“The fight fell through once, and my opponent stayed in,” said Marques Valle after the weigh-in for his fight tonight on ProBox TV, which begins at 6 PM PST, on the west coast on the app.

For Valle, a big puncher, he has only gone seven rounds across a total of six pro fights. His opponent, Luis Sanchez, has fought 12 times as a pro, and gone 48 rounds. The big theme of this fight is this is a step up in competition. If Valle looks good eight round fights could be in his future, and what that means is bigger name opponents and fight checks.

Valle, who got an RSC at the Olympic Trials against Wayne Boudreaux, recently knocked out Benjamin Whittaker, who took Callum Walsh all six rounds in their regional fight. Sanchez is serving as a dangerous and credible opponent who is looking to go rounds at the least, and at best coming to win.

Valle confessed it has been hard to have opponents for a long time, as often the opponents switch based on the risk of fighting him, so he is eager for this opportunity. As Valle will be in the co-main event spot, but as for main eventing card soon, he a very profound statement.

“I want to earn it,” said Valle. “I want to have the kind of fights that make the fans want to come see as the main eventer.”
