    ~ After Bout Comments ~

    Ruben Olivares >
    He {Danny Lopez} was very strong. He's awkward, but strong as Hell. I hit him with many
    hard punches, and he just kept coming.

    Should I retire. Why. I fought a very good fight against one of the best Featherweights in the
    World. I can fight again in 2-Months if I want to. I'm not hurt or beat up. A little bruised yes,
    but not beat up.
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Arturo 'Cuyo' Hernandez {Manager for Ruben Olivares} >
    This would be a good time for Ruben to retire. He's had nearly 90-Bouts in the Ring, and
    he's accomplished many things. He's a 4-Time World Champion.

    I see no reason why Ruben should continue. He has to struggle hard just to get down to 128 lbs.,
    and he can't make Featherweight anymore. He's nearly {Age; 29}, and it would be a long road
    to get a Championship Bout now, even at 130 lbs. {Super Featherweight}.
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Danny Lopez >
    Ruben shook me up a few times. But I was determined, and kept pushing forward. I knew that
    I would either wear him down, or catch him with the right-hand.

    I could see Ruben and me fighting again. After I win the Featherweight Title, I will give him
    a chance at the Title, if he's still fighting next year.
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Howie Steindler {Manager for Danny Lopez} >
    We are trying to line up WBC Champion - David Kotey. But his Manager says that he has '2'
    Title Defenses lined up for early-1976.

    We are looking for a WBC Championship Bout in the Summer of 1976.

    And, I'm not sure that WBA Champion - Alexis Arguello can make 126 lbs. anymore. And,
    his Manager has said that he won't fight us here in Los Angeles.

    ~ Ruben Olivares Wants Comeback Bout ~

    Former 2-Time Bantamweight and 2-Time Featherweight Champion - Ruben Olivares wants
    a comeback bout, before facing Danny 'Little Red' Lopez again.

    Olivares who was floored '4-Times, and stopped {KO'd} in Round 7 on Thursday Night, wants
    a 'tune-up' bout in February 1976, before signing a contract to face Lopez in a rematch for
    sometime in the Spring of next year.

    Ruben Olivares >
    I'll take 60-Days off, and get back 'on the-wagon'. No more Beer for me. I want a comeback
    bout in late-February {75-Days} to see where I'm at. Then I'll make a decision to either fight
    Danny again, or go up to the 130 lb. Super-Featherweight Division.

    January 11, 1976

    ~ Don Fraser Signs Up Danny Lopez To Face Teenager- Sean O'Grady ~

    The battle is set for February 25, 1976 at The Forum in Inglewood.

    Danny Lopez with a record of 28-3-0 {27 KO's} risks his World Rating and a chance for
    a World Championship by taking on the undefeated O'Grady.

    'Little Red' {Age; 23 years, 7 months} has been listed as a {10-7} Favorite to put a
    blemish on O'Grady's undefeated record.

    Lopez is ranked as the #4 WBA and #7 WBC Featherweight.

    Howie Steindler >
    We figure that this kid {Sean O"Grady} will give Danny some trouble for 3 or 4 Rounds. He's
    a very good boxer, has good speed, and hits fairly well for a teenager.

    But Danny's strength and punching-power will start to take over by the 4th Round. I expect
    Danny to put the kid away somewhere between the 5th and 7th Rounds.
