  • I typically don’t have a problem with these older guys fighting at a certain level, but Angulo is an exception. He’s had 34 fights in total in his career, but he’s probably taken 70 fights worth of damage. I don’t think he should be fighting regardless of who’s in the other corner, but that’s just my opinion.

    • His defence has been horrible for years. I was shocked when he beat Quillin a little while back. Never watched that fight maybe I will one day. He makes Gatti look like Pernell Whittaker. Can’t miss him. Saw his last fight and while he showed the usual heart and chin…he got hit a lot by an unknown guy. Sean O’ Sullivan was a bit like that but was not around nearly as long. From what I hear the damage for him is bad. I know he went missing at one point and people were very concerned.

      • Pete I remember right before the Quillin fight (good fight btw, I’m sure it’s on YouTube) – I literally thought Quillin would come out and stop Angulo in the very first round and he won that fight, so full credit to him. But he’s spent a career, like you said, blocking punches with his face and his ribs, including against Quillin.
        Boxrec has him fighting Fidel Monterrosa Munoz, who is 40-28-1, has 32kos and been stopped 24 times himself. He stopped an undefeated fighter in his last fight but had lost his previous ten and was stopped in nine of them. I do not think Munoz will beat Angulo, but I do expect him to land a few good punches on him and it’ll be a few more too many he’s taken.

    • @Lucie ….and about 20 fights worth of damage in the Kirkland fight alone. He must be in dire need of money to still be doing this..

      • I just watched a little highlight of that fight USF and I hear Jim Lampley say, “….delivering more punishment in the first 2 rounds than most fighters will take in 12 rounds”. Just a savage, savage fight.

    • I was thinking the exact same things. I was shocked he had only 34 fights because he’s taken A LOT of damage. I thought for sure the guy was totally retired.

  • Sad to see perro fighting for pennies just to make another day! This dude took plenty of punishment in every fight! He was a punchingbag in most of his top fights! I hope he doesn’t get hurt!

  • Dear God the restaurant down the street is hiring…YOU are shot/ AND never ever was a good fighter. Good at being hit. Boxing reeks of this shit.

  • Angulo could be used as a study tool for the effects of CTE due to the amount cerebral damage he has taken through his career. So sad, but true. Personally, funding from a clinical project to pay him for a study would probably be more than what he is getting paid in this upcoming fight.

  • During his prime, Angulo was a rough, tough son of a gun; but I prefer to see him retire.

    Folks (including myself) can say what they want about his slow hands, bad foot movements and bad defense; but Angulo figuratively grabbed his lunch/hard hat, coughed a few times and went to work in an old school Ford truck.

    Much love and respect for professional fighters who try their best.

  • And unlike the person on the other thread who had a problem with the Francisco Vargas stoppage on the Spence-Ugas undercard I totally agree with that stoppage because Vargas has been punched way too much in his career and got decked by the first solid one he took. He is shot much like Angulo. Angulo is tougher than a $2 steak but someone needs to protect him from himself and these flesh peddlers out there. There are a lot of those type guys out there and it’s a shame that people enjoy watching long term damage happen in real time
