If you don't ask, you won't receive. Jose "Rayo" Valenzuela shared his desire to right the wrongs of his 2022 third-round stoppage defeat by Edwin De Los Santos and three months shy of four full years since then, he gets that chance in a headline attraction from The Chelsea at The Cosmpolitan of Las Vegas.

"I can't help but think I saw the news that Edwin's back in town. I feel like God does everything for a reason, and maybe he's doing this so I can make things right again," the former WBA junior welterweight champion told The Ring's Nathaniel Marrero before outboxing Diego Torres to the tune of a wide ten-round points win on February 1.

The pair exchanged knockdowns in a back-and-forth battle lasting just three rounds, made more impressive by the fact De Los Santos (17-2, 15 KOs) accepted it on a day's notice against the heavy favorite. Their careers have been markedly different, yet filled with frustrating moments since that Los Angeles night in September 2022.

Valenzuela (15-3, 9 KOs) has floated between divisions before settling back down at lightweight. He endured a two-fight series with Chris Colbert, earned a split decision win over Isaac Cruz then was outboxed by Gary Antuanne Russell to lose his world title in his first defense and now rebuilds again with a new promotional home.

Two fights and 14 months after his career-best win, Dominican southpaw De Los Santos lost a competitive but frustrating 12-round decision against Shakur Stevenson for WBC honors at 135 pounds and has remained in the public consciousness despite an injury-enforced layoff.

Keyshawn Davis' weight miss last summer saw him dramatically miss out on another world title opportunity, for the WBO lightweight strap, and he parted ways from promoter Sampson Lewkowicz shortly afterwards.

He ended a two-year absence with a first-round finish of Mexican journeyman Eliot Chavez back among home comforts in his native Dominican Republic on December 13, inked a promotional deal with Zuffa the following month and now gets a chance to prove his first win was far from fortunate timing in a difficult 135-pound division.

Elsewhere on the card with more bouts to be announced in the coming weeks, featherweight hopeful Omar Trinidad (20-0-2, 14 KOs) faces former IBF junior bantamweight champion Jerwin Ancajas (38-4-2, 25 KOs) over 10 rounds, while Cain Sandoval (17-1, 15 KOs) faces Brandun Lee (30-0, 23 KOs) at welterweight with both seeking a career-best win.
