Former WBC super flyweight champion Ganigan “El Maravilla” Lopez (37-11, 19 KOs) was victorious against previously undefeated Jose Soto (15-1, 6 KOs) on Friday night at the Deportivo Ocenia in Mexico City to claim the vacant WBA Fedecentro title. 39-year-old local hero Lopez suffered a bloody gash inside his hairline from a head clash in round four. Another head clash in round five left Lopez with a vertical cut over his left eye. The bout was then stopped and Soto was disqualified. The headbutts didn’t seem intentional and Soto was winning the fight. Curious ending.

  • The referee of this fight is a real Mexican patriot. Hanogan was losing the fight badly and the headbutts were clearly accidental. Still, 4 rounds rounds had passed. It should had gone to the score cards.Ganigan Lopez did not win a single round. Ganigan needs to take the referee to a very nice Restaurant.
