Share

Mira Loma junior welterweight Mark Lewis will put his 14-1 record on the line tonight in the Marriott Ballroom’s 10-round main event against Tijuana’s Paco Cuesto.

Lewis, a 1991 Golden Gloves champion and a quarterfinalist at the 1992 Olympic trials, has knocked out 12 of 15 opponents, but should be tested by Cuesta. Cuesta has ended 22 of his 30 victories by knockouts. He also has 10 losses and a draw.

The semi-main event will be a six-round featherweight matchup between Marcos Licona (7-0 with four knockouts) of Westminster and Rodrigo Valenzuela (9-9, 4 KOs) of Lakeside.

The four-fight undercard, which begins at 7:30, features heavyweight Jason Williams (3-3, 3 KOs) of Long Beach against Stefon Bellochi (7-7, 4 KOs) of Hollywood. Williams is the brother of Jeremy Williams, who recently fought for the world heavyweight title. Jason Williams is coming off a victory over Duke Mantee at the Pyramid in May.

Tickets, at $35, $30 and $25, can be purchased at the Marriott.
