This day in boxing. A look back.

3-30-97: Wilfredo Vazquez defends his WBA World Featherweight title against Yuji Watanabe in Japan. Not only one of the great Puerto Rican champions, but one who, like back in those days, would typically travel to any country from early on, to take on challenges in their own backyards.

Fantastic spirited fighter. Box or brawl he could do it. Thought he did enough over Galaxy and Cermeno, definitely not Rios. His loss to Contreras was nuts. He risks number one rank to face current wbo 118 champ who was a last minute replacement. Shocking fight for Sr. but he would again rebound.
