~ The Lopez Brothers Return To Orem, Utah ~
Ernie 'Indian Red' Lopez and younger brother Danny 'Little Red' Lopez retuned
back home to Orem, Utah where their boxing career's started.
Stan Chynoweth who runs 'Stan's Boxing Club', was the key factor in getting the
Lopez Brothers started in boxing, as Amateurs.
Danny was Stan's protégé, and he helped develop the awesome power that 'Little Red'
is famous for.

Without Stan, I would have never reached the level of where I am today. He got me to
the Top of the Amateur Bantamweights in 1970 and 1971.
It was Stan who encouraged me to turn Pro, and to go to California. I wanted to stay
in Utah, but there was not any good sparring for me there. Stan pointed me West, and said
go to the Main Street Gym in Los Angeles.
I'm out here to relax and regroup, as I have lost '3' of my last '4-bouts'. I figured it was best
to go back to Utah, and visit with my family and friends. I want to forget about Boxing for
a few weeks, and clear the cob-webs.
