A barrage of punches by Alvaro "Yaqui" Lopez in the 7th round and the fight is over. I don't think that the great Thomas Hearns, even with that KO power, stops Yaqui

It would have been a brutal fight. Lopez was a very aggressive fighter. And to beat The Hitman, you must apply constant pressure. And at light-heavyweight, Lopez was very strong.

The Hitman by decision after out-boxing Lopez behind his long range jabs and right hands without engaging him on the inside.

X2. Tommy couldn't handle Yaqui at 175.
