"Top light heavyweight contender Yaqui Lopez, moving fast and working his opponent close to the ropes, dominated an inexperienced Bash Ali, Oakland, to grab the 10 round main event at the Circle Star Theatre Thursday night. Lopez, out of Stockton, kept the pressure up throughout the bout, nearly dumping Ali in the 5th and 6th rounds when Lopez had him hanging on the ropes." -Associated Press
