Junior m-weight
Kermit Cintron W12 Alfredo Angulo
Title eliminator
Scores: 116-112 (three times)
Records: Cintron, 31-2-1, 27 KOs; Angulo, 15-1, 12 KOs
It seems as though Angulo -- nicknamed "Perro" or "The Dog" -- bit off a bit more than he could chew. After moving extremely fast through his first 15 fights, his momentum ground to a halt as he was outboxed by Cintron, a former welterweight titlist who fought one of his best fights. Angulo made things entertaining by coming forward and really coming on strong late in the fight when Cintron, who annoyingly fought too often moving backward, clearly started to tire. But give Cintron credit for hanging on for the decision and reviving his career after being written off by many following his second knockout loss to Antonio Margarito and February's gift draw against Sergio Martinez in which Martinez was robbed of a knockout victory and then of a decision victory in the same fight.
