Junior middleweight prospect Alfredo Angulo (14-0, 11 KOs) may get his first real test in 2009. On the other end of the ring, if everything is worked out - former two-division champion Ricardo Mayorga (28-7-1, 22 KOs). Talks have recently taken place between promoter Gary Shaw, Mayorga's attorney Tony Gonzalez and HBO.

"I went to HBO and asked them if I could do Mayorga and they said absolutely. They love the fight," Shaw said. "We're trying to make the fight for February or March. It's the kind of fight that could really establish Angulo, but it's also a test. Mayorga can really crack. Tony was very interested."
