David Alonso López (November 24, 1977 – July 6, 2017) was a Mexican professional boxer who went by the nickname of The Destroyer. He held the IBA Middleweight title.

Professional career

[edit]

On August 28, 2010 López beat the veteran Saúl Román to win the WBC CABOFE Middleweight Championship.[1]

On March 19 at the Gimnasio de la AUT in Tampico López beat the tough challenger Michel Rosales to win the vacant NABA Light Middleweight title.[2]

In June 2011, López lost to WBA super welterweight champion Austin Trout in June. López defeated compatriot Michel Rosales in a WBA eliminator on March 19. López (40-12, 23 KO) hadn't lost a fight since 2005, going on a 16-fight win streak over that time, and a lot of the guys he's beaten are warriors.[3][4]

Death

[edit]

On July 6, 2017 López was shot dead during an incident that took place in his native Nogales, Sonora. It was reported that he was travelling with a passenger just before midnight, when his truck was attacked by bullets. Lopez died immediately before the police arrived. The Red Cross paramedics attended to the second victim.[5]
