Former IBF lightweight champ, Miguel Vazquez (34-4, 13 KOs), speaking to ESPN Deportes Radio, said that he will pursue a rematch with Mickey Bey immediately.
Claiming to have a rematch clause in his contract as well as a verbal agreement by advisor Al Haymon, Vazquez is looking for redemption in the September 13 bout he feels he deserved to win.
The former champion indicated that he felt Bey got the controversial decision because of his status as a Mayweather Promotions fighter competing on a card headlined by Mayweather Promotions boss, Floyd Mayweather.
Most observers agreed that the lightweight contest was quite close and could’ve gone either way– a fact that made the deciding 119-109 score in Bey’s favor such a poorly-received call.
