JOSESITO LOPEZ BELONGS!

JOSESITO LOPEZ BELONGS!

Riverside, CA  – The question asked before his fight last Friday on ESPN2 “Friday Night Fights” was whether or not Riverside’s own Josesito Lopez (27-3, 15 KOs) belonged with the current crop of jr. welterweight world contenders?

Dan Goossen, co-promoter of Lopez, along with Thompson Boxing, said it best:  “Josesito stole the show Friday and earned his right to be considered with the other world contenders.  He belongs!”

The WBC #8 rated super lightweight (140 lbs), Lopez defeated his once beaten opponent Marvin Cordova, Jr. in a hard fought eight round unanimous decision.

“It was a tough fight and throughout each round I felt confident in my skills both offensively and defensively,” said Lopez.  “I believe if it was scheduled for 10, I would have stopped him.”

ARREOLA-QUEZADA CONFERENCE CALL TRANSCRIPT

ARREOLA-QUEZADA CONFERENCE CALL TRANSCRIPT

Dan Goossen:  I want to welcome everybody on.  I know it’s early out here on the West Coast, where this fight is going to be emanating from.  You know, HBO’s loss is ESPN’s gain, because 10, 15 years ago, this would have been right up HBO’s and Showtime’s ally to have two hungry heavyweights trying to re-establish themselves into the – the world championship picture and – and to also make history.

I believe this is a history-making fight.  And we’ve got the head of ESPN on, and I’m going to ask him to do a little research, if he already hasn’t, which I’m sure he has, but I’m sure in a lot of ways this could be a history-making fight on its own, because I don’t believe there’s ever been two heavyweights at this level or any level, quite frankly, of Mexican descent that have fought one another.
