion.In the build-up to his main event bout against Valdez, Stevenson will be watching tape footage of a historic fight — Pernell Whitaker, one of his idols, against Julio Cesar Chavez Sr. — one of Valdez's heroes.Stevenson wants to emulate defensive wizards like Whitaker, and do to Valdez what Whitaker did to Chavez — the boxer who out-boxed the heavy-hitter.Whitaker was ultimately robbed of the win as a draw was instead announced.Stevenson wants to one-up that result and get the victory. Experts Insider spoke to this week expect that victory to come via late stoppage. The might inside Valdez's fists may count for little should the experienced fighter struggle to ruin Stevenson's youthful looks.Despite this, Stevenson believes "a lot of people" still "don't understand how good I am.""I know I'm not even in my prime yet so I can get even better," he said. "I'm going to be a superstar Saturday night."The PPV section of the Valdez vs. Stevenson event airs on ESPN from 7 p.m. PT.

The Mexican Andres Gutierrez was set to face off against his countryman Oscar Valdez on November 30 in Las Vegas to decide who would earn a shot at WBC super-featherweight world title holder Miguel Berchelt.However, just a day prior to the bout, Gutierrez stepped on the scales an at an astonishing 11 pounds over the 130 pound limit, making him eligible to compete at welterweight.Bob Arum, the fight's promoter, was enraged with the 26-year-old, calling him a "disgrace.""We're throwing him out of the hotel," said Arum after the weigh-in, <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/boxing/50609728">according to the BBC.</a> "I have seen guys two or three pounds over weight, that is still unprofessional."But to come in at 11 pounds overweight is a disgrace - I have never seen anything like it."WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman also condemned Gutierrez, saying on Twitter that the missed weigh-in was a clear indication that he had been trying to dehydrate himself to cut weight in the build-up to the fight. "This is absolutely a clear indication of dangerous tactic by Gutierrez to cut weight," he said. "Weight management program is a top priority for WBC and this case will be fully investigated to its fullest consequences."Sulaiman also confirmed in a separate tweet that Gutierrez had been <a href="https://twitter.com/wbcmoro/status/1200525262070284288">officially suspended by the WBC.</a>Gutierrez was replaced last minute by American Adam Lopez, who was subsequently beaten by Valdez via a seventh round TKO.Read more:<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/butaev-zhang-and-braekhus-to-fight-in-monte-carlo-2019-11">A 'f------ beast' with a Golovkin-like trajectory, a 6-foot-6 heavyweight from China, and a dominant female champion will fight in front of the prince of Monaco on Saturday</a><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/cconor-mcgregor-will-return-to-ufc-against-donald-cerrone-2019-11">Conor McGregor will return to UFC against 'Cowboy' Cerrone, and experts say the Irishman will challenge Jorge Masvidal for the 'BMF' title if he wins</a><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/wilder-says-mayweather-team-backing-him-to-beat-record-2019-11">Deontay Wilder is now 9 wins away from breaking Floyd Mayweather's 50-0 record, and he says the former world champion's team is backing him</a><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/video-jon-king-breaks-glory-record-with-lightning-quick-ko-2019-11">An American kickboxer knocked his Glory 72 opponent out so quickly the broadcaster didn't have time to display the ring clock on the screen</a>

But Cuellar entered that 2018 bout off a loss. Davis added another, albeit with far superior style than the man who had previously beaten him, Abner Mares.Before a punch had even been thrown in the Nunez fight, <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/brianmazique/2019/07/26/gervonta-davis-vs-ricardo-nunez-date-time-tv-and-live-stream-info/#4f52c8ef48ca" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Forbes</a> described it as a mismatch. By that, the publication means Nunez was never expected to be competitive, let alone win. Forbes was right.

But there are superior challenges out there to be had - against Tevin Farmer, Miguel Berchelt, maybe even Mikey Garcia or Vasily Lomachenko in the weight class above, at lightweight.Even esteemed boxing analyst Al Bernstein, who works for Showtime, Davis' broadcaster, believes it's high time the undefeated Baltimore boxer steps up a level. "Ricardo Nunez, mandatory defense for Davis, was game and came to fight but Davis [was] too powerful for him," <a href="https://twitter.com/AlBernstein/status/1155315506603266048" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bernstein said on Twitter</a>.Playing matchmaker, Bernstein wants to see Davis put his title on the line against Philadelphian southpaw Farmer, a world title unification bout that would also put Farmer's IBF strap up for grabs."Let's see Davis in against another champ next - maybe Farmer," he said. "Either way, next for Davis should be a true challenge."Bernstein added: "He needs to upgrade his opposition. I believe that will come in [his] next fight."<div></div><div></div> <div class="margin-top"> <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/us-womens-soccer-fifa-world-cup-best-american-team-2019-6">The US women's team won the World Cup.
