Unbeaten Poll to Fight Mexico’s Ortega

Junior featherweight Jesus Poll (15-0-2, four knockouts), the latest member of the Ten Goose boxing organization, makes his second appearance for his new employers as he headlines the card Tuesday night at the Reseda Country Club. Poll, a native Venezuelan living in North Hollywood, will fight Rodolfo Ortega (21-16-3, 13 knockouts) of Mexico City in the 10-round main event.

Ortega’s biggest win was a knockout in 1982 over Miguel Canto, one of Mexico’s greatest flyweights. More recently, Ortega won a 1986 decision over Raul Perez, currently ranked third among bantamweights by the WBC and fifth by the World Boxing Assn. Perez won the rematch, held earlier this year, on a decision.

Also on the card will be two four-round lightweight bouts pitting Jerry Rosenberg (6-2, two knockouts) of Glendale against Efran Granillo (1-6, one knockout) of San Jose and Steve Lewis (3-2, three knockouts) of North Hollywood against Manuel Davila (3-2, three knockouts) of Los Angeles.

Matchmaker Larry Goossen also hopes to put together two additional fights for the card, which will begin at 8.
