Lopez passes test
After 12 rugged rounds WBA lightweight champion Tony Lopez had retained his title by a close but unanimous decision against unheralded Dingaan Thobela in Sacramento, California.
Thobela, gallant as he was, may have to wait quite a while for another chance as Lopez seems likely to defend in a rematch vs. Gamache next.
