Velázquez turned pro in 1966 and captured the WBC light welterweight title in 1976 with a disqualification win over Saensak Muangsurin in his 72nd pro fight. He lost the title later that year in his first defense in a rematch to Muangsurin, via 2nd round TKO. Velasquez retired after the loss, but had a brief comeback in 1979.
