The heavy handed 21 year old Lopez, newly signed to Southern California based Thompson Boxing Promotions has run his pro record to 5-0 (4KOs) since making his debut last March. He will square off against Los Mochis , Mexico veteran Manuel Sarabia, 16-28-9 (10KOs) in a scheduled six round bout. Said manager Frank Espinoza, Weve moved Abraham rather quickly, this is his third scheduled six rounder, but with the work hes put in at the gym and his confidence in the ring, we feel hes on the right track. The last two guys he knocked out early but Sarabia is a lot tougher and should be a solid test for Abraham. In his last bout, Lopez knocked out Alvaro Muro in the second round on December 11th at the Marriott Hotel in Irvine , California . Ideally, wed like to have six starts for Abraham in 2009; hes young but very professional in his approach. The fans are in for a real treat on Friday night as they get to watch Abrahams progress continued Espinoza. NEW BLOOD III, a seven bout action packed card takes place at the Doubletree Hotel, 222 N.
