"Frankie Ryff did little to help himself as a top-flight lightweight contender by his victory over Baby Vasquez. The New Yorker knew his unanimous decision over the Mexican in a 10 round nationally televised bout hadn't been a crowd-pleaser. After Ryff was cut in the 4th round, he became cautious for a couple of rounds. Then he reverted to form and rushed in with both fists flying to earn a substantial edge. Ryff was wild and ineffective much of the time, but Vasquez didn't hit hard enough to offset his persistent drive." -Associated Press

*Unofficial AP scorecard - 7-2-1 Ryff
*Vasquez was a substitute for Paolo Rosi, who the NY Boxing Commission felt was an unfit opponent.

Post fight comments

* "I'd rather lose and give the fans a show. He was sloppy and he made me sloppy too." -Frankie Ryff, on his performance.

* "He froze up because this was his first time in the Garden." -George Parnassus, Vasquez' manager.

* "We will give serious consideration to an April title fight between Ryff and champion Wallace (Bud) Smith. Ryff appears ready for the shot." -Harry Markson, managing director of the IBC, on a possible title fight that never came off.
