Editing Jorge Páez (section)

===Later years===
Paez then went up against WBA super featherweight champion [[Genaro Hernandez]] in a non-title bout, losing by TKO in the 8th round due to cuts. On August 17, 1996, he won the WBC Continental Americas super featherweight regional title by knocking out Narciso Valenzuela in 3 rounds. Paez would then lose that title in his next match against Julian Wheeler but regained it by beating Wheeler in the rematch.

On August 7, 1997, he lost by a knockout in eight rounds to [[Angel Manfredy]]. After three victories, Paez lost via a devastating one-punch knockout in seven rounds  to [[Augie Sanchez]] in May 1999. In his next bout in October 1999, Paez boxed future lightweight champion [[Jose Luis Castillo]], losing by KO in the fifth round.

Paez continued to box on over the next few years, winning a long string of bouts against a lower level of opposition.
