Bouts for Ruelas Brothers Headline Boxing at Reseda

Brothers Gabriel and Rafael Ruelas of Arleta, both in line for possible world title fights later this year, will fight in scheduled 10-round bouts tonight at the Country Club in Reseda.

Gabriel, 20, will be making only his second appearance since he suffered a broken right elbow during a bout in April of 1990. After two operations, he came back June 1 at Palm Springs and hammered out a 10-round unanimous decision over Pedro Mendoza of Mexico.

Dan Goossen, president of Ten Goose Boxing in Van Nuys and manager of the brothers, said Gabriel (22-1) will fight in November against either Joey Gamache of New York for the vacant World Boxing Assn. junior-lightweight title or against International Boxing Federation junior-lightweight champion Tony Lopez of Sacramento.

In tonight’s bout, Gabriel will take on Fili Montoya (16-6-1) of Mexicali.

Rafael, 19, is 26-0 with 22 knockouts. He compiled that record in the featherweight division but now fights in the 135-pound lightweight division. He will box Narcizo Valenzuela (31-7-1, 23 knockouts) in tonight’s co-main event.

Rafael, according to Goossen, might get a shot at undisputed lightweight champion Pernell Whitaker, also in November.

In other bouts, middleweight Frank Liles (19-0), who trained at the famed Kronk Gym in Detroit before signing with Ten Goose early this year, will fight journeyman Rollin Williams (20-13-1) in a scheduled eight-round bout, and middleweight Joey DeGrandis, a two-time New England Golden Gloves champion with a pro record of 8-1, will fight Charles Wilson (4-3) in a four-rounder.

The card begins at 7:30, television coverage on Channel 13 at 8.
