    Default Is Angulo finished?

    I haven't watched it yet, but apparently he got routed by De La Rosa last night.


    Angulo was a fearsome presence and top contender up until the last couple of years.


    That Canelo fight didn't do him any favors, I suppose.


    I'd like to see a Gabe Rosado rematch now. Rosado could avenge that early TKO loss.

    Looks like it to me, he's just pretty listless and to easy to hit now. Obviously that was a must win for his career on paper, so considering he's seen a few nice paydays he'd be wise to call it a day and do something else.
    Was also bleeding quite a bit from eye on the same side of the face Lara busted up, I believe.

    Guys with his style often have short careers.

    He never quite made it. Kind of sad really.

    angulo was never that good in the first place. he was a typical mexican fighter that was a little above average. i never thought that he would be much more than a gatekeeper for his career.

    In all honesty the guy's a punch bag, yes I've seen him in exciting fight but fighting with
    your face is a recipe for disaster. The guy's brain cells have taken a battering, the amount
    of power punches he's taken, will not do Angulo's health any good what so ever.

    Yup pretty much. He is a slow plodding pressure fighter...and at age 32 he's not getting any better

    I thought he was finished in the Kirkland fight. There was something about his demeanor that looked like he just didnt care anymore and had no desire to be there. When he clipped kirland early, he pounced on him realizing it could in fact "be that easy." After Kirkland weathered the follow up, Angulo looked deflated and you knew mentally he was done and he got ko'd. Ever since then i havent seen that early enthusiasm and fire and you knew he was fighting for the check.
    They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.

    Unfortunately Angulo is a ghost. Yet another all action wear it on the sleeve who burned his candle at both ends. Fast, furious and to a brutal end. The visa delay not to mention the realization that a guy like Kirkland can handily outspeed and out box you took there toll and wasn't the same. Once he was warring with a welterweight in Silva in his comeback and having his head lit up like a bug light in a hornet swarn, you knew it was going to be more of the same. That 24-7 before Alvarez v Angulo was pretty deep, two total contrasts and Angulo just looks like a still waters run deep like loner soul, the bit with his kid. He was a bundle of wound up nerves and emotion crying his friggin eyes out. Just hope someone is looking out for him promotion wise. He easily has the recognition and 'style' to fall into sponge like stepping stone status and absorb some serious damage.
