How was this an upset? I mean, what were the odds? Freddy has always been a good, durable fighter and I expected him to win; Angulo is shot to ****. Hell, Hernandez could have swept the cards and made it easier on himself if he hadn't punched himself out chasing the early KO.

El Poodle was always a C-level fighter. I want to shake my head back in the days, in his prime when people were talking about him like he's some Elite-level fighter.Comment

More proof that fan friendly styles with little regard for their defense only lasts so long. Perro couldn't remotely compete within the upper echelon of boxing. He's been in some awesome fights but he seriously needs to reconsider his career.Comment

No argument he was always fun to watch, just hate to see guys tipping their hat to telephone poles post-boxing career, as Dad used to say. But if Maidana could be taught late in his career to use the jab, so could Angulo learn a few basic defensive moves etc.Umm, what he exhibited today still falls under the "boxing" umbrella, it just so happens that he has a very crude and elementary style. Plus, I doubt a highly technical style would favor a cement footed, slow handed fighter with a retirees reflexes to match. What works for some fighters won't work for others. Angulo did his best with what talent and assets he had at his disposal in his career and although he was never an elite nor a great fighter throughout his run in the sport, he was always fun to watch and did pretty good for himself considering his limitations.Comment
