Ricardo Lopez's Slip & Uppercut KO VS Ala Villamor: GIF Spotlight

The undefeated Hall of Fame Mexican legend Ricardo Lopez defended his title against Ala Villamor in March of 1996. This beauty of a move laid the Filipino challenger into Onepunchville. Incidentally, this same year, Lopez says it was informally discussed that instead of fighting this particular Filipino, he would fight a very young, very scrawny, other Filipino named Emmanuel Dapidran Pacquiao.

It was probably turned down over concerns about viably making the unlikely weight of an adult male (Minimumweight Division = 105 pounds maximum). It's an interesting thought, considering the connections you might make from Lopez to JMM. Lopez would retire a 108-pound light flyweight titlist in 2001 and Pacquiao now still fights at 147 pounds. He likely returns in April against a person.

Ala Villamore would not fight again, by the way.

Strawweights Do Starch: GIF Spotlight With Ricardo Lopez VS Rocky Lin

Very similar to the final sequence of Alexander Povetkin VS Carlos Takam in one of the top knockouts of 2014, here is Ricardo Lopez's KO combo on Taiwan's Rocky Lin, in Tokyo, Japan. The little men do destroy too. Lin was the regional Minimumweight/Strawweight champion of Japan. From round one, Finito kept finding the big left hook bombs and giving the impression that any one would end matters soon, and so it was. Ricardo Lopez KO2 Rocky Lin, the eleventh of October, 1992, while defending his Minimumweight Championship of the world. One of many, many times he would successfully defend that title. It was a vicious kayo, with Lin's head coming outside the ropes and off of the edge of the canvas.

Ricardo Lopez VS Myung-Sup Park, Wild Miss Or Setup? GIF Spotlight

Legendary undefeated Minimumweight and Light Flyweight champion Ricardo "Finito" Lopez, in a wild 1st round kayo on the Showtime Network. He is taking down title challenger and South Korean regional champion Myung-Sup Park, the seventh of December, 1996. Park was dazed and bloodied after the knockdown, a left hook to the jaw, following a seemingly wild, lead overhand right and a stepping on Park's left foot. He is allowed to continue, but much as the commentators said, I agree that Referee Chuck Hassett seemed to very quickly second-guess allowing Park back to action, and called it moments after he resumed. He was absorbing big shots from the first exchange and was as far out of his depth in one round as their records would indicate he would be. Park was 11-4, Lopez was 44-0. But Lopez handled the show excitingly and never opened the door to a bizarre upset. He just put on as much of a show as Park could take.
