 Both of their opponents had visa trouble and at the last minute, the card's promoters decided that in order to save the card, they'd put Carazo, a Jr. Bantamweight, and Vazquez, a Bantamweight, against each other.Carazo suffered his first loss, by a knockout in the first round.Carazo came back to beat former Flyweight world champion Santos Laciar by a decision in 12 at Caguas in 1988, and was given a chance to challenge the late Gilberto Roman for the WBC world's Jr. Bantamweight title in 1989, in the Los Angeles suburb of Inglewood, California.
