I want to be the next face of Puerto Rico.”

Bayamon, Portoriko (Rujan 15, 2015) - Prošlu subotu, pero kandidat Luis "Orlandito" Del Valle vidio kolega Puerto Ricans Jonathan Oquendo i Ramon "Rocky" Martinez u uzbudljivim borbama u sklopu Floyd Mayweather-Andre Berto undercard.
Nakon što je izgubio tri prethodne djeluje protiv razina prvenstvo boraca, Oquendo je kako dokazati da je njegov četvrti put će biti šarm protiv dvije podjele titula Jhonny Gonzalez Meksika. Znatan gubitnik, Oquendo svladao prvog kruga obaranje ispustiti Gonzalez vrlo sljedeći krug putu do pobjede odlučivanja zabavna većinskom. Pobjeda je bila najveća u karijeri i stavlja ga u položaj za svjetski naslov pucao.
Kasnije te večeri, Martinez obranio WBO super pero prvenstvo protiv Orlando Salido. Poznat među portorikanski navijača za dvostruko premlaćivanja visoko krišom promatrati Juan Manuel Lopez, Salido osvojio naslove u 126 a 130 funti i pogleda kako bi osvetio prethodnu gubitak protiv Martinez. U trećem kolu, Salido zabio kontroverzni obaranje, ali sam završio na platnu kasnije u toj strofi ljubaznošću je Martinez desne ruke. Odatle, Martinez i Salido pokazali zašto Portoriko vs Meksiku smatra boks najbolji rivalstva, ide u rat do konačne zvono. Borba je vladao raskol privući, a treći susret će se vjerojatno održati.
Poput svojih sunarodnjaka Del Valle, 19-2, je imao uspone i padove u karijeri. U 2011, on je postigao karijeru najbolje pobijediti visoko cijenjenih Dat Nguyen uhvatiti NABA perolaka krunu u New Yorku manje od 24 sati prije portorikanski Day Parade. Nažalost, njegova dva poraza došla na velikim pozornicama protiv bivšeg svjetskog prvaka dvije podjele Vic Darchinyan i više kontroverznije se neporaženi kandidat Luis Rosa. Nakon ožujka 2014 smetnja od Rosa, Del Valle je vrijeme daleko od prstena i je odobren izlazak iz svojih promotivnih i menadžerskih ugovora. Razumijevanje da je u mjestu oštrije nego nekoliko godina prije, on je pažljivo procijeniti svoje mogućnosti.
Ovaj prošli ožujak, Del Valle, izronila bodovanje 8thokrugli zastoj tijekom vratar Roberto Carlos Castaneda i potpisivanje s Jay-Z-a, Roču Nation Sport. Nakon pobjede, on je zabavljao nekoliko borbi protiv ponude i očekuje da se bore još nekoliko puta u 2015. Nastup od svojih zemljaka u subotu navečer ipak ga staviti u sasvim drugačiju razmišljanje kada je otišao u teretanu sljedećeg jutra.
"Bio sam vrlo impresioniran Rocky i Oquendo,"Rekao je Del Valle. "Oba pretrpio višestruke poraze, ali ih je svladao izvodeći na veliku pozornicu prošlog tjedna. Nakon gledanja borbe, Sjedio sam se i shvatio da bi mogao biti, ako me dao sličnu priliku. To je uistinu me inspirirala trenirati teže jer želim napraviti Portoriko ponosni!"
Bez službenog datuma set za svoju sljedeću utakmicu, Del Valle se nada da primi mjesto na Miguel Cotto-Saula "Canelo" Alvarez undercard i obećava da će oduševiti ako dati priliku.
"Stvarni boks fanovi su više uzbuđeni za Cotto-Canelo od bilo koje druge borbe ove godine, uključujući Mayweather-Pacquiao. To će biti još jedan veliki poglavlje u Portoriku-Mexico suparništva. Bilo bi ostvarenje sna boriti na toj kartici protiv gornjem meksički boksač. Ja sam željan pokazati svijetu da Orlandito je natrag i motivirani!"
