    I really don't see anyway Valdez can win this. Looking for someone on here to make an argument for an upset.

    Valdez is one rough customer and if he can constantly pressure Roy and, uh use his jab,,uh,,,oh forget it he can't win.

    Valdez is in over his head against Roy.

    Valdez is potentially always only a punch or two away from ending it and was a great sneaky puncher to boot, so Roy probably accords him respect and wariness and exploits his slow feet to potshot his way to a clear safety first decision with Valdez never able to really set himself.
