Canelo Beats Down Angulo For TKO Win in Ten

•Mar 9, 2014

By Luis Sandoval - MGM Grand, Las Vegas - Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (43-1-1, 31 KO) made a successful comeback after his loss last September against Floyd Mayweather as he dismantled Alfredo “Perro” Angulo (22-4, 18KO) and stopped him in the 10th round of their Junior Middleweight contest. If Alvarez was looking to redeem himself for his performance in his first professional defeat last year, he did that and more as he put a beating on Angulo who was never able to work himself into the fight. Angulo is known to take a punch to give one but in this case he took one punch too many as referee Tony Weeks was forced to step in and call a halt to the action much to the dismay of the crowd on hand.
