Del Valle to meet Crespo April 9! PhilBoxing.com Sat, 02 Apr 2016 Bayamon, PR (April 1, 2016) ? Super bantamweight contender Luis ?Orlandito? Del Valle returns to the ring Saturday, April 9 to face New England titlist Josh Crespo in an eight round bout at Rockingham Park in Salem, NH. Tickets from $35 are on sale by calling 860-982-2532 or 603-898-2311. A blood and guts warrior who gives fans their monies worth every time he enters the squared circle, Del Valle has an outstanding 20-2 record with 15 wins by knockout. In November 2015, the Bayamon native stopped 50-plus fight veteran Jose Juan Beltran after two rounds in Comerio, Puerto Rico. Currently signed to an exclusive promotional contract with Jay-Z?s Roc Nation Sports, Del Valle has his sights set on another big fight but first must conquer the task at hand. Born and raised in New Haven, CT, Crespo is riding a wave of confidence having defeated Jorge Abiague (9-1) for the New England super bantamweight championship last November. Crespo?s professional ledger is a deceptive 6-2-3 with 2 KO?s but he?s unbeaten in his last five, facing two undefeated fighters in the process. If victorious, Del Valle is expected to appear in a televised bout in the immediate future. While some potentially view this fight as a given for Del Valle prior to bigger and better things, the 29-year-old knows that records don?t tell the whole story and Crespo?s hunger can?t be overlooked. ?I?ve got big plans but that all goes out the window if I don?t do what I have to against Crespo,? Del Valle said from his training camp in Puerto Rico. ?Anybody who really knows boxing understands that a record doesn?t determine how good a fighter is. I?ve seen Crespo before. He?s tough and willing to take on anybody which is evident by the fact that he?s facing me rather than a lesser opponent. I?m training like I?m the underdog since this fight is close to his hometown and I?ve got a lot on the line.?
