Alfredo Angulo Wants Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. To Step Up

•Nov 11, 2008

By Mark Vester

Junior middleweight prospect Alfredo Angulo (14-0, 11KOs) is calling out another unbeaten junior middleweight prospect, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (38-0, 29KOs), to step up to the plate by getting in the ring for an all-Mexican showdown. A member of Angulo's team told ESTO that a fight with Chavez will bump the winner within reach of a title shot.

Angulo is ranked at number 7 by the WBC, while Chavez sits at number 8. While Chavez has fought more than double the amount of pro bouts, Angulo has faced tougher opponents. Chavez, the more popular of the two, is in the spotlight due to his famous father, Chavez Sr. Angulo on the other hand is making a name for himself with a action packed fighting style that many compare to WBA welterweight champion Antonio Margarito.
