== '''Roberto Gaspar Vasquez Ramirez''' ==

The third of four sons of Mr. Carlos Vazquez and Mrs. Nellis Ramirez de Vazquez, Roberto Vasquez was born 26 May 1983 in the Saint Thomas hospital of Panama City. Following in the steps of his two brothers, Royers and William (also professional boxers), Vasquez started his amateur career in 1992 when he was just nine years old, obtaining a record of 94 victories and only five losses. In 1998 he won the Juvenile National Championship of Panama, and in 2000 he won the National Golden Gloves tournament, just a few months before his professional debut.

Vasquez is popularly known as "La Ara?a" (The Spider), baptized by his first amateur trainer [[Sonin Rodden]]. The nickname comes from his agile defense and speed, besides his power and attacks.

He has won the 2001 "Fight of the Year," 2002 "Prospect of the Year," and 2003, 2004 and 2005 "Boxer of the Year" awards, from the [[Panamanian Professional Boxing Commission]].

The 2004 was a very painful year for Roberto, due to the loss of his father during a boxing card in November.

He was the Latin-American [[World Boxing Council]], [[World Boxing Association]] Fedelatin, and Latino [[World Boxing Organization]] champion, becoming the first Latin American fighter to hold these three titles at the same time in any weight division.

On April 29, 2005, Vasquez became the 22nd Panamanian to become a world champion, when he knocked out the [[WBA|WBA's]] interim champion, [[Beibis Mendoza]]. On May 20, 2006 Roberto dedicated his third successful defense of his light flyweight title to his trainer [[Pedro "Pell?n" Avila]], who was suffering from terminal cancer. After the fight Vasquez officially anounced his intention to move up in category to face [[Lorenzo Parra]], for Parra's WBA flyweight title. The fight was scheduled for November 2006, but Parra injured his right knee during a training session giving the opportunity to Vasquez to fight for the interim title against #2 contender [[Takefumi Sakata]] from Japan. The fight took place in Paris, France on 2 December 2006 and Vasquez won a split decision over Sakata obtaining his second world crown. 7 months later, Sakata prevailed in the rematch. After problems making the 112 pounds Roberto climbed to the super Flyweight division where he is actually trying to win his third world title.

== FIRST BOXING CARD EVER HELD AT THE FIGALI CONVENTION CENTER ==

== The spider man outlasts a tough opponent ==

'''by Eric Jackson'''

With the balkanization of professional boxing rankings among four international organizations, it’s hard to say who’s the real champ and sometimes even to know who’s a contender. But now everybody knows that Panamanian light flyweight Roberto “La Araña” Vásquez is a contender.

On April 16 Vásquez went to the Figali Convention Center to face Colombia’s José García Bernal and came away as the unified WBA, WBO and WBC Latin American champion in his division. Now 15-1 with 13 knockouts, Vásquez just needs to travel outside of Panama to beat one or two guys who are ranked higher than he is to merit what every prizefighter seeks, a shot at a title.

However, it was never so simple as that. It rarely is in boxing --- even for an easy first-round knockout victory an athlete will have gone through months of grueling preparation. And this was not yet another facile mismatch for the guy in the spider robe and tipico hat --- this time Vásquez had a serious opponent, one with a 25-5-1 record and 17 KOs.

By my scoring, Vásquez lost the first round, but not by much. Over that and the next eight rounds, I had the Panamanian taking a couple of rounds and the Colombian taking a couple, but mostly the two fighters going back to their corners drawn.

None of these were these little dance around and jab type draws. No, we had a little toe-to-toe stand-up trading of licks, and a lot of alternating furious combinations landed. The third and fifth round, both of which I scored as ties, were as thrilling as boxing gets.

At the end of nine it seemed to me that all was even after Bernal took the round. The Colombian had shown very quick hands, very nimble footwork and very little vulnerability to those punches that the Panamanian was able to land.

So was that when discussion in the Vásquez corner got to the point of noting that it would be necessary to go for a knockout, as a victory on points was by no means assured?

Whatever was said, Vásquez came out and pounded Bernal in the tenth asalto. As in knocking the Colombian to the canvas twice in that round, with only the bell saving Bernal. It looked as if Vásquez came up with a second wind, or as if Bernal reached the limit of his endurance.

So what did Bernal’s manager tell him between the 10th and 11th rounds? By then the Colombian was surely not about to win on points, but maybe he was just hearing a ringing sensation rather than any words of counsel.

In any case, Vasquez resumed his assault in the eleventh and Bernal barely held on for two minutes, until at 2:14 the spider man put his opponent on the canvas for a third time and the referee stopped the fight. It was a definitive ending to a brilliant fight between well matched professionals, just what the fans had paid to see.

This was, of course, just the main event after seven warm-up bouts, some of them excellent as well.

It started with Colon’s Rossano Lawrence taking out Armando Jiménez in a first-round knockout. Then Chiriqui's Williams González --- a good athlete even if he isn’t the hope of the white race as his promoters stupidly allege --- survived a third-round knockdown and took a controversial unanimous decision in his six-round bout against José Luis Yañez.

After that Alexander Murillo and Javier Córdoba mixed it up for four rounds, with the decision going to the latter, then Jorge Samudio and Carlos Loaiza mixed it up for six rounds, with Samudio taking the decision largely on the strength of a fourth-round knockdown in an otherwise even fight.

So did some of the fans come to see the son of a great legend on his way to the top? If that’s the ultimate destination for Roberto Durán Jr. they saw a detour. Durán, who came into the bout undefeated at 5-0, was matched with an unknown from the Darien, Nicasio Sánchez, also undefeated at 1-0-1. It was a wild battle between young fighters, and a strong Durán finish made it seem as if the fight had ended in a knockout in the final round. Ah, but a bell rang, and despite Durán’s strong finish the judges gave the split decision to Sánchez.

The next bout, wherein Reynaldo Frutos took on Edwin Díaz, might as well have been an ad for the boxing reform that Muhammad Ali and John McCain have been promoted and the likes of Don King and the Vegas casino owners have so far blocked. The Greatest and the senator want to require, among other things, that any fighter who takes a serious beating in the ring will routinely be checked out with a CAT scan. (Had this been done after Pedro Alcázar’s last fight, he’d be with us today.) Díaz came out swinging and knocked Frutos down in the first round, then knocked him cold in the second. When, several minutes later, Frutos was able to get up, he was clearly woozy and disoriented. Viewed from a labor perspective, if he wasn’t taken to a hospital for tests and observation it amounted to intolerable working conditions. Viewed from a shyster’s point of view, if the ringside doctor didn’t order this it amounted to grounds for a malpractice suit. This fan simply hopes that Frutos, a good and valiant fighter even though he’s not headed for the top, will not live the rest of his life with brain damage from this beating.

The night’s penultimate fight, between super-featherweights Joel Cerrud and Fabián Salazar, started out with a wild brawl in the negative sense in the first round. There were too many punches too far off the mark, and too much stumbling, but I gave Salazar the round. Then Cerrud took command, knocking Salazar down in the second and out in the third. Now 9-2-1 with seven knockouts, Cerrud owns the WBO’s regional belt for his category.

== Vasquez KOs Mendoza for WBA title! ==

April 30, 2005
'''By Christian Giudice'''

Thousands of Panamanians got their wish Friday night as they watched their new hero Roberto "Arana" Vasquez knock out Colombia's Beibis Mendoza at 2:03 of the 10th round to win the vacant WBA Light Flyweight crown. After coming into the ring with his late father's photo held toward the rafters, Vasquez went out and fought as if defending his honor. His father, Carlos Vasquez, would not be there to see it, but he would know, somehow. All his life, Vasquez wanted to retrieve his family from despair, and to prove that he belonged. To accentuate his point, the light flyweight champ took a piece from each of the previous 21 champions before him and etched a portrait of what is to come. Along the way, he treated each punch, each move, as a new response to all of the people who had doubted him.

'''They said he couldn't box.'''

http://www.fightnews.com/1photos/arana1.jpg

So, in the first round, Vasquez squatted down, called upon Hilario "Bujia" Zapata, and dodged punches with awkward head movement. As if right back in Barrazza Gym ducking under the raquetball thrown directly at his head by Pellin Avila, Vasquez moved away from the looping punches and showed off his technical skills. However, Mendoza, the veteran, decided to counter the skillful boxer with craftiness. Instead of throwing a barrage of punches, the Colombian waited for the opportune time to drop in his signature straight right. That punch alone would paint bruises on Arana's face over the next nine rounds. On various occasions, they would trade punches in the middle of the ring. Nevertheless, the round finally ended with Vasquez glaring through his mouthpiece, calling to Mendoza, "Is that all you have for me?"

'''They said he would be too courageous in battle.'''

In the early minutes of each round, the cautious Vasquez tried to establish a Ismael Laguna jab, but lacked the patience to keep the fight in the middle of the ring, as Ernesto Marcel once did. Instead, he often gave into the temptation, of all brawlers like Eusebio Pedroza, to trade punch for punch. And while his sharp combinations landed often in the second and third rounds, Mendoza brushed them off, and plodded forward. Blessed in the superlatives allotted to tough Latin fighters, Mendoza forced Vasquez to walk into a series of straight right hands, each one a syringe sucking the energy from his opponent's body. One could feel the bump that was forming under Vasquez's right eye.

'''They said he couldn't commit and stick to his gameplan to box.'''

And if there was ever a time for Panamanians to be alarmed, another dream postponed, it was in the 4th and 5th rounds. Vasquez had abandoned his jab, and although he had landed a right cross to start the 5th, he was continually leaving himself defenseless and off-balance after attacking. Maybe another fighter wouldn't have capitalized, but Mendoza, the intelligent contregolpe, understood the ramifications. I will take what he gives me, Mendoza told himself. So he cut off the ring, nudged Vasquez into corners, and suffocated him with his go-to right hands. Trapped in the corner against the ropes, Vasquez, who had known despair outside the ring, could also recognize it now inside the ring. Everything he had learned was being taken from him piece by piece. If it was true that experience defies youth, then Mendoza was the professor through the middle rounds.

'''They didn't believe in comebacks.'''

It was almost as if watching the slow death of a fighter, then his rebirth in the sixth round. And as a near-blind Vasquez was oblivious to straight rights, and less conscious of left hooks, something occurred. Whether it was the thought of his father, his family, a revelation, whatever stirred him, made him stronger, like Roberto Duran. And as the crowd chanted his name, the wounded fighter began to heal. After throwing the best combination of the round, with the speed of Cieguito Rios, Vasquez rallied. Unchartered territory to that point, Vasquez located a conventional right hook to the body. Neither fighter had even considered the consequences of a body punch until Vasquez introduced the idea of one in the 7th round. In the round, Mendoza hit the canvas, not from a punch, but a slip. Yet, in what had to rank as one of the most influential, exciting rounds in recent Panamanian history, Vasquez bounced a hurt Mendoza across the ring, pushed him against the rope and began to restore faith in the people who were now climbing on top of tables.

'''They didn't feel he had faced real competition.'''

And Mendoza wasn't just any fighter. After receiving a six-punch flurry entering the 8th round, Mendoza used his instincts to conserve the energy he lost in the previous round and became the predator once again. Whoever lost the fight couldn't blame conditioning, for each fighter had masterfully prepared himself. It was as if Mendoza was robotic in his ability to accept punishment, then replenish what he'd lost. By the end of the 8th, he was walking Vasquez down again. But a round later, he had changed his course. Judging by Vasquez's slightly deformed features, which included a slit lip, an egg on top of his right eye, another one under his left, one might have called him a broken fighter. Yet, he started jamming his jab in Mendoza's face, right to the body, and had him shaken with a right cross to end the 9th round.

'''They already had 21 champions, and some wondered if they would ever reach 22.'''

All the emotions from sorrow to utter euphoria bottled up inside Vasquez came pouring out in the first two minutes of the 10th and final round. As Mendoza plodded forward, the only direction in which he seemed to travel, he ran into a right hook to the body and crumpled to the canvas.

Back up by the count of eight, Mendoza managed get back on the offensive and spin Vasquez back into the ropes. Seconds later, from what appeared to be a left hook, Mendoza was back down again for the second time. And although he had arisen by the 10-count, referee Luis Carlos Pavon had waved it off.

Before climbing into the ring on Friday, Vasquez thought about what his father told him many times before, "No one expects you to be here. All the people were down on you, now show them." Then, he went in and boxed as if every word was imprinted on his mind. Every step, every motion as a means to and end. That end, now as WBA Light Flyweight champion of the world, leads to his father´s grave. He used Beibis Mendoza as a pawn to arrive there. That is where he will bring the title belt to rest. Now he can show the one man he had been yearning to make proud all his life, that what he created with his fists was theirs to share, forever.

Undercard Results
Before the main event, world-ranked Cartagena`s Oscar Leon (28-4, 19 KOs) dropped Jairo Tagliaferro twice with straight lefts in the third round, the latter of which he never recovered. With the technical-knockout at 2:50 of the third round, Leon won the WBC/WBO Latino Featherweight titles. As soon as the second knockdown occurred, referee Gustavo Padia rushed to the battered Tagliaferro (12-2, 9 KOs) and quickly waved off the bout.
There were several knockouts that had a similar effect throughout the long evening. With the exception of the headliner, Chiriqui featherweight Roynet Caballero (11-0-1, 6 KOs) put on the most entertaining show. Using an exciting bull-rushing style, Caballero chopped down the taller, more polished Colombian Feider Viloria. In the 5th round, Caballero stuck his head in Viloria's chest and, with little fear for his own safety, pounded out 15-20 pinball shots, until Viloria (11-1, 6 KOs) fell to the canvas. The fight set the tone for the rest of the evening as Caballero stopped Viloria by TKO at 1:23 of the 5th round.
Bugaba native William "The White Hope" Gonzalez earned a tough 8-round unanimous decision over Colombia's Miguel Angel Suarez. After dropping Suarez in the first round, and dominating the early rounds, Gonzalez, now 17-1, with 5 KOs, allowed the Colombian back into the fight as he tired in the latter rounds. The scores read 77-75 twice, and 78-76, all in favor of Gonzalez.
While Gonzalez fared well, his countryman Edwin Diaz (7-6, 3 KOs) watched as his fight was stopped prior to the start of the sixth round. Due to a headbutt by Diaz, Cartagena's Wilfrido Valdez was ruled physically unable to continue and the fight went to the scorecards. Valdez (21-1-2, 16 KOs) won by majority decision and captured the WBC Latino Minimumweight crown.
In other bouts, Barranquilla's Epifanio Mendoza (22-3, 20 KOs) retained the WBC Latino Middleweight crown by TKO over Darisnel Vergara (5-6, 3 KOs) at 2:05 of the 2nd round. A huge right hand sent Vergara rolling over in the middle of the ring, and he couldn't recover.
Young Puerto Rican prospect Jonathan Oquendo improved to 4-0 with a 4-round unanimous decision over Panama's Alexander Alonso. Alonso fell to 5-9 with the loss. Olympic silver medalist Carlos Tamara stopped Ivan Gallardo at 1:16 of the 1st round in junior flyweight action to stay undefeated in only his second pro bout.
In a scary moment, welterweight Jose Arosemena dropped to the canvas compliments of a right hand in the first round by Charlie Navarro and appeared to be in bad condition. Despite losing the bout by 1st-round knockout, Arosemena reached his feet and walked out without assistance.

== Vasquez KOs Mendoza for WBA title! ==

April 30, 2005
'''By Christian Giudice'''

Thousands of Panamanians got their wish Friday night as they watched their new hero Roberto "Arana" Vasquez knock out Colombia's Beibis Mendoza at 2:03 of the 10th round to win the vacant WBA Light Flyweight crown. After coming into the ring with his late father's photo held toward the rafters, Vasquez went out and fought as if defending his honor. His father, Carlos Vasquez, would not be there to see it, but he would know, somehow. All his life, Vasquez wanted to retrieve his family from despair, and to prove that he belonged. To accentuate his point, the light flyweight champ took a piece from each of the previous 21 champions before him and etched a portrait of what is to come. Along the way, he treated each punch, each move, as a new response to all of the people who had doubted him.

'''They said he couldn't box.'''

To accentuate his point, the light flyweight champ took a piece from each of the previous 21 champions before him and etched a portrait of what is to come. Along the way, he treated each punch, each move, as a new response to all of the people who had doubted him.

'''They said he couldn't box.'''

http://www.fightnews.com/1photos/arana1.jpg

So, in the first round, Vasquez squatted down, called upon Hilario "Bujia" Zapata, and dodged punches with awkward head movement. As if right back in Barrazza Gym ducking under the raquetball thrown directly at his head by Pellin Avila, Vasquez moved away from the looping punches and showed off his technical skills. However, Mendoza, the veteran, decided to counter the skillful boxer with craftiness. Instead of throwing a barrage of punches, the Colombian waited for the opportune time to drop in his signature straight right. That punch alone would paint bruises on Arana's face over the next nine rounds. On various occasions, they would trade punches in the middle of the ring. Nevertheless, the round finally ended with Vasquez glaring through his mouthpiece, calling to Mendoza, "Is that all you have for me?"

'''They said he would be too courageous in battle.'''

In the early minutes of each round, the cautious Vasquez tried to establish a Ismael Laguna jab, but lacked the patience to keep the fight in the middle of the ring, as Ernesto Marcel once did. Instead, he often gave into the temptation, of all brawlers like Eusebio Pedroza, to trade punch for punch. And while his sharp combinations landed often in the second and third rounds, Mendoza brushed them off, and plodded forward. Blessed in the superlatives allotted to tough Latin fighters, Mendoza forced Vasquez to walk into a series of straight right hands, each one a syringe sucking the energy from his opponent's body. One could feel the bump that was forming under Vasquez's right eye.

'''They said he couldn't commit and stick to his gameplan to box.'''

And if there was ever a time for Panamanians to be alarmed, another dream postponed, it was in the 4th and 5th rounds. Vasquez had abandoned his jab, and although he had landed a right cross to start the 5th, he was continually leaving himself defenseless and off-balance after attacking. Maybe another fighter wouldn't have capitalized, but Mendoza, the intelligent contregolpe, understood the ramifications. I will take what he gives me, Mendoza told himself. So he cut off the ring, nudged Vasquez into corners, and suffocated him with his go-to right hands. Trapped in the corner against the ropes, Vasquez, who had known despair outside the ring, could also recognize it now inside the ring. Everything he had learned was being taken from him piece by piece. If it was true that experience defies youth, then Mendoza was the professor through the middle rounds.

'''They didn't believe in comebacks.'''

It was almost as if watching the slow death of a fighter, then his rebirth in the sixth round. And as a near-blind Vasquez was oblivious to straight rights, and less conscious of left hooks, something occurred. Whether it was the thought of his father, his family, a revelation, whatever stirred him, made him stronger, like Roberto Duran. And as the crowd chanted his name, the wounded fighter began to heal. After throwing the best combination of the round, with the speed of Cieguito Rios, Vasquez rallied. Unchartered territory to that point, Vasquez located a conventional right hook to the body.

They didn't feel he had faced real competition.

And Mendoza wasn't just any fighter. After receiving a six-punch flurry entering the 8th round, Mendoza used his instincts to conserve the energy he lost in the previous round and became the predator once again. Whoever lost the fight couldn't blame conditioning, for each fighter had masterfully prepared himself. It was as if Mendoza was robotic in his ability to accept punishment, then replenish what he'd lost. By the end of the 8th, he was walking Vasquez down again. But a round later, he had changed his course. Judging by Vasquez's slightly deformed features, which included a slit lip, an egg on top of his right eye, another one under his left, one might have called him a broken fighter. Yet, he started jamming his jab in Mendoza's face, right to the body, and had him shaken with a right cross to end the 9th round.

They already had 21 champions, and some wondered if they would ever reach 22.
All the emotions from sorrow to utter euphoria bottled up inside Vasquez came pouring out in the first two minutes of the 10th and final round. As Mendoza plodded forward, the only direction in which he seemed to travel, he ran into a right hook to the body and crumpled to the canvas.

With the exception of the headliner, Chiriqui featherweight Roynet Caballero (11-0-1, 6 KOs) put on the most entertaining show. Using an exciting bull-rushing style, Caballero chopped down the taller, more polished Colombian Feider Viloria. In the 5th round, Caballero stuck his head in Viloria's chest and, with little fear for his own safety, pounded out 15-20 pinball shots, until Viloria (11-1, 6 KOs) fell to the canvas. The fight set the tone for the rest of the evening as Caballero stopped Viloria by TKO at 1:23 of the 5th round.
Bugaba native William "The White Hope" Gonzalez earned a tough 8-round unanimous decision over Colombia's Miguel Angel Suarez. After dropping Suarez in the first round, and dominating the early rounds, Gonzalez, now 17-1, with 5 KOs, allowed the Colombian back into the fight as he tired in the latter rounds. The scores read 77-75 twice, and 78-76, all in favor of Gonzalez.
While Gonzalez fared well, his countryman Edwin Diaz (7-6, 3 KOs) watched as his fight was stopped prior to the start of the sixth round. Due to a headbutt by Diaz, Cartagena's Wilfrido Valdez was ruled physically unable to continue and the fight went to the scorecards. Valdez (21-1-2, 16 KOs) won by majority decision and captured the WBC Latino Minimumweight crown.
In other bouts, Barranquilla's Epifanio Mendoza (22-3, 20 KOs) retained the WBC Latino Middleweight crown by TKO over Darisnel Vergara (5-6, 3 KOs) at 2:05 of the 2nd round. A huge right hand sent Vergara rolling over in the middle of the ring, and he couldn't recover.
Young Puerto Rican prospect Jonathan Oquendo improved to 4-0 with a 4-round unanimous decision over Panama's Alexander Alonso. Alonso fell to 5-9 with the loss. Olympic silver medalist Carlos Tamara stopped Ivan Gallardo at 1:16 of the 1st round in junior flyweight action to stay undefeated in only his second pro bout.
In a scary moment, welterweight Jose Arosemena dropped to the canvas compliments of a right hand in the first round by Charlie Navarro and appeared to be in bad condition. Despite losing the bout by 1st-round knockout, Arosemena reached his feet and walked out without assistance.

== Vasquez KOs Mendoza for WBA title! ==

April 30, 2005
'''By Christian Giudice'''

Thousands of Panamanians got their wish Friday night as they watched their new hero Roberto "Arana" Vasquez knock out Colombia's Beibis Mendoza at 2:03 of the 10th round to win the vacant WBA Light Flyweight crown. After coming into the ring with his late father's photo held toward the rafters, Vasquez went out and fought as if defending his honor. His father, Carlos Vasquez, would not be there to see it, but he would know, somehow. All his life, Vasquez wanted to retrieve his family from despair, and to prove that he belonged. To accentuate his point, the light flyweight champ took a piece from each of the previous 21 champions before him and etched a portrait of what is to come. Along the way, he treated each punch, each move, as a new response to all of the people who had doubted him.
They said he couldn't box.
So, in the first round, Vasquez squatted down, called upon Hilario "Bujia" Zapata, and dodged punches with awkward head movement. As if right back in Barrazza Gym ducking under the raquetball thrown directly at his head by Pellin Avila, Vasquez moved away from the looping punches and showed off his technical skills. However, Mendoza, the veteran, decided to counter the skillful boxer with craftiness. Instead of throwing a barrage of punches, the Colombian waited for the opportune time to drop in his signature straight right. That punch alone would paint bruises on Arana's face over the next nine rounds. On various occasions, they would trade punches in the middle of the ring. Nevertheless, the round finally ended with Vasquez glaring through his mouthpiece, calling to Mendoza, "Is that all you have for me?"

They said he would be too courageous in battle.
In the early minutes of each round, the cautious Vasquez tried to establish a Ismael Laguna jab, but lacked the patience to keep the fight in the middle of the ring, as Ernesto Marcel once did. Instead, he often gave into the temptation, of all brawlers like Eusebio Pedroza, to trade punch for punch. And while his sharp combinations landed often in the second and third rounds, Mendoza brushed them off, and plodded forward. Blessed in the superlatives allotted to tough Latin fighters, Mendoza forced Vasquez to walk into a series of straight right hands, each one a syringe sucking the energy from his opponent's body. One could feel the bump that was forming under Vasquez's right eye.
They said he couldn't commit and stick to his gameplan to box.
And if there was ever a time for Panamanians to be alarmed, another dream postponed, it was in the 4th and 5th rounds. Vasquez had abandoned his jab, and although he had landed a right cross to start the 5th, he was continually leaving himself defenseless and off-balance after attacking. Maybe another fighter wouldn't have capitalized, but Mendoza, the intelligent contregolpe, understood the ramifications. I will take what he gives me, Mendoza told himself. So he cut off the ring, nudged Vasquez into corners, and suffocated him with his go-to right hands. Trapped in the corner against the ropes, Vasquez, who had known despair outside the ring, could also recognize it now inside the ring. Everything he had learned was being taken from him piece by piece. If it was true that experience defies youth, then Mendoza was the professor through the middle rounds.
They didn't believe in comebacks.
It was almost as if watching the slow death of a fighter, then his rebirth in the sixth round. And as a near-blind Vasquez was oblivious to straight rights, and less conscious of left hooks, something occurred. Whether it was the thought of his father, his family, a revelation, whatever stirred him, made him stronger, like Roberto Duran. And as the crowd chanted his name, the wounded fighter began to heal. After throwing the best combination of the round, with the speed of Cieguito Rios, Vasquez rallied. Unchartered territory to that point, Vasquez located a conventional right hook to the body. Neither fighter had even considered the consequences of a body punch until Vasquez introduced the idea of one in the 7th round. In the round, Mendoza hit the canvas, not from a punch, but a slip. Yet, in what had to rank as one of the most influential, exciting rounds in recent Panamanian history, Vasquez bounced a hurt Mendoza across the ring, pushed him against the rope and began to restore faith in the people who were now climbing on top of tables.
They didn't feel he had faced real competition.
And Mendoza wasn't just any fighter. After receiving a six-punch flurry entering the 8th round, Mendoza used his instincts to conserve the energy he lost in the previous round and became the predator once again. Whoever lost the fight couldn't blame conditioning, for each fighter had masterfully prepared himself. It was as if Mendoza was robotic in his ability to accept punishment, then replenish what he'd lost. By the end of the 8th, he was walking Vasquez down again. But a round later, he had changed his course. Judging by Vasquez's slightly deformed features, which included a slit lip, an egg on top of his right eye, another one under his left, one might have called him a broken fighter. Yet, he started jamming his jab in Mendoza's face, right to the body, and had him shaken with a right cross to end the 9th round.
They already had 21 champions, and some wondered if they would ever reach 22.
All the emotions from sorrow to utter euphoria bottled up inside Vasquez came pouring out in the first two minutes of the 10th and final round. As Mendoza plodded forward, the only direction in which he seemed to travel, he ran into a right hook to the body and crumpled to the canvas. Back up by the count of eight, Mendoza managed get back on the offensive and spin Vasquez back into the ropes. Seconds later, from what appeared to be a left hook, Mendoza was back down again for the second time. And although he had arisen by the 10-count, referee Luis Carlos Pavon had waved it off. Next to Al Brown, Laguna, Frazer, Duran, Pinder, Marcel, Rios, Lopez, Riasco, Ortega, Lujan, Pedroza, Ibarra, Zapata, Rafael Pedroza, Layne, Cordoba, Muriillo, Martinez, Alcazar, and Samaniego, number twenty-two etched his name.
Before climbing into the ring on Friday, Vasquez thought about what his father told him many times before, "No one expects you to be here. All the people were down on you, now show them." Then, he went in and boxed as if every word was imprinted on his mind. Every step, every motion as a means to and end. That end, now as WBA Light Flyweight champion of the world, leads to his father´s grave. He used Beibis Mendoza as a pawn to arrive there. That is where he will bring the title belt to rest. Now he can show the one man he had been yearning to make proud all his life, that what he created with his fists was theirs to share, forever.
Undercard Results
Before the main event, world-ranked Cartagena`s Oscar Leon (28-4, 19 KOs) dropped Jairo Tagliaferro twice with straight lefts in the third round, the latter of which he never recovered. With the technical-knockout at 2:50 of the third round, Leon won the WBC/WBO Latino Featherweight titles. As soon as the second knockdown occurred, referee Gustavo Padia rushed to the battered Tagliaferro (12-2, 9 KOs) and quickly waved off the bout.
There were several knockouts that had a similar effect throughout the long evening.
