De Los Santos came out very strong, with hard shots that surprised Valenzuela and left him on shaky legs near the end of the first. In the second, De Los Santos continued to guard Valenzuela and had him on wobbly legs once again with heavy punches and hard hooks, but he landed a combination that dropped De Los Santos. However, De Los Santos then dropped Valenzuela with a flurry of punches, but lost a point for hitting Valenzuela while he was down.

Early in the third, an exchange of power shots dropped Valenzuela for the second time. De Los Santos landed a few more hard shots and the fight was stopped.
