By Mark Eisner: Oscar Valdez will be battling Jayson Velez tonight in the main event on ESPN at The Bubble in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The Velez bout could be the last roadblock for Valdez, 29 before he takes on WBO super featherweight champion Miguel Berchelt later this year.

Fighting for the first time in 14 months, former WBO super bantamweight champion Isaac Dogboe (21-2, 15 KO) dominated and stopped journeyman Chris Avalos (27-8, 20 KOs) by an eighth-round knockout in a scheduled eight-round bout in featherweight action on the Valdez vs. Velez undercard.

Referee Russell Mora jumped in a little prematurely in stopping the fight with Dogboe, 25, pounding on the hapless 30-year-old Avalos in the eighth.

If Dogboe doesn’t move back down to 122, he’s going to be overmatched against the likes of Gary Russell Jr, Josh Warrington, Can Xu, and Navarrete.
