I've seen Vazquez Sr fight as a super bantam and featherweight, and took him to be a bit of a slow footed plodder, albeit with big power. I've heard though that he had some really interesting fights as a bantamweight. Ring mag described his war with Antonio Avelar as one of the best fights ever, a war that Vazquez lost via stoppage in 8. I saw this many years ago on a poor quality tape and don't recall much.

Also, the draw with the Japanese fighter Takuya Mugurama was described as a very hard fight.

And apparently both men were down vs Miguel Lora?

Are these fights worth hunting down (including his WBA title winning effort vs Park as well)?

Yes collect those fights Wilfredo Vazquez v Miguel Lora is a great fight although I have not found it in great quality.
I have it in poor quality but with a good tv monitor and watching from several meters away It was a pleasant watch.

Yeah, both guys were down in the Lora fight. Very good stuff.
