@@assessmenttreatment8445 that is probably true, but alot can happen in 2 yrs. i got Teo, he's really stepped up his game & more experienced. Teo is a World class competitor now, Rayo mainly has POTENTIAL but still improving... maybe in 2 yrs
His defense is sub par right now. I feel the upper echelon of boxers in that weight class will counter him to death. If he improves on his defense he just may go much further. His combos and body work are great and his footwork is good as well.
@@clightning9703it would be awesome to see him do it. Im already keeping an eye on him but I'd become an instant fan of his. I feel Benavidez is bringing him along perfectly. His style will give issues to a lot of others right now without a doubt.
@@chicanobluesaz4191 agree.!! he's young, ambitious & hungry... but he needs to calm down, he's making a little too many mistakes... if he would settle down & pick his shots, i see him as the best at 130 without a doubt... he put Teo Lopez on his ass twice early on... so that tells us something about him. he'll go far
@@j.osh.4261 i know what he meant to say i was just pointing out he is a casual he said his last fight. He doesn’t watch rollies his last fight was avery sparrow.
He just didn't have the power to hurt Rayo. Every time he got a combo, he got it back in return but Rayo hit a hell of a lot harder and in greater volume.
Not only that ..rayo creativity was crazy he was finding all his opponents openings ..stray horn was supposed to box this kid like Floyd boxed maidana he stayed infront of him and tried to counter and trade didn’t use his feet and took to much punishment..but I think he had the skill to beat him just not the right strategy that’s his corner and trainers fault
This fight clearly shows why rayo stopped teofimo 2 times in sparring. The kid keeps coming and shows a good chin even though I think they need to work on him not getting hit so much. The way I see it is ,Lopez tried to outmuscle him and rayo kept going at him with his own power and was probably just eating anything Lopez threw at him and he couldn't take what rayo was giving him while taking his best shots. Rayo is a pressure, awkward puncher and a Southpaw with power who keeps coming.
He fighting 2 week replacement and still getting touched. He not fighting top opponent. This fight shows nothing. Rayo is 22 teofimo at 22 already champion. He needs to step up opponents if he’s good as he says he is.

@@oseasmartinez2365 the point is i dont think teo got kod by this dude who keeps getting hit easy. Thats the only reason i heard of rayo talking about teofimo. If he is good he should fight elite fighters. He just fought a 2 week replacement guy and got touched up.
@@barca_m1041 lol bruh, teo himself said it happend and then said let's see what happens now though) Teo dad even said he was gonna set up a 3rd sparring with cameras but never showed up. These are facts lol.
@@barca_m1041 rayo was still an amateur and is almost 3 years younger than teo but you want him fighting for titles with 8 fights smh. When they sparred and teo had like 5 pro fights already. Teo is one of my favorite fighters but these are facts. I couldn't belive it either until I seen everything. Teos dad was so mad that he wanted to fight benavidez snr and snr was just like. Why you so mad ,your the one that wanted them to spar again after getting stopped in 1 round.
Donte Strayhorn def is a warrior, you have have my respect and gain a new fan. My first time seeing Donte and even though Jose Valenzuela is for sure a future Champ, I found myself rooting for Donte after that first round. Donte has heart and he could have gone more rounds but the ref did his job and it was a good stop.
the kid is an offensive machine with good stamina in terms of continuously throwing punches in different angles... BUT he is too hittable. His chin is exposed most of the time.
You are all right guy...but his fisical condition is pretty good by the way.. He needs to have a better defense protecting all time the upper body mainly the face. But in My own point of view is a good fighter. Let's see who is the next.
That performance is without a doubt something special nobody expected him to stand in the pocket and trade with Valenzuela. His skill and chin is crazy can’t wait to see when he gets a full camp. Proud of him
El Rayo was trying to bring him in to engage but bro just took the punishment then threw some. I know Sr. Wanted him to get some rounds in but this kid wasn't trying to fight! Good win for Jose and I'm excited to see him work his way into the spotlight! 🥊PHX🥊
Jose has great speed no doubt, his power is pretty good. His head movement is good when he uses, in time he'll use it often as he develops.. very promising future as long he stays with his team & gets more fights/experience, he's only 22 no rush. These bouts are more exciting to watch than alot of experienced boxers today including Floyd
Great performance from both fighters Strayhorn is without a doubt something special nobody expected him to stand in the pocket and trade with Valenzuela. His skill and chin is crazy can’t wait to see when he gets a full camp. Congrats to Valenzuela great young talent

Nah bruh , rayo was murking him and the kid is barley like 21. The other guy is probably your boy but there's levels in boxing and he ain't on that playing field,especially if he ain't got power.
He has the skill to beat him ..he just should of stayed on the outside and boxed him like sugar ray Lenard boxed haggler ..all fights aren’t won threw might alone

@@oseasmartinez2365 dude I’m a fighter and I’m sure Ik more about boxin then u ..I’m not saying he coulda pulled a Lenard I’m saying that style of outside fighting was his best chance only chance at winning this fight ..it’s not hard for an experienced boxer to box from the outside avoid the ropes and not stand infront of the opponent.. use your footwork to keep him off balance so he can’t plant his feet to land those heavy shots all while controlling him with a good jab which strayford had ..Ik cuz I’ve literally done this in the ring and I’m not even pro (even tho I have boxed pros)..strayford literally just stood there and tried to trade with the obvious bigger heavier hitter ..suicide ..Rayo is a puncher not a boxer controlling him from the outside would not have been hard for strayford as he has the skills
Rayo es uno de mis prospectos favoritos, y aunque se le ve con madre el chaleco 🔥 No lo debería de portar porque esa es una de las razones que nuestra gente emigra a los estados unidos, por la violencia que hay en Mexico, pero que siga poniendo la bandera en lo más alto 🇲🇽🔥🔥🔥
Everyone on here giving Strayhorn to much credit because he took the fight but forget he has 16 fights and over 100 amateur fights vs rayo with 8 fights and only 21. I been a trainer for 10 years, when you get a short notice call they also tell you atleast 3 to 4 weeks before that you might have a fight with good pay but you don't have to sign the contract until atleast 5 days before the fight. Rayo is just on another level
@@cameronstowe8842 lol did you read my post. Commentators ain't promoters or managers. You have 4 days before the fight to sign so they can have enough time to run everything threw the commission ect. Sometimes they even wait 3 days so the fight won't fall threw and as a manager and trainer you want to get the most money you can for your fighter since he's going against a prospect. It don't matter if the phone call was 1 days before , you need time to negotiate and run drug test plus commission approval and if their cleared by the doctor which you have to send in and that takes atleast 3 days to get cleared. I've went threw this with fighters atleast 5 times. Sometimes you can even send in everything except the fight contract until your there so you can make them give you more money.
I think it was an early stoppage really! And this kid did spar Teofimo a long time ago but Teo has developed a hell of a lot more , I don’t see him lasting 1 round with Teo now especially when he leaves himself wide open like this all day!
Thanks for stopping by and bringing this fight to my attention unfortunately i'm no longer able to get content from ESPN Knockout at the moment although i am working on it
GREAT PERFORMANCE BY JOSE VALENZUELA Executions blth too the body and head. Excellent pace Utilizing his jabs to set up Combinations. Valenzuela Concentrate attacking the body with sharp punishing left & right hooks. Good Stoppage by the referee. Much respect to Donte Strayhorn in a "COURAGEOUS" effort and taking the fight in very short notice. Congratulaciones to Our "LATINO" Rising Star Jose Valenzuela. "LATINO STRONG AND GETTING STRONGER"
Valenzuela is frustrating to watch, he's good but he will be KO'd the way he never protects his self with his hands down and seems to keep his head in the same spot when he starts throwing combos
Muy bien el Rayo Valenzuela pero debe mejorar su defensa y movimiento de cabeza para que no lo vayan a sorprender con una bala perdida o un golpe de volado.
Venezuela drops his right hand down to his Waist everytime he loads up on the left hand! Elite fighters will make him pay for that technical flaw. Venezuela is a big strong lightweight but he's Str8 up & down with no special effects. His defense is mediocre at best which means he's there to be hit, if Strayhorn had more punching power he could have hurt & possibly knocked Venezuela out. Im not impress!
Yea Strahorn was a Hella of competitor. Them boys out of Cincinnati are normally pretty good, so expected some skill. Vanequella is a talent I came to check him out, alot of punches, angles and power his gonna be big
Very disappointed that was an early stoppage my boy Donte was good still. I guess he just waited a lil too long and the ref got worried. But that's a lesson learned now he knows he has to engage alot more and not wait on trying to tire out your opponent. That's a bad strategy anyway. In a fight you have to just go in and give it your ALL no matter what. If that fails well then the better man wins. But you did your best and gave it your all no one can 💩 on you for that
Valenzuela's shot is ALL power shot! He got a Power! My concern is his defense need to be tight. I saw some punches from his opponent landed many times to his jaw and if Valenzuela's opponent is a Hard hitter ,El Rayo is Going to sleep.
Valenzuela has a very amateur style i know he only have 8 fights and he already talk about Teofimo Lopez. He gets hit a lot he’s lucky he’s opponents has no power..
This kid is a smaller version of David Benavidez He’s gonna give all the top 135 and 140 guys trouble I would like to see Strahorn after a full camp He has some real skills and speed
they keep bringin up the fact that jose sparred lopez but dont mention the fact that 2 out of 3 of those sparring sessions jose knocked lopez out. put respect on his name!
Jose Valenzuela is who tank should fight if the black community really thinks tank is really fighting top talent. Ryan, tank, Haney all run from each other to not fight top tier. Get that straight first
Valenzuela can be a good boxer in the future, but he doesn't move his head even if his life depends on it. He needs to practice avoiding punches, he needs to practice more defense.
Kid shows excellent sportsmanship in the 2nd when Strathorn is bending down, not to unload on him. Lots of other fighters would've done differently there. I like Valenzuela. Kids got a great story. I dont want him to keep standing straight up like this anymore though, with his chin in the air, makes me real nervous for him. I think the Benavidez family adopted him not long ago...
Offense it the best defense, look at manny and mayweather. Manny's combo's and never ending combinations prevents him from getting hit and everyone saying that mayweather is just good with his shoulder roll but no, he's good at defending because he's also good at jabbing his jab is his best defense which is also an offense.
For a mexican he don't fight like one This rayo guy very slick great footwork, with head movement he gonna be world champ soon and problems for da guys on top I bet my money on it and can't wait for his next fight.
Im from phx so im down for the benavidez team all the time every time but i wonder what kind of fight it would of been if guys had 6 or 4 weeks to train
I agree with the comments about his defense. He looks good offensively and some defense, but In this fight, i don't like how he pops his head up@times after and during an exchange. He pops straight up, chin exposed and backs straight out, so if he does that against a more seasoned guy, with pop and a full camp, he could get hurt. Other than that he looks good for only 8 fights.
13:17 can someone tell me what that sound he made was about? Maybe a cultural thing. Had me lol. 😂 “el rayo” is no joke, real deal. He’s David benavidez LW version.
Like i said before hes a mini benevidez. I see so many similarities in style he doesnt have the height tho so hes gonna have to tweak the style a bit but i cant wait until he refines it. I hope to see Rayo develop an rise thru the ranks the next few yrs.
Not enough head movement from Strayhorn, if he doesnt check that he wont have a long career. As for Valenzuela leaves himself too open for counters, a good counter puncher with better head movement would end him.

Rayo is a beast he exposed Teofimo before Kambosos even did
Strayhorn with a weeks notice and he was winning rounds this was gone be a great fight if the ref wasn’t working wit em
Damn I thought Chauncey billups was his coach for a sec lol
Very good contest , too much damage during short time for one brave combatant, prudent stoppage by great referee .
This kid is a smaller version of David Benavidez
He’s gonna give all the top 135 and 140 guys trouble
I would like to see Strahorn after a full camp
He has some real skills and speed
Strayhorn is a BEAST to fight the way he did on short notice.
Still would've had the same out come. There's a power & skill difference here.
Buen grits morro ponte el corido el rayo de sinaloa te keda
Good fight
they keep bringin up the fact that jose sparred lopez but dont mention the fact that 2 out of 3 of those sparring sessions jose knocked lopez out. put respect on his name!
se paso de bueno el rayo cuando le tumbo el protector eso le puede costar caro pero bien de suparte
Valenzuela is the truth....we are going to see him in the future. He's bound to get a belt!
Jose Valenzuela is who tank should fight if the black community really thinks tank is really fighting top talent. Ryan, tank, Haney all run from each other to not fight top tier. Get that straight first
Valenzuela can be a good boxer in the future, but he doesn't move his head even if his life depends on it. He needs to practice avoiding punches, he needs to practice more defense.
Me lo recetaron bonito al donte por ko. Otro mexicano chin viva México 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽👏👏👏
Valenzuela is a talented fighter but every time strayhorn throws he lands. He just don’t have the power to keep Valenzuela off of him
Strayhorn is tough. Much respect.
Strayhorn will thank the referee ahead on life for stoping the fight.
Strayhorn had skills but Rayo was too much too powerful and accurate.
Steayhorn , has much potential
Great shot variety
That's why i follow him. His combos are on point
My movement doesn't change even in the grocery store ,low key drillin
Two different levels
He's on a good track to be a very good fighter good team David benavdious is one of the best fighters in the world my Favorite fighter.
Benavidez the cocaine addict
He's your favorite fighter yet, you spelled his name wrong 🤔

Precision boxing 🥊 by Valenzuela
Landing landing
Kid shows excellent sportsmanship in the 2nd when Strathorn is bending down, not to unload on him. Lots of other fighters would've done differently there. I like Valenzuela. Kids got a great story. I dont want him to keep standing straight up like this anymore though, with his chin in the air, makes me real nervous for him. I think the Benavidez family adopted him not long ago...
Offense it the best defense, look at manny and mayweather. Manny's combo's and never ending combinations prevents him from getting hit and everyone saying that mayweather is just good with his shoulder roll but no, he's good at defending because he's also good at jabbing his jab is his best defense which is also an offense.
For a mexican he don't fight like one This rayo guy very slick great footwork, with head movement he gonna be world champ soon and problems for da guys on top I bet my money on it and can't wait for his next fight.
Im from phx so im down for the benavidez team all the time every time but i wonder what kind of fight it would of been if guys had 6 or 4 weeks to train
I agree with the comments about his defense. He looks good offensively and some defense, but In this fight, i don't like how he pops his head up@times after and during an exchange. He pops straight up, chin exposed and backs straight out, so if he does that against a more seasoned guy, with pop and a full camp, he could get hurt. Other than that he looks good for only 8 fights.
Good stoppage. Strayhorn has too much heart. But El Rayo did get hit easily.
Good fight.
13:17 can someone tell me what that sound he made was about? Maybe a cultural thing. Had me lol. 😂 “el rayo” is no joke, real deal. He’s David benavidez LW version.
ye its called a "mexican grito" its like when cowboys go "yeehaw" doesn't mean anything, just a noise they like to make.
o no tiene pegada, o el moreno aguanta chingadazos porque con todos esos madrazos era para noquear a cualquiera.
El Africano aguanta hasta martillasos carnalito porque El Rayo pega
Strayhom should have been given more time to prepare for this fight. He is a good fighter no doubt.
Arriba México
Arriba Sinaloa los Mochis
Aoow aow aow
Ese Rayo Valenzuela
Bendiciones
Valenzuela fights from the outside
Once he's in front of you he has you hurt 🤕
Strayhorn proves to be straying strayhay.
Like i said before hes a mini benevidez. I see so many similarities in style he doesnt have the height tho so hes gonna have to tweak the style a bit but i cant wait until he refines it. I hope to see Rayo develop an rise thru the ranks the next few yrs.
strayhorn's a problem!
Fighting farmer would be great business
Not enough head movement from Strayhorn, if he doesnt check that he wont have a long career. As for Valenzuela leaves himself too open for counters, a good counter puncher with better head movement would end him.
This is why you drill thruout life not just in the gym
I love on rayos card it says he spars with teofimo 😂
Lmfaooo 💯
Isn’t this the guy that beat up teofimo
Strayhorn is a tough dude, should of thrown more.
Valenzuela is a beast needs to work on his defense cause some one with more skills will catch him
el rayos defen so bad.
