Juan Manuel Lopez kept his undefeated record and took Daniel Ponce De Leon's WBO Junior Featherweight Title. Ponce De Leon looked very strong coming into the fight and started well. However one hard left hook and an even harder right hook on the inside from Lopez floored Ponce De Leon. It was very obvious Ponce De Leon's legs were not his friends as he got back to his feet. When the action continued, Lopez was all over Ponce De Leon until he floored him again. This time when Ponce De Leon got up, his legs were totally gone. He stumbled backwards and referee Michael Ortega stopped the fight at 2:25 of the first round. For Lopez, this win has propelled him into a star in the smaller weights. Now he wants to fight the bigger name fighters in the 122lb weight class such as Rafael Marquez and the WBC Champion Israel Vasquez.
