Vic had a ton of experience and was the better man that night. I learned a lot as a man, fighter and about preparation at the top level. Now I feel that I’m in the role Vic was against me when I face De La Hoya.”

What that means is this has all the makings of a fast paced brawl where nobody wants to take a step backwards. In order to come out of the battle as the victor, you’ve got to be ready for war. After what I’ve been through physically, mentally and emotionally in my training, I’m more than ready. All of the hard work will pay off when I break Diego De La Hoya down September 17!"

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

Biljetter från $35 are on sale by calling 860-982-2532 eller 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 rekord med 15 segrar genom knockout. I november 2015, the Bayamon native stopped 50-plus fight veteran Jose Juan Beltran after two rounds in Comerio, Puerto Rico. 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, CT, 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 med 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.”

Efter att ha förlorat tre tidigare matcher mot mästerskap nivå fighters, Oquendo var ute för att bevisa att hans fjärde gången skulle vara en charm mot två division titlist Jhonny Gonzalez i Mexico. En betydande underläge, Oquendo vann en första omgång knockdown att släppa Gonzalez redan nästa runda på väg till ett beslut om seger underhållande majoritet. Segern var den största i hans karriär och sätter honom på plats för en värld titel skott.
Senare på kvällen, Martinez försvarade sin WBO Super Featherweight mästerskapet mot Orlando Salido. Känd bland puertoricanska fläktar för två gånger slår ut mycket omskrutna Juan Manuel Lopez, Salido vann titlar på 126 och 130 pounds och såg att hämnas en tidigare förlust mot Martinez.

Från där, Martinez och Salido visade varför Puerto Rico vs Mexiko betraktas som boxning bästa rivalitet, gå i krig tills den slutliga bell. Kampen styrdes en delad rita och en tredje matchen kommer sannolikt att ske.
Liksom hans landsmän Del Valle, 19-2, har haft upp-och nedgångar i hans karriär. I 2011, han gjorde en karriär bäst vinna mot ansedda Dat Nguyen att fånga NABA fjäder kronan i New York mindre än 24 timmar innan Puerto Rican Day Parade. Olyckligtvis, hans två förluster kom på stora scener mot tidigare mästare två division världen Vic Darchinyan och mer kontroversiellt att obesegrad utmanare Luis Rosa. Efter mars 2014 bakslag mot Rosa, Del Valle tog tid borta från ringen och fick en release från sina marknadsförings ledande kontrakt. Förstå att han var i en tuffare plats än ett par år före, han utvärderas noga sina optioner.
Det gångna mars, Del Valle återuppstått genom att göra poäng en 8thrunda stopp över portvakt Roberto Castaneda och signering med Jay-Z: s Roc Nation Sports. Efter vinsten, Han underhöll några kamp erbjudanden och räknar med att bekämpa några gånger i 2015. Prestandan av hans landsmän lördag kväll satte honom men i en helt annan inställning när han gick till gymmet nästa morgon.
"Jag var mycket imponerad av Rocky och Oquendo,"Said Del Valle. "Båda fick flera nederlag, men övervann dem genom att utföra på en stor scen förra veckan. Efter att ha sett slagsmål, Jag satt tillbaka och insåg att skulle vara mig om det ges en liknande möjlighet. Det inspirerade verkligen mig att träna hårdare för att jag vill göra Puerto Rico stolt!"
Utan ett officiellt datum fastställts för hans nästa match, Del Valle hoppas han får en plats på Miguel Cotto-Saul "Canelo" Alvarez undercard och lovar att excitera om det ges möjlighet.
"Riktiga boxning fans är mer glada för Cotto-Canelo än någon annan kamp i år inklusive Mayweather-Pacquiao. Det kommer att bli en annan stor kapitel i Puerto Rico och Mexiko rivalitet.
