Jorge Vaca (born 14 December 1959) is a Mexican former professional boxer who held the World Welterweight Championship.
[1] Vaca turned pro in 1978 and captured the WBC and Lineal welterweight title by beating Lloyd Honeyghan via 8th round technical decision in 1987,[2] but lost the belt to Honeyghan via 3rd KO in a rematch in 1988.
Later that year he took on IBF Welterweight Title holder Simon Brown, but lost the bout via 3rd TKO.
Although he never got a shot again at another major title, Vaca was destroyed by a relatively young Roy Jones Jr. in one round, in the Light-Middleweight weight-class in 1992.
[3] He continued to fight until 2002, mostly in his native Mexico, and retired after a loss to Marco Antonio Rubio.
