Bayamón, PR (Abril 1, 2016) – Super bantamweight contender Luis “Orlandito” Del Valle returns to the ring on Dissabte, Abril 9 to face New England titlist Josh Crespo in an eight round bout at Rockingham Park in Salem, NH.

Entrades des $35 are on sale by calling 860-982-2532 o 603-898-2311.

A blood and guts warrior who gives fans their monies worth every time he enters the squared circle, Del Valle has an outstanding 20-2 registre amb 15 triomfs per nocaut. Al novembre 2015, the Bayamon native stopped 50-plus fight veteran Jose Juan Beltran after two rounds in Comerio, Port Ric. Currently signed to an exclusive promotional contract with Jay-Z’s Roc Nation Sports, Del Valle has his sights set on another big fight but first must conquer the task at hand.

Born and raised in New Haven, Connecticut, Crespo is riding a wave of confidence having defeated Jorge Abiague (9-1) for the New England super bantamweight championship last November. Crespo’s professional ledger is a deceptive 6-2-3 amb 2 KO’s but he’s unbeaten in his last five, facing two undefeated fighters in the process.

If victorious, Del Valle is expected to appear in a televised bout in the immediate future. While some potentially view this fight as a given for Del Valle prior to bigger and better things, the 29-year-old knows that records don’t tell the whole story and Crespo’s hunger can’t be overlooked.

“I’ve got big plans but that all goes out the window if I don’t do what I have to against Crespo,” Del Valle said from his training camp in Puerto Rico. “Anybody who really knows boxing understands that a record doesn’t determine how good a fighter is. I’ve seen Crespo before. He’s tough and willing to take on anybody which is evident by the fact that he’s facing me rather than a lesser opponent. I’m training like I’m the underdog since this fight is close to his hometown and I’ve got a lot on the line.”

Del Valle Inspirat per compatriotes Oquendo i Martínez

Del Valle wins.jpg
Bayamón, Port Ric (Setembre 15, 2015) - Dissabte passat, pes ploma Luis "Orlandito" De la Vall va veure companys porto-riquenys Jonathan Oquendo i Ramon "Rocky" Martínez en baralles emocionants, com a part de la cartellera de Floyd Mayweather-Andre Berto.
Després d'haver perdut tres baralles anteriors contra els combatents de nivell de campionat, Oquendo va anar a provar que el seu quarta vegada seria un encant contra dues divisions campió Jhonny González, de Mèxic. Un perdedor considerable, Oquendo va superar una primera caiguda i tornada a col·locar González la següent ronda en el camí a una victòria per decisió majoritària d'entreteniment. La victòria va ser la més gran de la seva carrera i el posa en posició per a un títol mundial.
Més tard aquesta nit, Martínez va defensar el seu campionat de la OMB pes ploma contra Orlando Súper sortit. Conegut entre els aficionats de Puerto Rico pel doble de l'anul·lació de molt promocionat Juan Manuel López, Sortit guanyar títols en 126 i 130 lliura i van mirar per venjar una derrota prèvia en contra de Martínez. A la tercera ronda, Sortit anotar una caiguda controvertit, però sí va acabar en el llenç més tard en què la cortesia estrofa d'una mà dreta Martínez. Des d'allà, Martínez i Sortit van mostrar per què Puerto Rico vs Mèxic és considerat com la millor rivalitat de la boxa, anar a la guerra fins a la campana final. La baralla va ser declarada un empat dividit i un tercer partit probablement es durà a terme.
Igual que el seu compatriotes Del Valle, 19-2, ha tingut alts i baixos en la seva carrera. En 2011, anotar una carrera millor guanyar contra el molt respectat Dat Nguyen per capturar la corona de pes ploma de la NABA a la ciutat de Nova York a menys de 24 hores abans de la Rua Porto-riqueny. Desafortunadament, les seves dues derrotes van arribar en grans escenaris contra l'ex campió mundial de dues divisions Vic Darchinyan i més polèmic que el contendent invicte Luis Rosa. Després de la Marxa 2014 revés contra Rosa, Del Valle va prendre temps fora de la pista i se li va concedir un alliberament dels seus contractes de promoció i de gestió. Entenent que estava en un lloc més difícil que uns anys abans, va avaluar acuradament les seves opcions.
Aquest passat mes de març, Del Valle va ressorgir en anotar un 8ºatur ronda sobre guardià Roberto Castañeda i signa amb Jay-Z Roc Nation Esports. Després de la victòria, entretenir algunes ofertes de lluita i està esperant per lluitar contra un parell de vegades més en 2015. L'actuació dels seus compatriotes el passat dissabte a la nit però el va posar en una mentalitat completament diferent quan es va anar al gimnàs al matí següent.
"Jo estava molt impressionat per Rocky i Oquendo,"Said Del Valle. "Tots dos van patir múltiples derrotes però ells van superar mitjançant la realització d'un gran escenari la setmana passada. Després de veure les baralles, Em vaig asseure i em vaig adonar que em podria haver si se'ls dóna una oportunitat similar. Realment em va inspirar a entrenar més dur perquè vull fer Puerto Rico orgullosos!"
Sense un conjunt oficial data per al seu pròxim partit, Del Valle té l'esperança que rep un lloc en Miguel Cotto i Saül "Canelo" Álvarez cartellera i es compromet a excitar si tingués l'oportunitat.
"Veritables fans de boxa són més emocionat per Cotto-Canelo que qualsevol altra baralla aquest any incloent Mayweather-Pacquiao. Això serà un altre gran capítol de la rivalitat Puerto Rico-Mèxic. Seria un somni fet realitat per lluitar en aquesta targeta contra un boxejador superior mexicana. Estic ansiós per mostrar al món que Orlandito està de tornada i motivat!"
