so is that it for angulo??

Why do so many boxing fans put so much emphasis on undefeated records? An defeated record against a bunch of club fighters means nothing. This loss doesn't hurt Angulo at all. He lost to world class former belt holder who has only lost (or stolen a draw) to world class fighters. Angulo took on Cintron in his 16th professional fights. After 15 fights, Ricky Hatton and Joe Calzaghe were still fighting club fighters at that point.

Angulo showed a lot of heart and chin on Saturday. He didn't quit and made a good fight. He won some rounds late and came away lossing only 116-112. A clear loss, but not a total rout. He pushed Cintron pretty hard in the second half of the fight.

Boxing would be better off if more fighters did what Angulo did and took a risk. I'm sure he'll go back too the drawing board and come back stronger. Guys who fight with his style and heart can always get fights after competitive losses. Look at Andrade. Was his career hurt by losses to Kessler and Bute?

So were Mayweather, Mosley, Hopkins, Roy, Pavlik, etc etc etc.. that's the norm for almost all promising fighters, it's not exclusive to Brits.

David Haye was in with former "world" champions from his 10th fight.

No, it's not exclusive to Brits at all. Mayweather did win his first championship with 17 pro fights, but all the other names you mentioned were brought along slowly as well. I give Haye a lot of credit for his willingness to take tough fights. A few of his countrymen could learn a lesson or two from him when it comes to williness to make meaningful fights while they are still young.
