It could be a closer fight than the odds suggest. Valdez (23-0, 19 KOs) has yet to lose as a pro, successfully defending his title three times since winning it in 2016. However, Quigg (34-1-2, 25 KOs) was the WBA super-bantamweight champion for four years before dropping the strap to Carl Frampton by split decision, also in 2016 – the only loss on Quigg’s otherwise impressive resume.
As far as the rankings are concerned, The Ring has Valdez rated No. 6 in the world at 126 pounds, just two spots ahead of Quigg. BoxRec prefers the underdog at No. 6, with Valdez next in seventh place; on their pound-for-pound rankings, Quigg checks in at No. 53, 11 spots clear of Valdez at No. 63.

Although Valdez (23-0, 19 KOs) is undefeated as a pro, Quigg (34-1-2, 25 KOs) was the WBA super-bantamweight champion for four years before losing to Carl Frampton via split decision in 2016. Quigg is also 2.5 inches taller than Valdez at 5-foot-8 and is easily the toughest test Valdez has ever faced inside the squared circle.
