By Jim Dower: On Saturday night, WBO light middleweight champion Alfredo Angulo (17-1, 14 KO’s) wants to continue with his recent bit of success by hopefully stopping Joel Julio (35-3, 31 KO’s) as quick as possible when they meet at the Citizens Business Bank Arena, in Ontario, California. Angulo, 27, has won two consecutive fights since being beaten by Kermit Cintron by a 12 round decision loss last year in May.
Angulo reportedly wasn’t feeling at his best before the Cintron fight and looked like it, appearing slow and getting beaten to the punch all night long. Angulo has turned things around since then, winning the World Boxing Organization interim light middleweight title in his last fight, a 3rd round TKO win over Harry Joe Yorgey in November.
