Los Angeles, CA – It was recently learned that 2008 US Olympian Shawn Estrada will undergo arthroscopic surgery on his right shoulder this Wednesday, January 21, 2009 in Los Angeles. Dr. Douglas E. Garland of the Southern California Center for Sports Medicine will perform the surgery for what is described as a decompression of the subacromial space. Dr. Garland expects the operation to be a complete success and that Estrada should be able to resume training within ninety days after the procedure.
Estrada, who was scheduled to fight on January 24 in Minnesota and again on February 6 as the opening bout on Showtime’s ShoBox series at the Tachi Palace, will undergo rehab at Southern California Center for Sports Medicine.
Estrada is scheduled to return to the ring in April 2009. “I've been through a lot in my life in a very short period and this is just another one of life's lessons and obstacles,” stated Shawn. “I know how to deal with it mentally and physically and because of that I will come back stronger than ever. By the time I get back into the ring, I will definitely be ready to wreak havoc again!”
LOS ANGELES, CA - Undefeated lightweight Jesus “POLLO” Hernandez will return to action this Friday night, January 23rd at the Quiet Cannon in Montebello, California.
Hernandez, born in Los Mochis, Mexico , now fighting out of East Los Angeles, will face Mexican veteran, Manuel “Diablito” Sarabia in a scheduled six round bout at BATTLE OF THE RISING STARS, promoted by Ed Holmes’ All Star Boxing.
“POLLO” is coming off a fifth round stoppage of Noe Inzunza on July 11th at the Quiet Cannon which moved his undefeated record to 7-0-0 (2KO’s).
Said manager Frank Espinoza, “Jesus took a little time off after the Inzunza fight but we’re looking to stay much more active this year, hopefully fighting five or six times.
Sarabia (16-27-9, 10KO’s) is a much more experienced fighter who has gone the distance recently in battles with Yhonny Perez, Carlos Ivan Velasquez and Mikey Garcia. Jesus fully understands this will be a very tough test for him, but I think he’s prepared well.”
The Quiet Cannon is located at 901 N. Via San Clemente in Montebello .. Advance tickets can be obtained by calling 323-816-6200 or 323-781-4871.
