To think that I was Ringisde for this event gives me chills. I'll never forget it.
You also gotta add that 'El Maestrito' Lopez was on the card tho way past his best I saw glimps of how talented he once was.
I'll always say that he was the man back in the days, he could have beaten ODLH, Tito & some people like myself think he beat Quartey.
Sadly problems in and out of the ring derailed and his career but wow! was he something special then.

Always wondered about Lopez. Saw him beat Eamon Loughran with ease and thought he was good when he beat Campus. Although I thought he did loose to Ike he was very good fighter.

Was the Judgement Night on Sky on ppv or was it on their normal channel?

Saturday 7 May 1994
MGM Grand, Las Vegas, Nevada

Terry Norris-Simon Brown 2
Julio Cesar Chavez-Frankie Randall 2
Azumah Nelson-Jesse James Leija 2
Gerald McClellan-Julian Jackson 2
Ricardo Lopez-Kermin Guardia
Meldrick Taylor-Chad Broussard
Calvin Grove-Angel Aldama
Christy Martin-Laura Serrano

This was my choice as well, even though the JCC decision was one of the worst things I've seen in boxing. Was a great night of action though.

He was really talented man and fought well with both hands moved well in the ring had power in both hands and he just was a pretty damn complete package.
Thanks for your input.

I agree Lopez was very talented. One of boxings biggest underachievers. But I don't agree with you on him beating Quartey. Except for the 2 knock down rounds I taught Quartey beat him pretty easily. His jab controlled the whole fight.

I agree on the underachieving defintely.
About the fight well it could be that I'm being a bit biased there and get all excited when he drops him, I guess I can re-watch the fight again without biased scoring...

Lopez was very good fighter and tough as nails i don't think he was ever stopped in his career i see couple of his fights really liked what i see i thought Quartey done enough to win the fight with Lopez but im suprised he didn't do more in his career getting a draw with Quartey you would expect he would of done more definetly undereachiever last big stage i see him on was when he lost to James Page what happened to him ??

Trouble in and out of the ring, with family/wife would come in out of shape due to that and just slowly but surely slipped off the rankings.
He always hurt his opponents and when he was at his best he finished them off. IMO his best performace came against Herrera in the rematch when he beat him literally beat him for 12 rounds. More known performace would have to be stopping Loughran in 1 rd.

Lopez floored Page twice and look like he was close to finishing him off. But Page recovered and went on to out work Lopez. Page was a welterweight who could punch. And he hit Lopez flush many times. But Lopez chin was rock like
