"A stunning right and a whirling left hook rendered Jose Luis Lopez flat on his back with referee Jack Campbell counting ten at 2:37 of the 5th round at the Circle Star Theater in San Carlos Wednesday night. It was Ray Lunny's 9th knockout. The fight was one of the most exciting Lunny's ever fought. He came out in the 1st round with a head-popping left jab which set the tempo through the first 2 1/2 rounds. Then, near the end of the 3rd stanza, Lopez slipped a jab and countered with a straight right which deposited the surprised Lunny on the seat of his pants. Lunny bounced up on his feet but still had to take the 8-count. Then ray came back with calculated accuracy to take the measure of Lopez. A straight right to the head of Lopez in the 4th round sent the Mexican reeling into the ropes with a cut forehead. Lunny came out even stronger in the 5th and was in complete command when he exploded the left hook off the countenance of the visitor." -San Mateo Times
