Bantamweight contender Michael Angeletti headlined his first card on Saturday and now hopes to land a fight with the titleholders and big names at 118lbs. 

Angeletti, now 14-0 (8 KOs), defeated Eros Correa in the 10-round main event at the Boeing Center at Tech Port in San Antonio, Texas. The bout was streamed on ProBox TV. 

“I don’t think of it as the main event, because I didn’t want to make myself nervous or make myself intimidated,” Angeletti told BoxingScene. “I thought of it as any other big fight.”

Angeletti’s win over Correa, now 15-2 (9 KOs), was his biggest win so far. Still, Angeletti didn’t see it as a flawless performance despite all three judges scoring the bout 99-91. 

“I would grade myself a B, like an 85 out of 100,” Angeletti said. “The jab was the key to the fight. I stuck to the straight punches.”

In the 10th and final round, Angeletti began to walk down Correa in spots, even dazing him with a sequence of punches ending with a left hook. 

“I wanted to finish the show strongly since I was the main event,” Angeletti said. “I wanted to push the pace, and when I saw the opportunities, I let my hands go in the last round.”

Angeletti, who is ranked No. 15 by the IBF, believes a life-changing opportunity could happen at any time.

“That call could happen at any moment,” he said. 

One man stands above the rest at bantamweight: Junto Nakatani. On Sunday, Nakatani unified the IBF and WBC titles, stopping Ryosuke Nishida in the sixth round. Though given Nakatani’s post-fight comments after his victory about a future fight with undisputed junior featherweight champion Naoya Inoue, his future at bantamweight is uncertain.

“He [Nakatani] is listed at the weight right now, so I don’t recognize him as a 122lber, but if he moves up, he moves up,” Angeletti said. “I plan on seeing him in the future. I want the big names. I am knocking on the door and I am ready for all of them.”
