"Danny (Little Red) Lopez entered the ring at Anaheim Convention Center as the 10th ranking featherweight contender but couldn't cope with Octavio (Famoso) Gomez, his free-swinging foe from Mexico City who outhit him by about 5-1. There were no knockdowns and as it progressed it became apparent that Lopez' big punch was his only hope of pulling out a win. Gomez stunned Lopez with a roundhouse right to the temple in the 2nd round, then opened a cut on the inside of Danny's right eyebrow with a series of long-range lefts. Trainer Teddy Bentham patched up the damage but Lopez continued to fight ineffectively against Gomez' relentless barrage." -Long Beach Press-Telegram
