Both boxers came out with their jabs in the first round. Lopez had a slight edge, but neither did too much as they were feeling each other out. As they were trading big hooks, Lopez dropped Commey down very hard.  Commey got up on very unsteady legs, he was allowed to continue - but then battered with punches against the ropes until the referee waved it off.
