    Ryan Rhodes to fight Alfredo Angulo for shot at the WBC title

    Angulo for shot at the WBC title
    by Michael Penkman. Published Wed 02 Mar 2011 15:36

    David Coldwell revealed on Twitter that Ryan Rhodes is to contest a WBC light-middleweight eliminator against Mexican Alfredo Angulo.

    He voiced his delight when he posted: “WBC confirm that Ryan Rhodes will face Alfredo Angulo in Final Eliminator – purse bids due April 1st... GET IN!”

    The Sheffield southpaw, whose record stands at 45-4, is ranked at number four in the WBC rankings and has won his last 10 fights.

    Coldwell, his trainer, recently voiced his discontent at the fact two welterweights will be duelling for the light-middleweight strap.

    But now it looks as if current EBU champion Rhodes will be getting his shot at the title - should he overcome 28-year-old Angulo, who has only been beaten once in 19 bouts.

    So if Angulo wins this fight, he should get to fight teh Ginger paper champ, and spark him out and his sink his bandwagon.

        This is a good matchup.

        It may be taking place in the UK or Mexico (hopefully the UK so we'll have an English-language telecast) since Angulo has some problems with crossing the US border.

          Great news, I have not seen Angulo demolish someone in a while.

              And if Canelo wins is your head going to explode?

                He lost to Gary Lockett, Angulo should win this.

                  Angulo will **** him, he'll probably try his best to duck him.

                    Ugh I like Angulo but Canelo has just as much power and is the better overall fighter. I think this fight will be a tough fight for both fighters and I think you are underestimating the kid just becasue he has a fan base.
