Del Valle Εμπνευσμένο από τους συμπατριώτες Oquendo και Martinez

Del Valle wins.jpg
Bayamon, Πουέρτο Ρίκο (Σεπτέμβριος 15, 2015) - Το ΠΡΟΗΓΟΥΜΕΝΟ Σαββατο, featherweight υποψήφιος Luis "Orlandito" Del Valle είδε τους συναδέλφους Πορτορικανοί Jonathan Oquendo και Ramon "Rocky" Martinez σε συναρπαστικές μάχες, ως μέρος του undercard Floyd Mayweather-Andre Berto.
Έχοντας χάσει τρεις περιόδους πριν από μαχητές επίπεδο πρωταθλήματος, Oquendo ήταν έξω για να αποδείξει ότι η τέταρτη φορά του θα ήταν ένα φυλακτό ενάντια δύο διαίρεση titlist Jhonny Gonzalez του Μεξικού. Ένα σημαντικό αουτσάιντερ, Oquendo ξεπέρασε ένα πρώτο γύρο νοκ ντάουν για να ρίξει Γκονζάλες την επόμενη κιόλας γύρο καθ 'οδόν προς μια νίκη απόφαση διασκεδαστικό πλειοψηφία. Η νίκη ήταν η μεγαλύτερη της καριέρας του και τον βάζει στη θέση του για έναν πυροβολισμό παγκόσμιου τίτλου.
Αργότερα εκείνο το βράδυ, Martinez υπερασπίστηκε WBO έξοχο Featherweight πρωτάθλημα του ενάντια Ορλάντο Salido. Γνωστή μεταξύ οπαδών Πουέρτο Ρίκο για να χτυπήσει έξω δύο φορές ιδιαίτερα κράχτη Juan Manuel Lopez, Salido κερδίσει τίτλους σε 126 και 130 λίρες και κοίταξε να εκδικηθεί μια προηγούμενη απώλεια εναντίον Martinez. Στον τρίτο γύρο, Salido σκόραρε ένα αμφιλεγόμενο νοκ ντάουν, αλλά ο ίδιος κατέληξε πάνω στον καμβά αργότερα σε αυτή την στροφή ευγένεια του δεξιού χεριού Martinez. Από εκεί, Martinez και έδειξε γιατί Salido Πουέρτο Ρίκο vs Μεξικό θεωρείται ως το καλύτερο αντιπαλότητα πυγμαχίας, να πάμε σε πόλεμο μέχρι το τελικό κουδούνι. Ο αγώνας είχε αποκλειστεί μια διάσπαση συντάξει και ένας τρίτος αγώνας θα λάβει χώρα πιθανόν.
Όπως συμπατριώτες του Del Valle, 19-2, είχε σκαμπανεβάσματα στην καριέρα του. Σε 2011, σκόραρε ένα σταδιοδρομία κερδίσει καλύτερο από μεγάλη υπόληψη Dat Nguyen να συλλάβει το NABA featherweight κορώνα στη Νέα Υόρκη λιγότερο από 24 ώρες πριν από το Πουέρτο Ρίκο Παρέλαση. Δυστυχώς, δύο ήττες του ήρθε σε μεγάλες σκηνές εναντίον του πρώην δύο διαίρεση παγκόσμιος πρωταθλητής Vic Darchinyan και πιο αμφιλεγόμενα για το αήττητο υποψήφιος Λουίς Ρόζα. Μετά το Μάρτιο 2014 πλήγμα κατά της Ρόζα, Del Valle πήρε χρόνο μακριά από το δαχτυλίδι και χορηγήθηκε μια απελευθέρωση από διαφημιστικά και διαχειριστικές συμβάσεις του. Κατανοώντας ότι ήταν σε ένα σημείο πιο σκληρή από ό, τι μερικά χρόνια πριν, αξιολόγησε προσεκτικά τις επιλογές του.
Τον περασμένο Μάρτιο, Del Valle επανήλθε σκοράροντας ένα 8ουστρογγυλή διακοπή πάνω από φύλακα Roberto Καστανέντα και υπογραφή με τον Jay-Z Roc Nation Αθλητισμός. Μετά τη νίκη, διασκέδασε μερικές προσφορές αγώνα και αναμένεται να αγωνιστεί μερικές φορές σε 2015. Η απόδοση από τους συμπατριώτες του βράδυ του περασμένου Σαββάτου όμως τον έβαλε σε μια εντελώς διαφορετική νοοτροπία όταν πήγε στο γυμναστήριο το επόμενο πρωί.
"Ήμουν πολύ εντυπωσιασμένος από Rocky και Oquendo,"Είπε ο Del Valle. "Τόσο υπέστη πολλαπλές ήττες, αλλά τις ξεπεράσαμε με τη διενέργεια μια τεράστια σκηνή την περασμένη εβδομάδα. Μετά βλέποντας τους αγώνες, Κάθισα πίσω και συνειδητοποίησε ότι θα μπορούσε να μου εάν τους δοθεί η ευκαιρία παρόμοια. Είναι πραγματικά με ενέπνευσε να προπονούμαι πιο σκληρά γιατί θέλω να κάνω υπερήφανος Πουέρτο Ρίκο!"
Χωρίς επίσημη ημερομηνία που ορίζεται για τον επόμενο αγώνα του, Del Valle ελπίζει λαμβάνει μια θέση για Miguel Cotto-Σαούλ "Canelo" Alvarez undercard και υπόσχεται να ενθουσιάσει εάν τους δινόταν η ευκαιρία.
"Ρεάλ εγκιβωτίζοντας ανεμιστήρες είναι πιο ενθουσιασμένοι για Cotto-Canelo από κάθε άλλο αγώνα φέτος συμπεριλαμβανομένων Mayweather-Pacquiao. Αυτό πρόκειται να είναι ένα άλλο μεγάλο κεφάλαιο στην αντιπαλότητα Πουέρτο Ρίκο-Μεξικού. Θα ήθελα να είναι ένα όνειρο που έγινε πραγματικότητα να αγωνιστεί σε αυτή την κάρτα από την κορυφή του Μεξικού μπόξερ. Είμαι πρόθυμος να δείξει στον κόσμο ότι Orlandito είναι πίσω και κίνητρα!"
