Cintron won the fight, a WBC junior middleweight elimination match, 116-112 on all three scorecards. He survived the previously unbeaten Angulo’s power, stuck to his game plan and scored the most noteworthy win of his nine-year pro career.

The rugged Mexican contender knocked out overmatched Harry Joe Yorgey (22-1-1, 10 KOs) in the third round Nov. 7 in Hartford, Conn., and recorded a sensational one-punch, 11th-round knockout against Joel Julio (35-4, 31 KOs) two weeks ago in Ontario, Calif.
