Press Release
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 4, 2008 -- Undefeated junior lightweight sensation Abraham Lopez returns to the ring Friday night, September 5th, in a scheduled four round bout against Las Vegas native Omar Valencia at the Quiet Cannon Country Club in Montebello, California.
Lopez, the 20 year old La Puente resident, is coming off a dominating performance on July 25th taking a four round decision over the much more experienced Cuauhtemoc Mendoza at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. The win raised Lopez’s record to 3-0 with two knockouts.
Said Frank Espinoza, President of the Espinoza Boxing Club and manager of Lopez, “Abraham looked terrific against Mendoza and it worked well taking him out of town to fight. The fight against Valencia tomorrow night is another test for Abraham and I’m looking forward to seeing his progress.”
The All Star Boxing Promotions card is headlined by a rematch between lightweights John Molina and Eddie Brooks, the first fight which resulted in Molina stopping Brooks in the second round last December.
