The IBF world lightweight champion (up to 57.2 kg), Mexican Luis Alberto Lopez (30-3, 17 KOs), sensationally lost by a harsh knockout to former US champion Angelo Leo (25-1, 12 KOs). The 12-round fight at the Tingley Coliseum in Albuquerque (USA) ended early.
From the first minutes, Lopez captured the center of the ring. The champion moved a lot, worked as the first number and tried to block his opponent near the ropes, working on the body. Being carried away by energy-consuming attacks, the Mexican did not calculate his strength, gradually missing more and more heavy blows from his opponent.
