Vasquez, the lightweight champion of Mexico, was very impressive in registering a clean-cut knockout. After a slow start the Mexican champ opened up in the 4th to floor Brooks with a right to the jaw for a nine-count. And then after 2:47 of the 6th round Vasquez decked Brooks for the full 10-count with a right to the head." -Associated Press
