Posted on | January 22, 2012 | No Comments

By unanimous decision, Luis ‘Orlandito’ Del Valle ( 15-0, 11KO’s ) defeated tough Mexican José Beranza ( 34-22-2, 26 KO’s ) in last night’s 8 round fight at the super bantamweight ( 122 lbs. ) division.  The judge’s called it at 80-72, 78-74 and 79-73 in favor of Del Valle.
“Beranza wouldn’t quit, I give him a lot of credit for his performance because he really made me work hard. But I used the counter punches to my advantage and fought from outside to win him over round by round”, said the undefeated rising prospect from Puerto Rico.
“The fight went as expected. Really tough, against a veteran of more than 50 fights who has defeated some very good formerly undefeated boxers”, said Raymond Rivera, Orlandito’s manager and trainer about the opponent.
Beranza has beaten Boricuas Jesús Rojas (18-1-2, 13KO’s) and Juan Carlos Velázquez (10-1, 5KO’s), as well as recently Christopher Martin (23-1-3, 6KO’s). He also won against former world champion Ivan Hernández (26-5-1, 15KO’s).
