	Naseem Hamed vs. Wilfredo Vazquez (April 18, 1998)
		Wilfredo Vazquez is headed for the Hall of Fame someday, however, this wasn't the fight he wants to be remembered for.
		Vazquez (126, 1998) tried to apply pressure to the elusive champion and briefly corned him with 35-seconds remaining in the round, but got caught with stiff left hand to the chin.
		Vazquez was reduced to throwing wide, wild, lunging punches, that Vazquez easily avoided as he floated around the canvas.

	Juan Lazcano vs. Wilfredo Vazquez (June 16, 2000)
		A combination of youth, speed, and the calendar proved to be Vazquez's downfall and referee Jay Nady halted the bout in the ninth round after the former champ's corner entered the ring.
		Lazcano (133 ½) was able to keep Vazquez (135) on the end of his jab most of the night as he systematically broke the aging former champion down.
		Vazquez careened along the ropes and Lazcano continued to drill Vazquez with a withering series of punishing shots.

	BOXING MONTHLY - Article Two - May 1998
		Vazquez was down in the third but recovered well, yet not even a 10-minute interruption to repair a damaged ring rope - a result of the Carl Thompson-Chris Eubank WBO cruiser title war on the undercard (see page 28) - in round six could prevent the inevitable for too long.
		Vazquez, a 37 year-old veteran of 60 fights and until recently the undefeated World Boxing Association champion, wore a gaudy crown and robe into the ring but wisely he allowed a younger camp aide to indulge in Hamed-like gymnastics.
		Vazquez was clever and canny, and at times ripped in some nice shots to the body.
