SERRANO TO FACE VETERAN ORRANTIA ON ‘THE PATH TO GLORY’ THIS FRIDAY NIGHT

TOP PROSPECTS IN ACTION AT THE DOUBLETREE IN ONTARIO

ORANGE (November 4, 2009) – On Friday, November 6th, 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.

Bouts subject to change. Doors open at 6:30pm, and the first bell rings at 7:30pm.  The Doubletree Hotel is located at 222 North Vineyard Avenue in Ontario. The hotel phone number is 909-937-0900.
