He was a Puerto Rican featherweight based in Hartford CT. Was a top 10 contender in the mid 90s. very very strong, excellent condition, fast handed but hit like a light heavyweight. Never got a big fight as he was too dangerous and lacked the right management, believe Artie Pelullo had him but Artie had no mojo back then. Plus AV was hard to promote as he spoke no English and he just didn't have a fan base. He was prime when Naz Hamed and Kelley were on top and I think would have stopped them both. Eventually all the small fights got to him and he overriped on the vine and lost. But at his best he was a monster and one of the most impressive featherweights I ever saw. Shame he never made it big, this happens to quite a lot of talented fighters. Angel Vazquez -- does anyone have any memories of him and what he's up to now?

...apparently not...

I will always remember November 12th, 1996.

Angel Vazquez KO 1 Miguel Arrozal

Being a fan to the sport for a couple of years, I was impressed how easy Vazquez took out Arrozal who had just fought for the WBA Featherweight Championship against Eloy Rojas. It was the opening fight on USA's Tuesday Night Fights. I thought Vazquez would make more of his career than he did.

He was heavily hyped and had perhaps an undeserved tag of "most avoided featherweight" for a while. I saw him live and he didn't look great, squeezing out a split decision against a fairly ordinary guy. It was a FW card, so the talk at the time was that he'd bought his contract or had some interest, with a view to matching him with Hamed. I would guess a poor showing and a fairly tepid response to him meant he either got rid of lost interest.

He went on to lose fairly soon after, so I would guess that's what happened to him.

His wife was smoking hot, had a huge ass.
