Sánchez defended his title for the first time with a 15-round unanimous decision against Ruben Castillo (47–1). Confident and hard to beat, Lopez was beaten by the 21-year-old Sánchez, who knocked out the defending champion in 13 rounds in Phoenix, Arizona, United States on February 2, 1980. Soon he had beaten people like the Puerto Rican featherweight champion Felix Trinidad Sr., on his way to securing a title shot at world champion Danny "Little Red" Lopez, a popular TV fighter of the late 1970s who was an impressive fighter and had won some spectacular fights against the likes of former world champion David Kotei (twice), Juan Malvares and Mike Ayala. Sánchez kept on fighting and moved to the Featherweight division. Becerra proved too experienced for the young Sánchez, the bout ended in a split decision defeat for Sánchez.
