Wilfredo Vazquez Jr-Ivan Hernandez in Play For Oct. 16 (BoxingScene.com)
Wilfredo Vazquez Jr. (19-0-1, 16 KO) will return to the ring on October 16 in Florida, and it looks like his opponent will be veteran Ivan Hernandez (27-4-1, 17 KO). Hernandez is mostly a stepping stone-type, realistically. He was retired in three by Toshiaki Nishioka last October, and was retired in four by Israel Vazquez in 2006. He also has a KO-7 loss to Fernando Montiel (2005) and a UD-10 loss to Jose Angel Beranza (2006). He really hasn't beaten anyone of note in years, and his best win ever might be over Mark "Too Sharp" Johnson back in 2004, which effectively retired Johnson. It's really not much of a fight, but it's good to see Vazquez getting back in the ring. Hopefully next year he can test his mettle against some of the division's best. But I do get the feeling that Vazquez might be protected as a Coming Star of Puerto Rico for a little while.
