What's up with Alfredo Angulo

[chinchekked]

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.

He was offered 750k and a guaranteed date in HBO after that if he lost at 154?? Who the fuck is advising this guy? I don't rate him that highly what a fool to turn that down.

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?

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.

Makes since and this is feasible but the hot rumor/report was that he was demanding at least one million which may have been a way of pricing himself out of a fight he didn't want

Martinez would spank him, he knows that and instead of saying it he asked for a jillion dollors. Plain and simple. If they would have agreed to one mil he would've asked for two so on and so forth
