December 10th, 1994. "El César del Boxeo" Julio César Chávez made the 2nd defense of his WBC World Light Welterweight Championship against Tony “The Tiger” Lopez.

Prefight records; Chávez 91(73)-1-1, Lopez 45(32)-4-1.

Going into the fight, the 11 year veteran Lopez who was world champion in 2 weight divisions; Super Featherweight & Lightweight had a number of victories over top oppositions such as Dingaan Thobela, Greg Haugen, Joey Gamache, Jorge Paez, Lupe Gutierrez, Tyrone Jackson, John John Molina (2x) & Rocky Lockridge (2x).

On the other hand, the 13 year veteran Chávez entered the bout as world champion in 3 weight classes; Super Featherweight, Lightweight & Light Welterweight with notable victories against the likes of Alberto de las Mercedes Cortes, Andy Hooligan, Angel Hernandez, Edwin Rosario, Frankie Mitchell, Frankie Randall, Greg Haugen, Hector Camacho, Jose Luis Ramirez, Juan Laporte, Lonnie Smith, Mario Martinez, Marty Jakubowski, Meldrick Taylor, Nicky Perez, Rafael Limon, Rocky Lockridge, Rodolfo Aguilar, Ruben Castillo, Sammy Fuentes & Roger Mayweather (2x).

Overall, it was an action filled battle from 2 hard hitters who showed grit, skills and unyielding will to win with Lopez being the aggressor for the most part but Chávez was more effective upstairs and downstairs.

At the end of round 2, Tony was cut above his left eye courtesy of a right hand just after the bell.

Initially, his corner was able to control the cut from worsening but as the rounds went by not only did it worsen but further damage was dealt to both his eyes courtesy of Julio’s relentless assaults.

By the end of round 9, both of Lopez’s eyes were swollen and a new cut was open around his left eye in addition to the deteriorating condition of his right eye.

Around the midpoint of round 10, The Tiger’s roar was finally tamed after referee Luis Carlos Guzman called timeout for an inspection by the ringside physician who determined that the challenger was in no position to continue.

With the stoppage, Julio César Chávez captured the 92nd win as well as the 74th knockout of his legendary career.

However, Tony Lopez deserved tremendous respect for his unbelievable display of courage against one of the Greatest Fighters of All Time and arguably the Greatest Mexican Fighter of All Time.
