"Manny Gonzalez was a one-sided TKO loser to young veteran Ernie (Indian Red) Lopez in the High Sierra Theater of the Sahara Tahoe Hotel here Thursday night. Lopez, who is rated No. 5 in the most recent Ring magazine welterweight ratings, won every round. Gonzalez, the cagey Odessa, Texas native, was unable to answer the bell for the 6th round of a scheduled 10-rounder." -Nevada State Journal
