"This has been the best year as a pro. I got the two big wins on ShoBox and have picked up regional titles that should have me ranked in the organizations. I wish it would have happened sooner, but better late than never!"

I am hoping for bigger opportunities. I am looking to headline a ShoBox card in February. By the end of 2016, I see myself as a top contender, if not a world champion, but first I am looking to close out the year by looking impressive in front of all my family and friends in San Antonio and have a great celebration for my birthday." Said Lopez'promoter Vito Mielnicki of GH3 Promotions, "This has been a great year for Adam. He had two breakthrough performances in different ways. He scored the big knockout over Cruz and then he showed a lot of heart and different aspects of his game in the win over Aquino.
