In an eight round televised Telefutura main event all-Mexican featherweight war between two experienced veterans, Noe 'Chamaco' Lopez Jr. , a southpaw, and Adolfo 'Terror' Landeros, in the orthodox stance, fought an even first, displaying ring experience by jockeying for foot position. In a classic case of 'who sets the tempo and gets off first', Lopez dropped Landeros midway through the second with a short but powerful straight right hand, the major turning point in a close bout. Landeros, sitting on ther seat of his pants, banged his gloves on the canvas in frustration. Lopez outjabbed Labnderos with right-left combinations the rest of the way, frequently backing him up and forcing Landeros into a lower more defensive posture due to the volume of punches coming in. Both fighters appeared in excellent condition. The surprise was the Lopez at 5-5 had never gone past six, while 20-14-1 Landeros had gone past the sixth round 20 times. So the outcome was a minor upset. The bout was an excellent and even match up for the Telefutura main event. Landeros appeared highly competitive as a counter puncher, just that Lopez landed more and was more effective and aggressive of the two boxers from the point of the knockdown onward. The bout was far closer than scoring indicated.
