At least Oscar Valdez fighting in the card will make up for all the excessive holding by Devin Haney

Not sure if he’d be ready to get back in the ring by May but I’d like to see Liam Wilson get another opportunity.

It would be a good build up fight for Valdez / Navarette.
He'd make it a fun fight but I think Valdez sharpness and power does Wilspn in sooner than Navarette did.

Since Oscar Valdez is ranked third place in the WBC rankings, I think he should fight a fellow patriot called Eduardo "Rocky" Hernandez who's ranked second. He has been in a tear ever since he lost to a World Champion in Roger Gutierez at 22 years old.

Exactly what I was thinking. If the timeframe works I think it’s the obvious choice.

Wilson deserves it IMO.
Exposed Navarette to a certain extent.

Very nice card. Robert Arum doing right

Yeah 100%, Navarrette got some home cooking from the referee that night.

Sounds like it will be a rematch with Adam Lopez, which I was actually gonna suggest as a possibility. Think it makes sense, Valdez will be a heavy favorite so it's not a crazy risk with Vaquero waiting, but Lopez will also always bring the heat and their first fight was fun, competitive and slightly controversial. So it makes sense to give Lopez another shot with more time to prepare and you get another guaranteed action fight that Valdez SHOULD win to set up the mega fight with Navarrete
