    He looked great. What impressed me was how smart he was. He was cool and collected even though he knew that the guy had no chance, he tactically broke him down.

    Angulo would embarrass Kirkland.

        his defense has improved a lot, and I was impressed with his variety of punches. Its also amazing how he can throw 100 punches a round...It really doesnt seem like he throws that much. I think its because he kind of bursts, and isnt constantly throwing.

        bad things? hes a little bit slow. and although I like how calm he stayed, I kind of wish he would have started loading up on his shots every once in a while.

        Id like to see him fight someone that decides to box a little bit more, to see how he would deal with that type of fighter.

          You have to be tough when you spar with rugged fighters like Margarito for years. He also throws a lot of punches from many angles and works the body well like Tony. Sparring brutal fighters makes you mentally and physically tougher all around.

          Tyson's sparring partner Oliver McCall was tough as nails and has never been down in the ring or during sparring.

          JCC Sr.'s chief sparring partner -------> Jose Luis Castillo ... enough said

          Both Barrera & Morales both used big puncher/brawler Valero to prepare for Pacquiao

          ODLH used Margarito

          etc......

            I think he already is one of the very best body punchers in the game. With only 14 fights I can see plenty of upside as long as he doesn't absorb too much punishment. Angulo has learned well from his sparring with Margarito.

              He's almost just like Margarito except with better technique and straighter punches. I love watching the guy fight it's never dissapointing. Does he have a chance to get outboxed by someone faster and slick yeah, but I feel he still has a good career.
