Early Life
Raised without a father, Sergio lived in an East Los Angeles apartment downstairs from the apartment where his mother lived. His boxing will, he hopes, lift him and his family to a better standard of living. Sergio is a class of 1997 alumni of Schurr High School in Montebello, California. Shortly after his Contender victory, he was invited to appear onstage at Schurr's June 2005 Renaissance Rally. His nickname refers to his Hispanic origins and his fast hand speed (speed with which he punches). Dean Campos is the young trainer behind Sergio's unorthodox style of fighting.

“We quaff the cup of life with eager haste without draining it, instead of which it only overflows the brim—objects press around us, filling the mind with their magnitude and with the throng of desires that wait upon them, so that we have no room for the thoughts of death.”
