D way i put it , Perez vs Vazquez is 1(0):1(1) , so Vazquez got d better of it by far , and then their 1st fight was a 10 rder , not 12 .

It still matters but far less than d brutal stoppage that Vazquez managed on him .

d 3rd opponent that i referred 2 is Genaro Hernandez whom destroyed Perez 2 years and 4 months b4 Espinosa did , and i (still) give them credit 4 it despite that Perez' record by that time suggests that he was rapidly declining 4 some reason .

Case in point his pretty one sided win over Wilfredo the 1st time around. His jab was flowing nicely then he goes on to dethrone the undefeated "Happy" Lora in another pretty one side bout. I think I only gave "Happy" Lora 3 rounds and I was being generous with one of them I believe.
Wish i could find more Raul Perez fights other than his 2 losses i refered 2

He had to retire early because he suffered some head injuries in his last bout and had to undergo surgery.
In a way Contreras vs Espinosa is like Avelar vs Vazquez , respectively .
In terms of age differences it is like Vazquez vs Perez .

I wish that i could find more of Vazquez' , Perez' , Espinosa's , Contreras' , (Gaby) Canizales' and their opponents' fights .
