Acosta scores another knockout to retain his title

Angel Acosta KO8 Ganigan Lopez ... Puerto Rico's Angel "Tito" Acosta retained his WBO light flyweight title by knocking out Mexico's Ganigan Lopez in the eighth round in Indio, California. Acosta (20-1 with 20 KOs) has extraordinary power for a 108-pounder, and he showed it tonight when he ducked his head and landed a wild left during an exchange in round eight. Lopez, a former WBC title holder, staggered back from the left, and tried to clinch with Acosta, but Acosta landed a few body punches and Lopez hit the deck, where he took a ten count on his knees. The 37 year-old Lopez falls to 35-9. source: dazn
