DiBella Entertainment (DBE) has signed undefeated Mexican American junior lightweight prospect Misael Lopez (11-0, 5 KOs) to an exclusive promotional agreement. “I first saw Misael fight on one of my ShoBox undercards and was very impressed with how he handled the pressure as the underdog to come out victorious,” said Lou DiBella, President of DiBella Entertainment. “I am friendly with his managers, Jerry Casarez and world champion Jamel Herring, who came to me with this opportunity, and I am happy to work with them and Lyle Green. Lopez is a great young talent with a bright future...and he’s willing to accept real fights to prove it.”

James Wilkins was a star of Showtime’s documentary on the New York Golden Gloves, “Cradle of Champions,” which premiered Friday night. It was Misael Lopez, Wilkins’ opponent, who became the star of their show later Friday night. Lopez out-worked Wilkins, mostly took Wilkins’ hardest shots well and defeated the previously unbeaten super featherweight prospect. Denver’s Lopez (9-0, 4 KOs) won an eight-round unanimous decision over Staten Island’s Wilkins (5-1, 5 KOs) in the first of four “ShoBox” bouts Showtime televised from Firelake Arena in Shawnee, Oklahoma.
