Del Valle Inspired By Countrymen
Oquendo & Martinez
Last Saturday, featherweight contender Luis
“Orlandito” Del Valle saw fellow Puerto Ricans Jonathan Oquendo
and Ramon “Rocky” Martinez in exciting fights as part of the
Floyd Mayweather-Andre Berto undercard.
Having lost three prior bouts against championship level
fighters, Oquendo was out to prove that his fourth time would be
a charm against two-division titlist Jhonny Gonzalez of Mexico.
A considerable underdog, Oquendo overcame a first round
knockdown to drop Gonzalez the very next round en route to an
entertaining majority decision victory. The win was the biggest
of his career and puts him in position for a world title shot.
