:''Paolo and Lopes had met four years before in New York with Paolo winning a unanimous decision. This time they fought to a bloody draw in a sizzling fight. Referee Pete Morelli called the fight 96-96; Judge Mario Deccini called it 97-93 for Paolo; Judge Fred Battaro had it 97-96 for Lopes. The United Press International scored it 97-94 for Paolo. Lopes scored the only knockdown when he and Paolo scored simultaneous left jabs in the 2nd round and Paolo went down on the seat of his pants. He bounced up immediately, but had to take the mandatory eight count. Paolo was bleeding slightly from both brows at the end of the fight. Lopes was bleeding from cuts around his left eye and mouth. Consequently, the draw caused Paolo to drop from 6th to 8th in [[The Ring Magazine|''The Ring'']] world ratings.'' [http://www.ibroresearch.com/?p=6155]
