Najee Lopez had to get off the floor to win. He had to overcome a nasty cut from a second round headclash that saw a torrent of blood spew down his face for the majority of the fight and, ultimately, in the eighth round, he delivered the grand finale to stop brave Manuel Gallegos in their ProBox TV thriller.

In the aftermath, the online boxing community paid homage to both Lopez and ProBox TV for the fireworks in what many are dubbing an early Fight of the Year contender.

Here is what is being said about Lopez-Gallegos and the ProBox TV show from the Osceola Heritage Park in Kissimmee last night. You can catch up with the whole fight here.

Phenomenal main event on @ProBoxTV. Najee Lopez gets it done. Wild scenes in Florida.

@rosieperezblyn
Wow! Wow! Wow! Congratulations Lopez! Thank Goodness the ref finally freaking stopped the fight, even though Gallegos was already on his way down! My God, what a fight! Mad respect for Gallegos!! 

@OlivieriLaw
A tremendous @WorldBoxingOrg Regional Championship main event @ProBox_TV from the opening bell. Najee Lopez showed incredible toughness, battling through an early cut & finishing in dominant fashion via dramatic TKO. Much respect to Manuel Gallegos; a warrior with heart & balls who never stopped coming forward. Great fight!

The matchmaking for @ProBox_TV is always astonishingly good

@BuryEmBoxing
Phenomenal finish. Incredible fight. The referee deserves a ton of credit for giving Gallegos as much rope as he did. He deserved it. Najee had to earn that KO. FOTY contender.

Najee Lopez is trending and I can't tell if that's a good or bad sign. Either way, I feel like I should start a fan club or something. Memberships include snacks and ambiguous vibes.

@IronFist1982

@HamedBoxing
Najee “Chino” Lopez dropped and finished Manuel Gallegos after a back and forth battle. Both guys were landing bombs all night until Gallegos finally couldn’t take any more. This fight might be a Fight of the Year Candidate.

@_TayJones
I know if Najee pops was here bra he’d be crying… I promise coach Lopez smiling down man

@thereallinikaj
Shoutout to Gallegos for a valiant effort. That was a dramatic ass slugfest. Both men showed amazing heart and grit.
