Danny 'Little Red' Lopez ~ Career

[Bill Paxtom]

March 18, 1973

Following the 'all-out' War with Kenji 'Ace' Endo the night before on March 17, 1973.

Though Danny had impressive and one-punch power, he was a sucker for a right-hand.

Now, every opponent who was selected to face Danny, headed to the Gym and worked
on right-hands.

Manager - Howie Steindler was still putting Danny in with over-blown Mexican Bantamweights
and/or Super-Bantamweights from Japan.

Howie Steindler >
Danny is still rated as a Bantamweight, but we cannot make 118 lbs. We'll campaign at
122 lbs., and continue to progress.

Danny is only 20 1/2 years old, and is growing. He will be a solid 126 pounder by the end of
the year. Then, we'll go after the Featherweight Championship.

We'd be willing to fight one the Bantamweight Champion's in a 10-Round 'non-title' bout at
121 lbs., but nothing less than that in weight.

I believe we could draw $100,000 at the Olympic Auditorium for a 'non-title' gig. That would
be wild. Romeo Anaya vs. Danny Lopez, Wow !!
