    Seems a great scrap, good quality footage and good skills. BHOF has been on a roll lately. Can anyone educate me on these two Lightweight boxers? Clip is around 3 minutes - hopefully they release the full bout.

    No love for these 'new' clips of an absolute war?

    I agree, would love to see it in its entirety. Good highlights though.

    I like the way Lopes used that lead right as a cover to get close to land his hook. Look up his record, he fought a lot of tough guys and has a win over Sandy Saddler.

    I actually just watched this clip the other day when I was researching Zulueta. I was planning on buying the Zulueta collection which just came out so I could see the fight in its entirety.

    I'll buy the dvd soon and I'll try to post the full fight. I'm one of the biggest advocates ever for full fight film.

    AJ Liebling wrote about Zulueta vs. Johnny Gonsalves in “The Sweet Science.” I recognized the name and looked it up.

    If you’ve never read Liebling on boxing, you’re missing something very special.
