Joet Gonzalez comes up short on his quest for a world title against Luis Lopez




Joet Gonzalez had his third shot at a world title last Friday, August 15th, in Corpus Christi, challenging Luis Lopez, who was defending his IBF World Featherweight belt.  Gonzalez came out swinging from the opening round, fought a tough and aggressive fight, but came up short on the scorecards. In the end, Lopez retained his belt by unanimous decision (112-116, 110,118, 111, 117), a decision that may seem a little wide given Gonzalez’s overall performance. Gonzalez never went down, nor looked like he was ever in serious trouble, as he sought to press Lopez throughout the fight showing his determination to take the win. Joet's record now stands at 26 wins, 4 losses, and 0 draws. Luis advanced to 29 wins, 2 losses, and 0 draws. Understandably, Gonzalez expressed his disappointment.
