so is that it for angulo??

This is what every young prospect goes through after their first loss. He's done no hope for a title, people write em off. Its the guys that come back and get better that are truely destined to be greats. I will see how he bounces back before writing him off. He's definitely not too old to learn new tricks.

Amen.

Is alfredo now destined for 2nd tier mediocrity only getting to appear on after card undercards fighting mid level opposition from now until the end of his career?

It is completely possible to come back from a bad night and im pretty sure the interest is still there. But getting outfought and outworked by cintron doesnt bode well for the future does it??

We looking at another mayorga or perhaps a guy who just had a really bad night??

rematch anyone

They were talking during the fight that he had problems making weight. It's not a coincidence that people usually have bad performances when they struggle making weight.

As I said in another post I started to feel less optimistic about Angulo winning after hearing the talk about that. Even so, Cintron's by body language it looked like he wanted to quit at times.

I also think Angulo's corner is partly to blame. Cintron was doing one nice thing to negate Angulo's right hand: He was rolling up his left shoulder and tucking his chin under it, a la PBF. Plus he was moving well.

Later in the fight Cintron was clearly bothered by Angulo's body attack. If they had urged Angulo to go after the body earlier it would have slowed him down, and his hands would have dropped. I think the outcome could very well have been different.

It also seems that anyone fighting Cintron should practice stepping back and throwing upper cuts, because even though he's worked on it, he still bends way over esp. when he's tired.
