Oscar Valdez upsets Miguel Berchelt for WBC super-featherweight championship
+270 underdog Valdez Upsets, knock outs -340 betting favorite Berchelt
2021 is shaping to be an unpredictable year in fighting sports and the online betting sphere. Incredible performances leading up to knockouts are pouring in. Just last week, unheralded Mexican fighter Mauricio Lara shocked the UK boxing scene.
Mauricio Lara knocked out Josh Warrington stiff in the 9th round of their non-title fight. The finish was a mere formality as the +850 betting underdog floored Warrington in the 4th, he wasn’t the same fighter since. Consequently, he was violently finished.
If that wasn’t a big enough of an upset, a similar turn of events played out. Valdez left hook and overall complete boxing showing provided Bettors backing him up with reasons to rejoice. Albeit a smaller betting favorite on the odds, few gave the undefeated fighter a chance to beat Berchelt. The Mexican held the WBC Super Featherweight belt riding a 6 fight finish streak and a 10 fight winning streak overall.
Valdez was sharp and focused, dominating the champion with elegant ease. The end came at the courtesy of a monstrous left hook which left Berchelt down and out for a few minutes.

Valdez underdog +340 odds a hidden gem
In hindsight, winning $/ £340 on a $/ £100 bet on Valdez looks like a sweet deal offered by online sportsbooks. After all Oscar Valdez is still undefeated and already held a major boxing world championship.
Albeit a smaller betting favorite on the odds than Lara, this is still a major boxing betting upset. A few gave the undefeated fighter a chance to beat Berchelt. The Mexican held the WBC Super Featherweight belt riding a 6 fight finish streak and a 10 fight winning streak overall.
However, once the fight started, it was evident early and often Valdez underdog status was a stretch. Amazingly, this betting upset came with a beautiful finish, one that gains Valdez the WBC championship belt.
