Revenge can be a motivator in boxing.
DeLa Torre's trainer, Willie Silva, ended the bout when he threw in the towel as DeLa Torre was taking punishment to the body and head in the seventh round. It improved Vazquez's record to 34-21 and gave the La Habra fighter 29 knockouts as a pro. The first KO was a first-rounder last Oct. 28 in Santa Ynez. Vazquez landed the more effective punches for much of the fight, but DeLa Torre also delivered his share of crunching blows. Both fighters were cut above their left eyes by the time the fight was stopped.
