The original film shows 8 rounds of the bout I believe.

The fight was never shown on TV in the US, and the film here looks to be from a hand held camera.

There was supposedly something like 100,000 people filling the stadium. Lopez used to quip that you could hear his family cheering for him - the only 3 or 4 people in the whole stadium rooting for him. Funny enough, in that video you can hear his family.


This was the rematch incidentally:

These fights were essentially Lopez's defining moments. Kotey looked to be a pretty good fighter at this time. After two losses to Lopez, he pretty much disappeared.
