Valle’s Body Attack Cut Short Georges’s Unbeaten Run in One

Marques Valle knocked out Luis Georges on August 15, 2025, at the ProBox Events Center in Plant City, Florida. A combination ending with a left to the body put Georges down for the count at 2:07 of the first round in their scheduled ten-round middleweight contest.

The return offered Valle a chance to rebound

Valle entered after suffering his first professional defeat against Damian Sosa in April 2024. The Georges matchup marked his return to competition after an extended absence.

Georges arrived unbeaten in twelve appearances and was fighting outside the Dominican Republic for the first time. That record made the assignment a meaningful test for a returning boxer seeking to rebuild his momentum.

Forward pressure created the opening at the ropes

Valle established his jab and right hand against the southpaw, gradually forcing Georges backward. Georges attempted counters, but could not stop Valle from closing distance.

With his opponent near the ropes, Valle delivered the finishing combination. The body attack prevented Georges from beating the count and ended the bout before either corner could make between-round adjustments.

A fast finish restored the winning column

Valle improved to eleven victories and one defeat, with eight wins inside the distance. Georges left with the first loss of his professional career.

The victory came on the same ProBox card as Starling Castillo’s decision over Shinard Bunch. Valle required far less time to settle his own assignment, using sustained pressure and an accurate final body punch to turn a long-awaited return into an emphatic opening-round result.
