Байамон, Пуэрта-Рыка (Верасня 15, 2015) - У мінулую суботу, полулегком прэтэндэнтам Луіс "Orlandito" Del Valle ўбачыў супрацоўнік пуэртарыканцаў Джонатан Окендо і Рамон "Рокі" Марцінес у захапляльных баёў у рамках андэркарце Флойд Мэйвезер-Андрэ Берта.
Страціўшы тры папярэднія прыступы супраць баевікоў ўзроўню чэмпіянату, Окендо было, каб даказаць, што яго чацвёрты раз будзе зачараванне супраць двух вагавых вазе Джоні Гансалес Мексікі. Значная слабым, Окендо пераадолеў першы раўнд накдаўн, каб зваліцца Гансалес вельмі наступны раўнд на шляху да перамогі ў прыняцці забаўляльны большасцю. Перамога была самая вялікая ў яго кар'еры і ставіць яго ў становішча для стрэлу тытул чэмпіёна свету.
Увечары таго ж дня, Марцінес абараніў свой чэмпіёнскі WBO ў полулегком супер супраць Арланда Салидо. Вядомы сярод аматараў Пуэрта-Рыка ў два разы накаўтаваўшы высока ацэньваецца Хуан Мануэль Лопес, Салидо выйграў тытулы на 126 і 130 фунтаў і паглядзеў, каб адпомсціць папярэдняга страты супраць Марцінес. У трэцім раўндзе, Салидо забіў спрэчны накдаўн, але сам апынуўся на палатне ў канцы гэтай страфы ласкава правай рукой Марцінес. Адтуль, Марцінес і Салидо паказаў, чаму Пуэрта-Рыка супраць Мексікі лічыцца лепшым суперніцтва бокса, не збіраецца на вайну, да фінальнага гонга. Барацьба была выключана раскол маляваць і трэці матч, хутчэй за ўсё, адбудзецца.
Як і яго суайчыннікі-дэль-Валье, 19-2, была ўзлёты і падзенні ў сваёй кар'еры. У 2011, ён забіў кар'еры лепш перамагчы высока цэніцца Дат Нгуен, каб захапіць NABA полулегком карону ў Нью-Ёрку менш чым 24 гадзін да Пуэрта-Рыка парадзе. На жаль, два яго паразы выйшаў на вялікіх сцэнах супраць экс-чэмпіён свету Вік Дарчинян і больш спрэчна, каб непераможны сапернік Луіс Ружа. Пасьля сакавіка 2014 ўдар супраць Rosa, Дэль Валле ўзяў час ад кольцы і атрымаў вызваленне ад яго рэкламных і кіраўнічых кантрактаў. Разуменне таго, што ён быў у жорсткай месцы, чым некалькі гадоў да, ён старанна ацэнены свае варыянты.
У сакавіку гэтага года, Дэль Валле ўсплылі, забіўшы 8йраўндзе над брамніка Раберта Кастанеда і падпісанне з Jay-Z Roc Nation спорту. Пасля перамогі, ён забаўляў некалькі прапаноў бой і чакае, каб змагацца яшчэ некалькі разоў у 2015. Спектакль сваіх суайчыннікаў у мінулую суботу ўначы, аднак паставіць яго ў зусім іншы менталітэт, калі ён пайшоў у спартзалу раніцай.
"Я вельмі ўражаны Рокі і Окендо,"Саід Del Valle. "Абодва пацярпелі некалькі паражэнняў, але пераадолеў іх, выконваючы на ​​велізарнай сцэне на мінулым тыдні. Пасля прагляду баёў, Я сеў і зразумеў, што можа быць мне, калі дадзена падобную магчымасць. Гэта сапраўды натхніла мяне трэніравацца, таму што я хачу, каб Пуэрта-Рыка ганарыцца!"
Без афіцыйнага набору даты для свайго наступнага матчу, Дэль Валле спадзяецца, што ён атрымлівае месца ў Мігель Кот-Сол "Канело" Альварэс андэркарце і абяцае распачаць, калі б выдалася магчымасць.
"Сапраўдныя прыхільнікі бокса больш рады за Кот-Канело, чым любы іншы бой у гэтым годзе, уключаючы Мэйвезер-Пакьяо. Гэта будзе яшчэ адзін вялікі чале ў суперніцтве Пуэрта-Рыка і Мексікі. Гэта было б мара, каб змагацца на гэтай карце супраць топ-мексіканскай баксёр. Я імкнуся, каб паказаць свету, што Orlandito вярнуўся і матываваны!"
