That was 7 years ago, when Vazquez was only 20, and his first fight out of Mexico.

a loss is a loss.....

Minus the excessive holding I actually find Gumby comically entertaining to watch he's so figgedty/twithchy his legs look like there going in opposite directions leaps in w/wide shots from his hips either eludes or holds avoids getting tagged too much , maybe not for 12 rounds 8 is more tolerable but I could see how others would dislike.

I have the utmost respect for pure boxers but Vazquez is painful to watch. People **** all over Molina for his tactics against Kirkland for the holding but he was fighting a huge puncher and was still aggressive in that fight. Vazquez fights like this even against feather fisted opponents and is much less aggressive. It's hard to like someone who fights like that. Imagin how awful Vazquez Burns would've been, I'm glad Vazquez pulled out.

Come on, they are bringing in the poor rice farmer to be the sacrificial slaughter to the boxing Gods.

True

I wonder how many succesful defenses of his World Title he can have, he already has 6 and counting...

Arum should make Vazquez Beltran. Beltran is bigger, stronger than Shafikov and has a good chin. He also is pretty good a cutting off the ring and would make Vazquez fight more IMO.

He could probably rack up quite a few, I don't see too many guys being able to trouble him given his unorthodox style. I would have loved to see him take Broner's 0 but Broner and his team were too scared of that bout.

Boxing needs a Vazquez vs. Abril unification to save the sport.

It looks like this Thai guy can fight a bit.

Shiming did well but he also got tagged on several occasions. HE took the round but he needs to be weary of counter shots.

I think I'd rather watch naked mma.
