Looks like Holyfield dominated from round 1.

Puerto Rican lightweight Carlos Ortiz stops Sugar Ramos via TKO to defend his WBC and WBA belts.
This was their 2nd matchup, since Ortiz had also TKO'ed Ramos the year before.
This is from their first matchup in 1966.

Puerto Rican superfeatherweight Alfredo Escalera retains his WBC title via UD against Shinichi "Buzzsaw" Yamabe in Japan.
Escalera had beaten Yamabe via TKO 3 months earlier in Japan as well.

Re: This day in boxing. A look back.
Wilfredo Vazquez was a very good fighter that Naz destroyed with complete ease.

Re: This day in boxing. A look back.
Vasquez was a guy I really enjoyed watching. I remember watching that fight. It is fascinating to me to watch Vasquez destroy that guy while trying not to hurt him. He saw right away that he was levels above his opponent and ended the fight but never really set down on his punches; he only hit him as hard as he needed to.
