		Buchanan lost a 15 round decision to Velazquez, but nevertheless, he continued his ascent towards the number one spot in the rankings by beating Tavarez in a rematch, Chris Fernandez and Brian Hudson, the latter of whom was beaten by a knockout in five in a defense of the British Lightweight title.
		Buchanan retained the title with another decision over Laguna, and then he had a couple of non-title affairs, one in London and one in South Africa.

		Laguna was blindingly fast, but Buchanan was able to curtail his speed with a stop sign of a jab.
		Against all odds it was the native Laguna who saw the fight slip away under the 120 degree heat, a heat which could cause the devil to call in sick.
		Laguna told Buchanan in later years that he was a better boxer than Roberto Duran, who Laguna had used as a sparring partner before the Buchanan rematch.

	Callist, tras los pasos de Laguna y Durán (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Laguna y Durán, dos de los mejores pugilistas en la historia del boxeo mundial reinaron en la división ligero en la década del 60 y del 70, y desde entonces han transcurrido 31 años, sin que ningún otro boxeador panameño haya podido emularlos en esa categoría.
		El 3 de marzo de 1970, el ‘Tigre’ Laguna volvió a coronarse campeón mundial de los ligeros masacrando en nueve asaltos al estadounidense Mando Ramos, quien terminó con el rostro totalmente desfigurado, a consecuencia de la golpiza que le propinó el panameño.
		Casi un año después (13 de septiembre de 1971) Laguna y Buchanan volvieron a enfrentarse, esta vez en Nueva York y el escocés retuvo su cetro por decisión en 15 asaltos.
