Del Valle, Gonzalez Continue The NYC Boricua Invasion
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.
