Undefeated junior middleweight Alfredo "Perro" Angulo scored his tenth consecutive knockout victory tonight, recording a 10th round TKO over Andrey Tsurkan in a battle of top 10 contenders.

The fight was the star attraction of "Night of the Rising Stars II," the tripleheader broadcast live from Pechanga Resort & Casino on HBO Boxing After Dark.

Promoted by Gary Shaw Productions and Ringside Ticket, the broadcast also featured Sergio Diaz, 44-1-1 (24), capturing the WBC interim super welterweight title via a TKO 8 of Alex Bunema, 30-6-2 (16), and 2004 Cuban Olympic Gold Medallist Yuriorkis Gamboa, 14-0 (11), scoring a second-round knockout over the vastly more experienced Marcos Ramirez, 25-1 (16,) in a battle of undefeated contenders.

Angulo, 14-0 (11), a 2004 Mexican Olympian, proved to be the star of the night as he went toe-to-toe with Tsurkan, 26-4 (17), seamlessly switching from orthodox to southpaw while showering Tsurkan, world-rated No. 9 by the WBC and No. 12 by the WBA, with powershots.

Angulo is currently rated No. 6 by the WBO, No. 10 by the WBC and No. 12 by the IBF.

"I was impressed with Tsurkan's resilience and his strength, but I knew I was wearing him down," said Angulo. "I wish his corner had stopped the fight sooner. I was very pleased with my performance. Now I'd like to look for higher rated contenders to get me closer to a world title shot. I think Juliet Cesar Chavez, Jr. would be an incredible all-Mexican super welterweight fight...unless his daddy won't let him play with dogs. After that, let's go to Madison Square Garden on St. Patrick's and take on John Duddy. I'll move up to middleweight for that one."
