Julio Cesar Vasquez (born July 13, 1966 in Santa Fe, Argentina, is a professional boxer in the super middleweight (168lb) division. Vasquez, known as "El Zurdo", turned pro in 1986 and captured the Vacant WBA Light Middleweight Title by KO'ing Hitoshi Kamiyama in 1992. He successfully defended the title ten times, losing the belt to legendary Pernell Whitaker in 1995. That same year he recaptured the WBA Light Middleweight Title by beating Carl Daniels. The devastating 11th round knockout of Daniels was named Ring Magazine Knockout of the Year for 1995. He lost the belt in his next fight to Laurent Boudouani. Although he never had another major title shot, Vasquez continues to fight in his native Argentina, fighting as recently as 2006.
