It was a short night for lightweight prospect Floyd Schofield on December 2 as the 21-year-old dropped Ricardo Lopez four times leading to a one-sided first-round stoppage.
Given that Schofield (16-0, 12 KOs) has now fought four ten-round fights, it seems he wants a big name. That name could be 31-year-old, Joseph Diaz Jr. (33-4-1, 15 KOs), the 2012 U.S. Olympian who has had a turbulent …
