November 1974

Danny Lopez was 'out-of-action', to allow his bad gash {right eye-brow} to heal.

The Olympic Auditorium Promoter - Aileen Eaton was trying to get WBC Champion - Bobby Chacon
and to defend his title on December 14th, and against Danny Lopez conqueror - Shig Fukuyama.

Aileen Eaton {Fight Promoter} >
I would like Bobby to make his 1st Title Defense right here. I think that the match-up with
Shig Fukuyama would make for a wonderful boxing event.

My plan, would be for the winner of the Championship bout to defend against fan favorite
Danny 'Little Red' Lopez in March of 1975.

Danny should come back in January 1975, and I'm sure we could get him a safe opponent to get
him back in the win column.

Howie Steindller {Manager for Danny Lopez} >
We will be back. I want Danny to take the rest of the year off. We'll get back on track after
the 1st of the year in 1975.

2 or 3 good wins, and we're right back on the door step of getting a World Championship bout.
