VICENTE ESCOBEDO TO BATTLE RAYMUNDO BELTRAN ON JULY 9 EDITION OF "S?LO BOXEO TECATE" PhilBoxing.com Wed, 23 Jun 2010 DERRICK WILSON TAKES ON UNBEATEN RICKY LOPEZ IN CO-FEATURE FROM DENVER LOS ANGELES, June 22 - There will be some high heat thrown at Denver's Softball Park on Friday, July 9, when highly-regarded junior lightweight contenders Vicente Escobedo and Raymundo Beltran meet in the 10 round main event of TeleFutura's "S?lo Boxeo Tecate." In the co-featured bout of the evening, Denver's own Ricky Lopez looks to keep his unbeaten record intact when he takes on Florida standout Derrick Wilson in a six round junior featherweight bout. Escobedo vs. Beltran, which headlines a night of world-class boxing presented by Golden Boy Promotions and Frankie Sanchez Promotions is sponsored by Cerveza Tecate. Doors open at 6:00pm MT, the first bell rings at 7:30pm MT (amateur fights start at 6:30 PM) and the TeleFutura broadcast begins at 12:00am ET / PT. Tickets, priced at $20, $35, $50 and $75, are on sale now at Softball Country Thornton, Colorado, Champions MMA and Fitness in Parker, Colorado, Knockouts Haircuts For Men in Centennial and Parker, Colorado and by calling 303-378-5014. Tickets may also be purchased at Softball Park the night of the event beginning at 3:00pm MT World title contender Vicente "Chente" Escobedo (22-2, 14 KO's) has made great strides in his career since his days as a 2004 United States Olympian, impressing fight fans with his crisp punching, poise and warrior's heart. Winner of 13 of his last 14 bouts, with his lone defeat being a close split decision loss in a WBO Lightweight World Title bout against Michael Katsidis last September, Escobedo is back on track and ready for another crack at a belt. A native of Los Mochis, Mexico who now makes his home in Phoenix, "Sugar" Ray Beltran (23-4, 15 KO's) is a punishing puncher whose last seven wins have come by knockout. Fresh off of a seventh round stoppage of hot prospect David Torres in January, Beltran knows that a win over Escobedo will accelerate his run to the top. Fort Myers, Florida's Derrick Wilson (6-1-2, 2 KO's) made a huge impact on the fight scene last July when he handed unbeaten Charles Huerta his first loss via a 59 second knockout. Since then, Wilson has continued to battle tough opposition, most recently scoring a four round decision win over Samuel Sanchez in May. On July 9, he hopes to send another hot prospect crashing to defeat. 23-year old Ricky Lopez (7-0, 2 KO's) has made a lot of noise on the Southern California circuit, where he has won four in a row on Golden Boy Promotions' "Fight Night Club" cards. Now taking his show back to his hometown of Denver, Lopez plans on giving his local fans a night to remember on July 9.
