Danny Lopez has had a 'special' mouthpiece made. As he had lost one of his front teeth
in his last bout with Cesar Ordonez, after taking a 'jarring' right to the mouth, with a loose fitting guard.

Juan Ordonez from Mexico City {no relation to Danny's last opponent Cesar Ordonez} is
ranked as Mexico's #5 Bantamweight.

Ordonez is a 'brick-layer' in Mexico City, and carries power in both fists, especially the right-hand.

Danny Lopez is listed as a {2-1} Betting-Favorite.

Danny Lopez >
"They rank me as a Bantamweight. But I'm really a 122 lb. Featherweight."

"I don't know a lot about Jose, but I have seen him here at the Main Street Gym. He has a good
right-hand, and looks like he comes to fight. Here we go again."

Jose Ordonez >
"They made a big mistake in taking me as an opponent. I have a hard right-hand that I have been
improving on in the Gym over the last 6-Months. Danny Lopez eats right-hands all night long. He
will fall within 3-Rounds."
