Orrantia on "The Path to Glory" This Friday Night
November 5, 2009
ORANGE (November 5, 2009) – Tomorrow
night Huntington Park’s unbeaten Hector ‘Teco’ Serrano returns to action
at the Doubletree Hotel in Ontario, California, in one of the featured
bouts on Thompson Boxing Promotions’ latest edition of “The Path to
Glory” series. Looking to spoil his perfect 9-0 record in the
lightweight six rounder will be seasoned Los Mochis, Mexico native Jaime
Orrantia, who replaces Raul Franco on the six bout card.
For tickets to “The Path to Glory”, priced at $75, $45 and $30, please
call 714-935-0900.
In the eight round main event, Indio junior welterweight Patrick “El
Elegante” Lopez (16-2, 11 KOs) – who is fresh off a spectacular first
round knockout of Tyler Ziolkowski in September - looks for his second
big win in a row when he takes on Hermosillo, Mexico’s Sergio “Pollero”
Rivera (14-3-2, 10 KOs) in what is expected to be a pitched battle
between two fighters who aren’t afraid to throw down.
Known as “Baby Dynamite” for his explosive style in the ring,
Riverside’s Alberto Herrera (5-0, 4 KOs) has already built a sizeable
fan following in Southern California. In the ‘Path to Glory’ co-main
event, this promising junior middleweight battles Billings, Montana KO
artist Jesus Vallejo (3-1, 3 KOs) in a bout not many are expecting to go
the six round distance.
Looking to get back on the winning track after a rough two fight stretch
against Mauricio Herrera and Danny Garcia, Tijuana’s Pavel Miranda
(18-4, 10 KOs) has the determination and talent to do so, but he must
first get by Vardan “Vito” Gasparyan (11-2-4, 5 KOs) of Los Angeles, a
fighter with ‘upset’ on his mind for this welterweight six rounder.
6-0 with 4 KOs, Los Angeles featherweight Efrain Esquivias first made a
name for himself as a 2006 National Golden Gloves champion. On November
6th he will look to improve on his perfect pro record against an
opponent to be determined.
In the ‘Path to Glory’ opener, debutants Ramon Valenzuela Jr. of Chicago
and Leonardo Sandival of Los Angeles meet in four round middleweight
contest.

at 7:30pm. The Doubletree Hotel is located at 222 North Vineyard Avenue
