"Danny Lopez, 121 1/2, of Los Angeles, brought a battle of unbeaten featherweights to a sudden end Thursday night, clubbing Arturo Pineda, 124 3/4, of Mexicali, Mexico, to the canvas in the 4th round for his 11th straight knockout. Pineda, who had staggered his younger foe several times in the 2nd round, went down under a left hook at the end of the 4th, fell over on his side and was counted out. Lopez opened a cut over Pineda's left eye in the 3rd. But Pineda rallied and forced the pace until the abrupt end. It was his first loss against 13 victories." -Associated Press
