Del Valle wins.jpg
Bayamon, Puertoriko (Septembris 15, 2015) - Pagājušajā sestdienā, viegls sāncensis Luis "Orlandito" Del Valle redzēju puisis Puerto Ricans Jonathan Oquendo un Ramon "Rocky" Martinez aizraujošajās cīņās kā daļu no Floyd Mayweather-Andre Berto undercard.
Ņemot zaudēja trīs iepriekšējās lēkmes pret čempionāts līmeņa cīnītājiem, Oquendo bija, lai pierādītu, ka viņa ceturtā reize būtu šarmu pret divu nodaļa titlist Jhonny Gonzalez Meksikas. Ievērojams underdog, Oquendo pārvarēja pirmo apaļo knockdown nomest González jau nākamajā kārtā ceļā uz izklaidējošu vairākuma lēmumu uzvaru. Win bija lielākais viņa karjerā un liek viņam stāvoklī pasaules titulu shot.
Vēlāk, ka vakarā, Martinez aizstāvēja savu WBO Super viegls čempionātā pret Orlando Salido. Zināms starp puertorikāņu faniem divreiz klauvē out ļoti touted Juan Manuel Lopez, Salido ieguva titulus at 126 un 130 mārciņas un izskatījās, lai atriebtu iepriekšēju zaudējumu pret Martinez. Trešajā kārtā, Salido ieguva pretrunīgi knockdown bet pats beidzās uz audekla vēlāk šajā strofa pieklājīgi no Martinez labās rokas. No turienes, Martinez un Salido parādīja kāpēc Puertoriko vs Meksikā tiek uzskatīts par boksa labāko sāncensību, dodas uz kara līdz galīgā bell. Cīņa valdīja split izdarīt un trešais mačs, visticamāk notiks.
Tāpat kā viņa tautiešiem Del Valle, 19-2, ir bijusi kāpumus un kritumus savā karjerā. Uz 2011, viņš guva karjeras labākais uzvarēt pret augsti vērtēto Dat Nguyen, lai attēlotu NABA viegls vainagu Ņujorkā mazāk nekā 24 stundas pirms puertorikāņu dienas parādē. Diemžēl, Viņa divi zaudējumi nāca uz lieliem posmiem pret bijušo divu nodaļa pasaules čempions Vic Darchinyan un vairāk controversially uz neuzvarēts sāncensis Luis Rosa. Pēc martā 2014 neveiksme pret Rosa, Del Valle bija laiks prom no gredzenu un tika piešķirta atbrīvošanu no saviem reklāmas un vadības līgumiem. Saprotot, ka viņš bija stingrāku vietas nekā dažus gadus pirms, viņš rūpīgi jāizvērtē savas iespējas.
Šī pagātnes marts, Del Valle resurfaced ar punktu skaitu 8thapaļas apturēšana pār kontrolējošo Roberto Kastaņeda un parakstīšana ar Jay-Z Roc Nation Sports. Pēc uzvaras, viņš izklaidē pāris cīnīties piedāvājumus un gaida, lai cīnītos vēl dažus reizes 2015. Izrāde viņa tautiešiem pēdējās sestdienas vakarā tomēr nodot viņam visai atšķirīgs domāšanas, kad viņš devās uz sporta zāli nākamajā rītā.
"Es biju ļoti pārsteigts par Rocky un Oquendo,"Said Del Valle. "Abi cieta vairākas sakāves, bet pārvarēja tos veicot par milzīgu skatuves pagājušajā nedēļā. Pēc skatoties cīņas, Es sēdēju atpakaļ un sapratu, ka varētu būt ar mani, ja dota iespēja līdzīgu. Tas patiesi iedvesmoja mani apmācīt grūtāk, jo es gribu, lai Puertoriko lepni!"
Bez oficiālā noteiktā datuma viņa nākamo spēli, Del Valle cer viņš saņem vietas uz Miguel Cotto-Saul "Canelo" Alvarez undercard un sola satraukt, ja dota iespēja.
"Real boksa fani ir vairāk satraukti par Cotto-Canelo nekā jebkurš cits cīņu šogad tostarp Mayweather-Pacquiao. Tas būs vēl viens liels nodaļa Puerto Rico un Meksikas sāncensība. Tā gribētu būt sapņa piepildījums, lai cīnītos par šo karti pret top meksikāņu bokseris. Es esmu ieinteresēts, lai parādītu pasaulei, ka Orlandito ir atpakaļ un motivēts!"
