    Not a fighter that's discussed much on here, but I find his status as a truly remarkable puncher to be interesting. How does he do against other guys around 118-122 pounds? His icing of a young Wilfredo Vasquez was something to behold. Great knockout, ticks off all the boxes. Was anyone following boxing when he was active?

    I remember watching the fight live on USA Tuesday Night fights. That was one of those freakish one punch kos where a normally very durable guy gets iced.

    Another surprising early KO on USA around that time was Gaby Canizales Ko 2 Miguel "Happy" Lora.

    I can't remember Contreras doing much after this upset.
