Vazquez Jr., 28, has seen things turn sour rapidly in his once promising career with him losing two out of his last three fights. Vazquez Jr. was beaten by Jorce Arce by a 12th round knockout last year in May in a surprising upset that saw Vazquez Jr. lose his World Boxing Organization super bantamweight title in a fight that he was incredibly close going into the 12th. Vazquez Jr. would then beat journeyman Roberto Carlos Leyva by a 3rd round KO in his next fight in October of last year.
