Press Release: On Friday, November 6th, Huntington Park, California’s 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.

In the eight round main event, Indio junior welterweight Patrick “El Elegante” Lopez (16-2, 11 KOs) – who is fresh off a 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”, Riverside’s Alberto Herrera (5-0, 4 KOs) has already built a sizeable fan following in Southern California. The junior middleweight battles Billings, Montana's 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) must 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.
