    Many expected Saturday's WBC junior lightweight title fight between Miguel Berchelt and Oscar Valdez to be a back-and-forth bout between two Mexican fighters. As it turned out, the violence was mostly one-way traffic.

    Valdez (29-0, 23 KOs), a former WBO featherweight titleholder and a two-time Olympian, scored a significant upset against Berchelt (38-2, 34 KOs) at the MGM Grand, rocking him with a left hook in the final second of the 10th round in an immediate favorite for knockout of the year.
