Undefeated junior welterweight sensation ALFREDO “Perro” ANGULO of Mexico, has picked up the scent of his next victim – former world champion Ricardo Mayorga. The Angulo-Mayorga junior middleweight rumble will take place on February 14, 2009 – Valentine’s Day – and will be televised live on HBO. “I’m going to leave forget-me-knots all over his nicotine-stained face,” growled Angulo, whose nickname “Perro” translates to “dog” in English. “Mayorga isn’t going to have to wait until the last second to get knocked out like he did with Shane Mosley. I’m going after him like a dog on a bone the second the first bell rings. He is so done.” Added Gary Shaw, Angulo’s promoter, “I don’t know what possessed Mayorga to accept this fight. Maybe they should be checking the contents on of his cigarettes!”Angulo (14-0, 11 KOs), of Mexico is riding a 10-bout victory-by-knockout streak dating back to 2006. The former Mexican Olympian is currently world-rated No. 3 by the WBC, No. 5 by the WBO and No. 8 by the IBF. Mayorga (28-7-1, 22 KOs), from Nicaragua, has a resume that boasts victories over Vernon Forrest, Fernando Vargas and Andrew Lewis and world titles in the welterweight and super welterweight divisions.
Shaw also announced that Ali Funeka (30-1-2, 25 KOs), of South Africa, the IBF’s No. 1-rated lightweight contender and mandatory challenger, would be making his U.S. debut, when he takes on world lightweight champion Nate Campbell (32-5-1, 25 KOs), from Tampa, in the co-main event.
EL Perro a nice guy in person. This is going to be a brawl. Both Mayorga and Angulo like to fight inside, Its going to be bloody, I cant wait.
I can’t agree more Jame, this is going to be fun to watch!
I love this guy, I’ve only seen him fight ones and it made me a fan, I knew he sparred with Margarito, so he must be tough, but damn, he never stops punching, never gets tire, really puts on a show, he is the future of boxing, this is the type of boxer Boxing needs and now, sadly lol we will see the end of Mayorga and the rise of a truly entertaining, willing and exiting fighter.
Man this year is not over and I now I can’t wait for 09, good fights coming up, better start saving money for some tickets!
Wow, Angulo retires Mayorga. I mean this could be ugly. Mayorga gets ko’ed by a smallish Mosley, what will a hard punching 154 pounder like Pero do to him? KO round 4 or 5 brutally for Perro, Mayorga is done.
