"In the other co-main event, Alvaro 'Indian Yaqui' Lopez, Stockton, took a 6th round TKO over Ronnie Wilson, Burnaby, B.C. The fight was stopped between the 5th and 6th round because Wilson's left eye had swollen closed. Wilson explained he thought the eye had started to swell because of a head butt in the 1st round, but Jack Cruz, Lopez' manager, said a short right by Lopez in the 1st round started the swelling." -Reno Evening Gazette
