~ Bobby Chacon Wants To End Lopez' Win Streak ~

Bobby Chacon has been listed as a 'slight-favorite' over Danny Lopez for their bout
on Friday Night ~ May 25th.

The consensus is, that Bobby has fought the better competition, and has better overall
skills.

Though Danny Lopez may be regarded as the harder puncher, he has a weakness in
defense, as he is susceptible to right-hands to the chin.

Bobby Chacon >
Danny has always had gotten more publicity than me. But after Friday Night, I will be
in the Newspapers as the one standing over him.

~ Featherweight Wants Knockout ~

Danny 'Little Red' Lopez wants Knockout.

Danny Lopez >
I want a Knockout. I don't want to have any questions about who the better fighter is.

I wanted this bout last year, but my Manager - Howie Steindler said that I was too light.
But now I'm ready. I've put in 100-Rounds of sparring over the last 4-Weeks.

I'm at 123 lbs. right now, I and plan to get into the Ring about 1-Pound heavier. I here
that Bobby has had trouble with his weight, and that he's walking around at 133 lbs.

If he has to sweat it off the day before the bout, he'll have little strength left.
