Bye champ.

I hope he enjoys his retirement. He had a great career.

Good for him, NO boxer should risk their vision to practice their sport. He can find something else to do in the sport to continue his carrier. Good luck to him.

Vazquez is one of the men responsible for my favorite fights ever, and while I'm sad to see him go I'm also glad because it was time. Props to the man.

This is both sad and good news. He gets nothing but respect from me.

Thanks for the memories, Izzy.

hes like a gatti or a corrales pure blood guts power punching and determination

Have the pleasure of meeting him along with "El Finito" Ricardo Lopez , Nonito Donaire a few years back in Ontario,ca. A great bunch of guys.If this is true that vazquez has retired , He's had a great run and can sit back and enjoy the time off !

Got nothing but love for this mexican warrior. Hope nothing but the best for him

Total respect for a great warrior. He will be remembered for years to come. Fighting like he did is how you build a legacy.

Cesar (Chicago) Did Israel Vazquez retire from boxing or does he plan on fighting again?? Dan Rafael (1:10 PM) Retired. For those who didn't know. This is a tribute. Ha, those are all my videos. These were the first I ever put together.

Thank you again!

Thank you everyone. It's pretty cool to know that Izzy is still appreciated. He is doing good. Busy spending time with his family and enjoying life. We had a party a few weeks ago. And it was fun. Here is the latest pic of Izzy with his wife. But he's doing great! I will make sure to tell him, that his fans appreciate him. That will make him happy. Because at the end of the day... he fought for the fans! http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r302/alphaqfrankie/photo-81.jpg Tell Izzy he will always be remembered as the an ultimate blood and guts warrior. I felt humbled watching his fights. May he live a long and have a peaceful life. Thank you Izzy for all you gave.

Send him our best regards from here on boxingscene. Que disfrute sus vacaciones con su familia querida y le agradecemos todo lo que a echo para este deporte.
