	The fight resumed and the cut worsened. When the round ended, the Lopez corner headed by [[Ignacio Beristain\|Nacho Berastein]] [sic], opted to not work on the cut. Berastein was confidant Lopez was ahead and he prodded the ringside physician to stop the fight, which he did.		The fight resumed and the cut worsened. When the round ended, the Lopez corner headed by [[Ignacio Beristain\|Nacho Berastein]] [sic], opted to not work on the cut. Berastein was confidant Lopez was ahead and he prodded the ringside physician to stop the fight, which he did.

	~~It then took an estimated 15 minutes to tally the scorecards of the three judges! Fifteen minutes to add up the scores, while the fight itself lasted only 21 minutes!~~

	When the scores were announced, Tommy Kazmarek of New Jersey had Lopez ahead 67-64, while another judge favored Alvarez 68-63. The third judge was Las Vegan [[Dalby Shirley]] who ruled the bout 66-66, a draw.

The third judge was Las Vegan [[Dalby Shirley]] who ruled the bout 66-66, a draw.

	I felt Alvarez was not only in control, but that he was getting his second wind. All this spelled disaster for Lopez, who is now 46-0-1, 35 KO's, and his corner knew it. Maybe Ricardo can never beat Alvarez, but at least in the eyes of the WBC their "butt" rule saved his bacon.

	The "WBC butt" rule deducting a point from the uncut fighter when an accidental butt occurs, deprived Rosendo Alvarez of a victory much like it cost [[Frankie Randall]] the WBC 140 lb. diadem when he rematched [[Julio Cesar Chavez]] a few years ago.

	~~WBC President [[Jose Sulaiman]] has defended that rule time and again. He says the fighter who is cut is at an extreme disadvantage. Yeah Jose, but only if the fight continues.~~

	Although I think the WBC has made incredible headway in the safety of the fighters. But what occurred last night was nothing short of another travesty in boxing. [http://www.cyberboxingzone.com/boxing/ppvw3798.htm]

-*Lopez relinquished his [[WBO]] title before the weigh-in ceremony at the Hotel del Prado in Mexico City.
+*This was the second title unification fight in the history of the 105-pound division. The first took place on August 23, 1997, when Lopez knocked out [[Alex Sanchez]] in five rounds to unify the WBC and [[WBO]] titles. After he defeated Sanchez, Lopez said he wanted to give his WBO championship belt to his father. The statement prompted the WBO to take away Lopez's title and sanction a match between [[Eric Jamili]] and [[Mickey Cantwell]] to fill the vacancy. "It was enough for us," said the WBO president, Francisco Valcarcel, of Lopez's intention. "That's a public resignation." Dwight Manley, Lopez's agent, said Lopez should have had a hearing before the WBO took away his title. "He got no letter, he got no telephone call," Manley said. [http://www.nytimes.com/1997/12/20/sports/plus-boxing-jamili-takes-strawweight-title.html]
-*WBO supervisor Ricardo Rizo presents an official complaint and discusses in a very strong way with WBC President [[Jose Sulaiman]], who is believed to force Lòpez go up to the ring with the WBC belt only.
+*[[Michael Katz]] of the ''New York Daily News'' said Alvarez "seemed to be robbed" and called Lopez "overrated." [http://www.nydailynews.com/archives/sports/pernell-burns-cool-article-1.796051]
-*Lopez was knocked down for the first time in his career in the second round.
+*The draw against Alvarez was the only blemish on the record of Lopez, who retired in 2001 with a record of 51-0-1.
-*The fight was stopped due to a large gash over Lopez's right eye caused by an accidental headbutt.
-*Even though accidental, [[WBC]] rules dictated that Alvarez be penalized one point because of the cut.
-*This was considered at the time as Lopez's toughest bout in his then eight-year title reign.
