Super middleweights Alfredo Angulo (34-2-1, 23 KOs) and Peter Quillin (26-7, 21 KOs) put on an entertaining fight we won’t soon forget on Saturday night at the Rabobank Arena in Bakersfield, California.
Alfredo Angulo: ”I felt great in there tonight and my trainer Abel Sanchez helped me a tremendous amount. I haven’t felt this good in years and now I showed in the ring tonight that my passion for fighting is still there. I hope to continue as it is what I do for me, my family and the fans.”
Peter Quillin: ”This is hard to swallow right now so I will be thinking about what I am going to do next. I didn’t feel myself in there but thought I boxed and moved, landed my shots and fought the best I had in me tonight. I know I didn’t execute the way my corner wanted me to either. Wasn’t the outcome I was expecting but that’s boxing I guess.”
Saturday’s whole FS1 telecast was terrific with two exciting ten round scraps and a pair of highlight-reel knockouts.

I’m as happy for Abel Sanchez as I am Alfredo. To have guided GGG to the status of where he is now getting a 300 million dollar contract and just getting dumped because Golovkin couldn’t pull the trigger enough to beat Canelo, although I thought he had at least won the first time was pretty unappreciative and ungrateful. GGG has to live with it though and if hes fine with it, it is what it is. Life is full of those kind of people which makes it a fcked up planet to live on.
I think Sanchez was dumped by GGG because of his honest comments after the 2nd fight. Sanchez praised Canelo for the way he fought, and criticized Golovkin for not let the all things go on the last 2 critical rounds. Most of the times honesty has some negatives side effects. Sanchez will still building his legacy as a trainer. Golovkin will just be remembered as a tough dude for some time, but not enough to be considered to be a hall of fame candidate, much less an all time great
Trainer can only do so much and is unable to turn back time. They put on a good fight but both are beyond shot.
I agree. It was very frustrating not seeing him go for broke. Almost as frustrating as watching Emmanuel Steward screaming at Vladimir to let his hands go. Hes like you throw 3 shots and wait 90 seconds to follow up. So funny.
I love Boxing,Have been a fan since right before Sugar Ray Leonard Days!!! I have to say that both Peter Quillin and Alfredo Angulo ,even after a crowd-pleasing fight should retire for their health sake..The looks on their faces and balance after receiving a punch , my oh my!!
