Re: Danny 'Little Red' Lopez ~ Career
~ Undefeated 'Little Red' KO's Carrasco In First Round ~
Danny Lopez scored his 16th Straight win, with all his wins coming by way of Kayo, as he starched
Mexican - Jorge Carrasco at {2:13} of the 1st Round.
But, it wasn't as easy as it appeared, as 'Little Red' had to withstand a wave of heavy-blows from the
visiting Mexican, before putting Carrasco down.
Carrasco came out blazing, and shook Lopez immediately with a solid 'left-right' to the head. Then both
fighters went toe-to-toe trading punches for the next 2-Minutes. Carrasco caught Lopez with several
good right-hands to the face, and opened up a cut on the left-side of his nose.
Just as it looked like the Mexican was getting the better of the exchanges, Lopez came in with a tremendous
straight-right to the head, and left-hook to the jaw.
Carrasco crashed to the canvas on his back where he was counted out by Referee - Rudy Jordan at {2:13}
of the 1st-Round.
Jorge Carrasco was on his back for 2-Minutes, before he could be lifted up.

for the short time that it lasted.
Jorge Carrasco was getting better of the exchanges, before he was put away by the lethal
power of 'Little Red'.

It's amazing to think you could probably do a story similar to this one from every major city in the U.S., over and over again.
Bill, you are going to have to start working harder because I've become addicted to your work. Let me think, what can we do to get your output up? I mean besides paying you. Lol

'Little Red' is posted as a {2-1} Betting-Favorite.
Howie Steindler {Manager} >
"We have been promised the winner of the WBC Featherweight Championship bout between

Re: Danny 'Little Red' Lopez ~ Career
~ 'Little Red' Scores 1st-Round KO ~
Danny Lopez utilizing a 4" height advantage, used his long arms to keep Mexican - Goyo Vargas at bay, before
delivering a Knockout blow at the end of the 1st-Round.
'Little Red' came out using long left-jabs to measure his under-sized opponent, forcing Vargas to stay outside
on the perimeter. Lopez who was bigger and stronger than Vargas, used pressure to force the Mexican to
back away.
The 'stockily-built' Mexican was unable to get inside and close, to use his body-attack, as he was wary of
Lopez' lethal power.
Late in the Round, Lopez stepped in quickly, and delivered a 'flurry' which sent Vargas back on his
heels. Vargas then quickly back-pedaled to the back right-corner.
Lopez then moved in, and fired in a 'jolting' left-right to the head that stunned Vargas. With a 'stunned'
opponent in front of him, Lopez delivered a 'crushing' left-hook to the jaw flooring Vargas, dropping him
on his back.
Referee - Larry Rozadilla counted out Goyo Vargas at {2:59} of Round 1.

No battle between friends at my house. My mother was a Bobby Chacon fan while I was a precocious, trash talking 9 year old Little Red fanatic. I could not even consider the possibility that he was not the greatest fighter ever.
