\"\"<\/a>On a second consecutive night of fights on ShoBox: The New Generation on SHOWTIME\u00ae, featherweight Luis Orlando \u201cOrlandito\u201d Del Valle\u2019s rising star shined in a 10-round unanimous decision over Dat \u201cBe Dat\u2019\u2019 Nguyen with scores of 99-91 three times. In the co-feature, Jonathan Gonzalez scored a convincing 10-round unanimous decision by the scores of 99-91 and 98-92 twice in a junior middleweight matchup over Richard Gutierrez from Roseland Ballroom in New York City on the eve of the Puerto Rican Day Parade. Del Valle (13-0,10 KOs), of Bayamon, P.R., impressed the boisterous Boricua-based crowd and SHOWTIME announcers alike with his sharp shots and well-timed counter punches. Known for throwing a high volume of shots, Nguyen (17-2, 6 KOs), a resident of Vero Beach, Fla., came out swinging but Del Valle anticipated Nguyen\u2019s wide punches with crisp counters. The two exchanged many times throughout the early rounds with Del Valle winning the upper hand nearly every time. As Del Valle\u2019s face bore only a small cut under his right eye, Nguyen\u2019s slug-marked mug swelled more and more with each passing round. Though Del Valle, who was taking a big step up in level of opposition, proved that his name belonged higher on the prospects to watch list, Nguyen showed a tremendous amount of bravado \u2013 and a granite chin \u2013 as he refused to give up or even hit the canvas.\n<\/p>\n

\u201c[Nguyen] is very strong and determined,\u201d said Del Valle after the fight. \u201cHe has a good chin and more power than his record shows.\u201d Beginning in the sixth round, Del Valle dominated the fight by teeing off on Nguyen against the ropes where Nguyen couldn\u2019t counter with more than a few unwise \u201cbring it on\u201d taunts at the surging Puerto Rican. The crowd got behind the 24-year-old Del Valle as he closed out the best performance of his young career. \u201cFor my money, Del Valle stole the show,\u201d said SHOWTIME analyst Steve Farhood. \u201cJust an outstanding performance.\u201d The night\u2019s opening bout began before the bell as both contestants shouted insults to one another from across the ring. The fight started with two action rounds to the crowd\u2019s delight that saw Gonzalez unload countless power shots and Gutierrez returning with hard counters. As the scrap settled into the third round and beyond, the fighters were warned about multiple fouls by referee Gary Rosato from low blows to hitting behind the head and the clashing of heads. In the 6th round, Gonzalez began to pick the action back up and unload heavy shots to the head and body of Guttierez but ended his barrage with a low blow that gave Gutierrez some much needed time to recover.<\/p>\n

Gonzalez stayed active through his first career distance fight winning a satisfying unanimous decision. As for what\u2019s next for the 126-pound Del Valle: \u201cHe\u2019s going to go down to 122, whether he wants to or not,\u201d said co-promoter Lou DiBella. \u201cHe\u2019s already got power now. At 122, forget it.\u201d The card was co-promoted by DiBella Entertainment and Gary Shaw Productions. The telecast will replay this Thursday, June 16 at 10:30 p.m. ET\/PT on SHOWTIME EXTREME\u00ae and be available On Demand beginning June 14 through June 27. Curt Menefee called the action from ringside with Farhood handling the expert analysis. Gordon Hall is the Executive Producer with Richard Gaughan producing and Rick Phillips directing.<\/p>\n
