PhilBoxing.com



Edison Miranda.

Goossen Tutor Boxing in conjunction with the Tachi Palace Hotel and Casino at Lemoore, California will present a WBO NABO Super middleweight championship title fight on Thursday, October 22nd at the Ballroom of the Tachi Palace Hotel Casino Resort.

The fight for the vacant WBO NABO title will be between Edison ”Pantera” Miranda and Francisco “Panchito” Sierra.

Miranda, the wily veteran from Buenaventura, Columbia who now resides in Carolina, Puerto Rico holds a respectable record of 32-4-0, (28KO) His only losses came from more prominent boxers including two to Arthur Abraham and one each to Kelly Pavlik and Andre Ward.. The fight at Tachi will be Miranda’s second foray in the West Coast. He mostly fought east of the Mississippi. River and in Europe.

Francisco “ Panchito” Sierra is a native of Tepic, Nayarit, Mexico. Sierra parades a record of 22-2-0-(19KO). His only losses were to the same opponent, Jalisco, Mexico native, Rigoberto Alvarez. His first loss was to Alvarez was a 12 round UD and the second, a TKO in the 10th.

The fight at Tachi will also be the second time Sierra will be fighting out of his native Mexico. Save from his bout with Henry Porras at San Jose, Costa Rica whom he beat via a TKO on the 9th round of a 10 round fight, Sierra fought only in his native land.

The fight promises to be a slam-bang affair as both fighters will try to impress their US audience with the winner possibly landing more fights, even at Vegas or LA.

In the supporting main event, Wasco native Manuel “ El Toro” Quezada, a heavyweight fighter who is a mainstay at Tachi Palace will tangle against Nicolai “Stone-Man” Firtha of Akron, Ohio.

Quezada’s last three fights at the Tachi Palace all ended in stoppage. Last February, he TKO’d Eric Boose at the 5th round. He followed that with a 1st round KO of Jeffrey Brownfield at April and then another KO in the first round last July against Travis Walker. Quezada now holds a record of 28-4-0, (18KO)

Firtha on the other hand is coming off two successive losses, one to Neven Pajkic at Toronto, Canada and the other to Tye Fields at Alberta, Canada.

Firtha hopes to get back in his winning ways against Quezada. However, if he does not bring his “A” game, it will be a short night for him as Quezada in on a roll.

Four other fights complete the fight card.

A welterweight fight between Mike Dallas ( 25-4-1 ,13KO of nearby Bakersfield and Sergio de la Torre (11-12-3, 1KO of Escondido.

A lightweight fight between Martin “El Brochas” Honorio ( 25-4-1, 13 KO) of Mexico City and Ricardo Medina ( 31-34-5, 17 KO ) of Mazatlan.

Another will be a bantamweight bout between Epraim Martinez (2-0-0) of Bakersfield and Hugo Ramos (2-3-1, 1KO) OF Palm Springs.

Malik Scott ( 32-0-0, 11 K a heavyweight from Philadelphia, PA is also in the card. At this writing, his opponent is still TBA.
