Comments Thread For: Del Valle, Gonzalez Continue The NYC Boricua Invasion

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Cliff Rold - Showing excellent speed and stamina, 24-year old Puerto Rican Featherweight Luis Orlando Del Valle (13-0, 10 KO) of Newburgh, New York, looked like a future factor in the division in his first ten round affair, scoring a unanimous decision over a game but outgunned 28-year old Vietnamese battle Dat Nguyen (17-2, 6 KO) of Vero Beach, Florida, on Saturday night at the Roseland Ballroom in New York City.

Both men weighed in two pounds below the Featherweight limit at 126 lbs. The referee was Steve Smoger.

Del Valle landed a big right hand seconds into the contest and then another, followed by a just blocked left hook. Showing eye-catching speed, Del Valle landed another right hand before matters slowed just a bit. Nguyen tried to establish his jab and Del Valle continued to paste him with right hands for his trouble.

A flurry of body blows instantly changed the tone of the contest for Nguyen at the start of the second, his aggression creating chances to land a left and right upstairs at well. It was a good opening minute. Then, Del Valle adjusted and the right hand was again finding a home on Nguyen’s face. Del Valle controlled the last two minutes, slipping Nguyen’s return fire and snapping his man’s head around with shots Nguyen couldn’t get away from. [Click Here To Read More]

Great fights to watch future champs right there

Great step up fights for both, with 21 years old and less than 20 fights these guys are going up in competition while the Chavez Jr and Canelo's are still fighting chumps after 40 fights. Orlandito is an amazing prospect and was a outstanding amateur, he even beat Luis Cruz back in the day as amateurs. Del Valle handspeed and stamina are great, Gonzalez is a bit slow and has a lot of work to do but overall they both showed me that they're at least progressing...

The hell with what the haters say, get out of here with that. good win for these prospect. Perhapes championship in the future. I love the Pic of the Statue of liberty. It captures a time in history for Puertor Ricans. **** what you heard.. this photo captures a great moment in the history of Puerto Ricans. The Puerto Rican flag was put their by Boricua independista revolutionaries during the 70's or late 80's to bring national attention. These brave man and woman took hostage of the legendary statue for the cause of Puerto Rico independence from the United States. In lieu of the National Puerto Rican day parade it a great for thing for ricans that say they are Puerto Ricans, yet they know nothing of it's history. In order to be a nation is a flag needed? this theory was proven by the Jew's people for thousands of years jew's had no flag yet they were a nation. Meaning a nation is a way of life, history, music, food, the family,language.. etc.. However it is a bueatifull thing to have a national flag. my respect go's out to those revolutionaries because of them we have a flag, they put this flag up fighting with there own blood to put it up as it was forbidden. esoooo those are the fact folks..
