PhilBoxing.com Sat, 30 Apr 2016
Bayamon, PR (April 29, 2016) - 122 pound powerhouse Luis ?Orlandito? Del Valle looks to continue his march towards the top of his division when he faces hard hitting Thomas ?KO? Snow in an eight round bout Friday, May 13 at the D.C. Armory.
The fight will air live on BET at 10 PM ET.
Living and fighting out of Bayamon, PR, Del Valle?s professional record is 21-2 with 16 wins coming by way of knockout. A former NABA featherweight titlist, Del Valle destroyed Josh Crespo inside of two rounds April 9 in New Hampshire. Against Snow, Del Valle will look for his fourth straight win by stoppage.
Hailing from Capitol Heights, MD, which is 30 minutes from the nation?s capital, Snow enters the ring with an impressive 18-2 ledger and 12 victories via knockout. A winner in eight of his last nine, Snow looks to put the boxing world on notice with a victory in front of his friends and family on the 13th.
?This is my second straight fight against a confident opponent close to their hometown,? Del Valle said from his training camp in Puerto Rico. ?Fights like these add fuel to my fire because knocking out Thomas Snow in DC makes a bigger statement than doing it anywhere else.?
Del Valle also thinks a victory over Snow in front of a worldwide audience on BET will play a big role in moving him up the rankings.
?I really believe this fight is going to get me back where I need to be. Fighting on TV is very important at this stage of my career and I?d like to thank Roc Nation for this great opportunity. I also want to thank Thomas Snow for stepping up to the plate, even though he?s going to regret it afterwards!?
Promoted by Roc Nation as part of their ?Throne Boxing? series, the card is headlined by a ten round bout featuring rising star Dusty Harrison against contender Mike Dallas.
