Valenzuela vs De Los Santos FULL FIGHT: September 4, 2022 | PBC on FOX PPV

The Dominican Republic’s Edwin De Los Santos (15-1, 14 KOs) scored an upset via third-round TKO as he dropped the previously unbeaten Jose Valenzuela (12-1, 8 KOs) three times before referee Ray Corona waived off the bout 1:08 into the round.

"Valenzuela is a fighter who I feel has been protected and I wanted to show everyone what I’m capable of,” said De Los Santos. "The plan wasn't to come forward so much, but when I saw how he was fighting, I was ready to go toe-to-toe. The Mexican fighters love to fight like that, but he was open for me to attack.”

“I didn't expect De Los Santos to be as aggressive as he was in the fight,” said Valenzuela. “He gave it out as he good as he took. I just want to focus on getting back in the ring and redeeming myself."

A late replacement who officially stepped in to face Valenzuela this week, De Los Santos looked sharp from the outset, staggering Valenzuela in round one, although Valenzuela was able to survive the round. Early in round two Valenzuela was staggered again, but was able to shift the momentum temporarily, landing a powerful left hook that put De Los Santos down.

After rising to his feet, De Los Santos was able to regain momentum with a series of right hooks that put Valenzuela down hard. De Los Santos was penalized by the referee for throwing an extra shot while Valenzuela was down, which gave Valenzuela extra time to recover and make it through the round.

De Los Santos looked the fresher fighter heading into the round and was able to drop Valenzuela again early in the frame. Valenzuela again was able to get back on his feet but after a follow up flurry from De Los Santos, the referee jumped in and officially waived off the fight.

"I came in against a ranked fighter tonight and I was up for the task,” said De Los Santos. “Now I want the same name that everyone wants. I want Gervonta Davis.”

To beat him like that on a days notice is crazy

[atilathesonofdanubius]

I'm very impressed at how accurate with his punches De Los Santos is. He also has very good defense.

[ricocase]

Rayo felt that power from the beginning and it changed his whole game plan

[realreal.sb]

I forgot how hard he hits...damn. Shakur better be on his A game

[New-Breed-Drywall-And-Paint]

Damn that’s high level reffing right there, that’s the best reff i seen ever . No one else would have stopped that fight . Rayo was standing ko cold . After that it’s unnecessary damage

Every time Edwin lands there’s a distinct thud. Dudes got some paws for real

[Zzzkilla]

Los santos is sneaky good! That power jab is something else

[spercival]

De los Santos looked sensational, if he can keep this level against top level opponents, he’s a problem. If shakur stays in the pocket, he’ll taste something he doesn’t like.

[Antfrom]

Edwin is the oldest looking 24 year old I’ve seen besides Mike Tyson. Got his man strength early asf too. Shakur’s got a difficult fight.

[einfamous]

I don’t think Shakur can hurt de los santos. With this guy throwing 5 punch combos with that speed. Shakur is in trouble. De los santos with the upset!

[Whopnpop]

This is what a fight looks like when the other boxer DOES NOT respect your power…. SHAKUR BETTER BRING HIS POWER 👨🏿‍⚖️
