Last time I heard about him he was turning down a reportedly great deal to fight Sergio Martinez for the middleweight title. He is a good fighter but I am curious as to what he has planned next after turning down a good money fight with good conditions.
Shaw won't let him fight Dzinzurik either. I'm not sure what he'll do. Probably a gimme fight.Quote:

Martinez at middle would be a horrible style mesh for him, would kill any momentum he rebuilt after CINTRON out boxed him . He's improving and I believe coming along great as a pressure & close fighter,but no secret on what can be weaknesses. I believe there is something to be said these days for guys not just jumping at the cash to hastly. A fine line.
Didn't think of it this way and you may be correct that he knows his limitations and slick movers will always give him problems, but, is that another way of saying he ducked Martinez?Quote:

Martinez would have made Angulo look like an amateur, wouldn't stop him but would land flurries and stay on the outside, Angulo would miss then get countered, i could easily see Martinez winning a shutoutQuote:

anyone with the power angulo possesses is always a threat to KO their opponents. angulo may not have spify footwork and his punches may be a tad slow, but he's dead accurate and he throws really nice combinations with power. i see martinez outboxing angulo with his speed and movement for about 4-5 rounds but then i see angulo bringing in the heat and making it a very interesting battle. the question is, can martinez last 12 rounds with the very dangerous angulo?
I honestly don't think Angulo hits all that hard and Sergio has a pretty decent chin and VERY solid defense and it's not like Sergio wilts in the championship rounds either.Quote:

He no brain. He have a case of the dumb.
If Alfredo Angulo couldn't break Kermit Cintron's will, there's no way he will break Sergio Martinez's will. Who dealt with the pressure of Pavlik, Williams.Quote:

Yeh I don't think he can dress it up any other way. More of a sense move then dollars and cents . A guy only gets so many second chances and Angulo can be out boxed, simple. Martinez already had a larger, straight forward Angulo-esq power guy last outing and by fights end was clowning Pavlik, a natural middleweight. I don't think he's scared and has no problem taking three to give one, but regardless of dog collar, he's no dummy.Quote:

But the guys gotta step up to the plate.
Something tells me Angulo will end up getting a shot at Bundrage...
