- Date: 1959-02-07
- Location: Legion Stadium, Hollywood, California, USA
- Referee: Lee Grossman
Before a capacity crowd Lopez "shocked" the crowd by stopping Monroe in only two rounds. Monroe got off to an excellent start, utilizing his superior height and reach and employing the long left jab for which he was noted. Near the end of the round, however, Toluco stepped in and nailed Monroe with a hard right and visibly shook him. In round two, Lopez came out quickly and dropped a still dazed Monroe three times before the referee stopped the fight.
