Adam Lopez came forward all fight and never stopped throwing punches Friday night, but it wasn’t quite enough to defeat Glenn Dezurn Jr.

Lopez settled for a draw in their eight-round, super bantamweight bout in Miami, Oklahoma. San Antonio’s Lopez (16-1-2, 8 KOs) and Baltimore’s Dezurn (9-0-1, 6 KOs) squared off in the second of four fights Showtime televised as part of a “ShoBox: The New Generation” broadcast from Buffalo Run Casino.

Judge Brett Miller scored their highly competitive fight 77-75 for Lopez. Judge Jerry Griffin had it 77-75 for Dezurn. A third judge, Gerald Ritter, scored the bout even (76-76).

According to unofficial Showtime punch stats, Dezurn landed 157-of-494 overall punches, only nine more than Lopez (148-of-449). Dezurn had the advantage in power punches (145-of-408 to 131-of-378), but Lopez landed more jabs (17-of-71 to 12-of-86).

Dezurn, who was wearing down during the sixth round, appeared to come back in the seventh and eighth rounds to earn the draw. A rejuvenated Dezurn had some success with short shots inside and body punches in the seventh round.

Lopez landed his right uppercut multiple times and several body punches in the sixth round. Dezur rallied off the ropes late in the sixth and landed a combination up top, yet appeared to start tiring in those three minutes.

Lopez kept pressuring Dezurn in the fifth round and trapped him in a corner toward the end of the round.

Dezurn and Lopez traded power punches from close distances throughout the third and fourth rounds. Though each fighter landed his fair share of shots to the head, neither fighter seemed hurt by anything that landed.

Referee Gary Ritter warned Lopez for a low blow early in the second round.

Lopez lost for the first time as a pro in his previous bout. Daniel Roman (22-2-1, 8 KOs), of Garden Grove, California, dropped Lopez twice in the fourth round and won by technical knockout after nine rounds January 20 in Atlantic City.

In the opener of this four-fight “ShoBox” telecast, Joshua Greer Jr. stopped Leroy Davila after five rounds in a bantamweight bout scheduled for eight.

Greer, the bigger puncher and the aggressor throughout the bout, hurt Davila with a straight right hand around the midway point of the fourth round. Davila spent the second half of that round holding Greer and trying to stay away from his power.

Greer also landed a right hand that buzzed Davila with around 15 seconds to go in the fifth round. By then, Davila, a southpaw who boxed well in the second and third rounds, was wearing down and was bleeding from his nose.

Davila decided not to continue following the fifth round.

Chicago’s Greer improved to 14-1-1 and recorded his sixth knockout. Davila, of New Brunswick, New Jersey, lost a second straight fight and dropped to 5-2 (3 KOs).

Dezurn dealt Davila his first professional defeat, a unanimous-decision loss in an eight-rounder April 14 in Oxon Hill, Maryland.
