EL PERRO MAKES QUICK WORK OF ALCINE

Alfredo Angulo TKO 1 Joachim Alcine TIME: 2:59

Alfredo Angulo powered right through Alcine to get yet another knockout victory. It looked like it would be a competitive, and entertaining bout from the opening bell. I thought that Alcine was going to give "El Perro" a good fight. It looked like Alcine was out on his feet when the ref stepped in, but there was only 1 second left in the round. Either way it was an impressive victory for the rough Angulo. He is a no nonsense, very Aggressive Mexican pressure fighter. We saw what happened to him when he fought a boxer with superior boxing skills. However he is a real fighter who will get in the ring with anyone. He is a true Mexican warrior, meaning he is afraid of no one. This is his 4Th consecutive win since his one sided loss to Kermit Cintron. Every one of his victories have been by knockout in that streak. If Sergio Martinez wants to fight at 154, and not a catch weight that fight can happen. The only 2 fighters ranked above him at 154. They are Sergio Martiez, who would beat him, and Kermit Cintron who already outclassed him. We really can't learn much from this fight. It was quick but Alicine was right there in front of him. The winner of the Corey Spinks, and K-9 Bundrage could offer a fun fight. He would be chasing Spinks but Bundrage would be there to fight. I think he is headed in the right direction, and win lose or draw he is real fun to watch.

ALFREDO ANGULO: STILL A DOG

Alfredo Angulo KO 11 Joel Julio TIME: 1:39

El Pero gets his 3rd straight win after loosing a 1 sided decision to Kermit Cintron. He looked the same as he always does, rough, and raw. His game plan the same, being aggressive, putting on pressure, and throwing power punches. His one dimensional style is not pretty, or effective against good boxers but it is sure fun to watch. He has had good success thus far but unless he changes his style up a bit he will lose when he steps up the ladder. Sergio Martinez will destroy El Pero if they ever fought. I think Spinks would beat him but I would love to see Angulo win. He is an action-packed fighter with a style that people love, and as you know in boxing it can take you far. If you lay it all on the line, and make a fight of it fan will respect you win, lose, or draw.

NO APTHY IN CONNECTICUT WHAT A GREAT NIGHT ON HBO

Chad Dawson unanimous w12 Glen Johnson 115-113, 115-113, 117-111

Chad Dawson made Glen Johnson showed no APATHY in Connecticut tonight against Chad Dawson and either did El Perro. Chad looked more calm and professional against the tough Road Warrior Glen Johnson then in their first encounter. You could tell after the opening round it was going to be an up hill battle for Glen Jonson and a totally different fight then their last. When Chad stood his ground he stopped the relentless attack of his opponent with sharp precision punches. Glen tried to pressure all night but because of Chad's great circling ability he was unsuccessful of sustaining his patented attack. Even Glens sparring with the great supermiddleweight champ Lucian Bute didn't help him tonight. Chad was just beating him to the punch all night long and keeping him off balence with his movement and angles. Every time you thought Johnson was starting to make progress chad had an answer for him. He lead, he countered, he threw combinations, well he did it all. In boxing you can get old in one night and that is just what the great warrior looked tonight, but only time will tell if he is as old as he looked tonight against the young lion. If Chad Dawson continues to progress and learn under Eddie Mustapha Muhammad he will reign for as long as he wants. I was totally impressed with the 27 year old Chad Dawson's performence tonight, he is as BAD as his nickname implies.

Alfredo Angulo KO 3 Harry Joe Yorgey Time 1:03

I'm sure everyone is sick of all dog related cliches related to Angulos nickname "El Perro', but I really just don't care because they fit. As soon as Angulo was let off of his chain he attacked like a neighborhood pit with a thirst for blood. Yorgey looked like the mailman when he saw the attacking dog Angulo moving backward. Angulo mauled him with a ferocity that Mike Vick would applaud hitting Harry Joe with clean hard punches. He bloodied his nose and stunned him after round 1, and he never looked back. Angulo didn't just throw one punch and sit back and enjoy his work, he followed each one up with one harder than the first. Jack Lowe should have stepped into save his fighter but then again he can't even get his boy Kelly to even fight after the one sided beating he sustained at the hand of B-Hop. Yorgey was out of his class and he paid for it in blood, hat Angulo was more than happy to take. Angulo come back with the second impressive performance after his boxing lesson he took from Kermit Cintron. When can you tell you are watching a good fighter? You can tell by the way they come back from a loss, and Angulo came back in impressive fashion. Too many time now a days fighters are afraid to take on tough completion and risk a loss on their records. What these fighters don't realize is when you fight the best and loose the fans will give you respect. Angulo learned from his loss and Mexicans every whee should be proud that he is proving to be a real fighter and we thank him for that.

GREAT BOXING ON TV THIS WEEKEND

November 7Th

Chad Dawson vs. Glen Johnson

This is a great rematch that Dawson won the first time, I thought Johnson won. I am picking Johnson to win in what most people would call an upset to line up a third fight. In this fight you get to see a young, highly skilled phenom Chad Dawson try to show his speed and power to beat a man who wont go down easy. Glen Johnson will pressure Dawson smothering him trying to take his legs, and go for a KO. This fight will be on HBO at 9:30PM ET so be ready or record it.

Alfredo Angulo vs. Harry Joe Yorgey


Everybody knows El Perro and how ferocious he can be and how weak he looked against Kermit Cintron, which one will show up. Not too many people know Harry Joe Yorgey, but he is good. I know this because he knocked out Detroit representative and son of legend Ronald Hearns. This fight could go either way it Yorgey can box and move he can beat Angulo but if he can't he will be malled badly. Either way this should be an entertaining fight to watch as an under card bout on the Dawson/Johnson fight on HBO.

Nikolai Valuev vs. David Haye

This is truly a David vs. Goliath fight with the 7 ft Russian giant going up against the UK loudmouth and blown up cruiser weight David Haye. This is a slow lumbering giant with OK skills facing a very fast fighter with a mighty punch. This one is hard to pick, if Haye can hurt Valuev early and get him out of there he can win. If he can't he will be tired and possibly set up the big man for the KO. I know Haye will get exposed but will it happen against the giant probably not . Having said this I'm picking Haye in an ugly fight, I like to pick the smaller guy it makes the fight much more fun to watch. It can be a bad decision in Russia because anything can happen just ask "The Real Deal". Even if Haye wins he will get crushed by a number of heavyweights including The Klitschko brother which he is afraid of.


Also Wednesday on ESPN2 we have Jr lightweight Jason Litzau in action against Johnnie Edwards. This should be a fun fight to watch and all 10 rounds will be fought hard. On Saturday Joel Casamayor against Jason Davis, and Zab Judah is against Ubaldo Hernandez are back in action in the welterweight division. This could set up a fight between the two and it would also be fun to watch if it ever materialize.

Still some fight in "El Pero" By Nick Thomas

After an uninspired one sided loss to Kermit Cintron, Alfredo "El Pero" Angulo responded on ESPN2's FRIDAY NIGHT FIGHTS in exciting fashion to TKO Gabriel Rosado in just two rounds. After the Cintron fight I was dissapointed with Angulo and thought he looked flat. In fact he looked more like Fredo from the Godfather not Alfredo a prizefighter, not last night. Although it was against lesser oppisiton he did what he had to do. In order to get his identity back as a tuff no guts no glory prize fighter he had to win and win impressively. Even though Rosado ignored the first rule of boxing ( protect your self at all time) he still would have got TKOed. Angulo was hungry to get back into the ring and prove himself with another win. Once Rosado was hurt Alfredo smelled the blood and ferociously mauled his oponent with combinations to the head and body with bad intentions. He has a few technical things that better opposition will exploit like bouncing up and down in fron of his opponent, standing so straight up and down while in front, and comming in straight forward not on an angle. Apperently he has some bite left in him. Only time and a step up in class will tell if he is for real, either way he is entertaining and has the heart of a real fighter. I hope he has continued sucess.
