Alfonso Lopez def. Quinton Smith, TKO: Lopez, a native of Corpus Christi, Tex. boosted his record to 15-0 with an impressive win over Smith.

Lopez, who has the nickname El Tigre, was the No. 2 ranked amateur in the state of Texas when he stepped into the professional ranks in March, 2007, for the Cut ’n Shoot Gym in the Texas town of Cut and Shoot.

Fighting only his third pro match outside the state of Texas, Lopez didn’t waste any time showing his dominance after a first round when both boxers were agressive, but also getting a feel for what their opponent had to offer. Lopez knocked down Sales for the eight count in the second round, then finished with a TKO at the 2:14 mark of the second round.

“We’re proud of how Anfonso takes care of himself,” said John Harris, who worked the corner for Lopez. “He watches what he eats. His wife (Gina) is a nutritonist.”

While Lopez was pleased with his victory last Friday, he is looking forward to next Friday even more. His wife is expecting a baby boy.

Lopez, like many of the other boxers, have the same goal.

“A world’s championship,” said Lopez. “But I know that that’s a long way to go. I just have to take it fight by fight. I have to stay ready for each time I go in the ring.”

Smith, who is from Memphis, falls to 2-5 but it was only his second fight since posting wins in recent fights in Atlanta (2003) and Greensboro, N.C. (2004).

Texas Super Middleweight Title VIDEO: 3rd round TKO!

Report from Dog House Boxing

By Vikram Birring at ringside (Jan 18, 2009) DoghouseBoxing.com

Aside from Hill, Alfonso Lopez may be the brightest prospect in the Houston area. He has it all: fluid boxing technique, excellent defense, conditioning, and most importantly, a willingness to learn, which shows as he shows improvement in every bout.

His match against James Johnson of Louisiana was announced as a title match. The trinket on the line? Something called the NABC championship, surely a belt that was found in a cereal box.

If Johnson 23-32 (18) is a champion, then the situation of the world must be examined. How bad is he? Against Lopez 11-0 (9), there were periods where he didn’t throw punches for minutes. The one punch that he ever threw was the counter left hook, but it was so wide and off the mark his entire body would go off balance after releasing it. Johnson himself knew this, and beginning in the third round, did his best John Ruiz impersonation, as he began to hold constantly, as if the sweat that rolled off Lopez’s body would give him magic powers. In one instance, he went so far as to attempt to throw a knee at Lopez.

That turned Lopez off, and he began to toy with Johnson. It was like watching Muhammad Ali against Floyd Patterson. Lopez stood in front of him, hands down, and pounded him with jabs. He stayed at a distance where Johnson had no chance of hitting him back. Finally, in the fifth round, Lopez closed the show. He trapped Johnson against the ropes and hit him with a countless array of punches, sending Johnson’s body through the second and third ropes. The referee wisely called a halt to the bout twenty-one seconds into the round.
