Oscar Valdez: “I don’t always consider myself as a pressure fighter. I do a lot of things insides the gym. Try to switch it up a lot. I can box to, whatever my opponent brings to the table I can switch it up to. I always have plan A, plan B. I’m not always going to go in there and brawl. If it gets to tough brawling I can also box”

Boxinginsider.com: “Being that you where an Olympian and now your a professional is there a lot of pressure to become a world champion with all the loyal fan base you have been gaining is all that pressure to be a world champion?”

Oscar Valdez: “There’s no pressure at all I would say confidence. I have no pressure you can say it’s easy for me to go inside the gym. It’s easy for me to wake up early and go run. Sometimes if I get bored I go do an extra workout. I dedicate myself 100% so I know if I work hard in the gym everything should go well as a fighter”

Boxinginsider.com: “Being of Mexican heritage there’s a lot of great fighters is there a lot of pressure to be the next gran campeon Mexicano or are you just going to do what you have to do and focus on your career?”

I got my manager Frank Espinoza my father they’re a big part of what I do and my trainer Manny Robles. It’s always two takes. I can’t always take the credit because we’re a team and we show it inside the ring”

Boxinginsider.com: “Being that your dad was one of the very first believers in you as a kid and now your a professional do you feel that you owe him something like a world title?”
