By Jason Kim: Former IBF welterweight champion Kermit Cintron (30-2-1, 27 KOs) finds himself going up against one of the best young fighters in the light middleweight division on Saturday night against the undefeated Alfredo Angulo (15-0, 12 KOs) at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, in Hollywood, Florida.

Cintron vs. Angulo Failing to Interest Boxing Fans
By Dave Lahr: The Kermit Cintron vs. Alfredo Angulo fight is only three days away, but the fight seems to be barely mentioned on the various boxing sites on the net for some reason. I’m wondering why the lack of interest in this fight. I mean you’ve got two excellent knockout punchers with incredible both of them and poor defenses to block shots. Cintron, 29, is kind of in a do or die situation with his career at this point.
Can Cintron Beat Angulo?
By Jason Kim: As much as I like former International Boxing Federation welterweight champion Kermit Cintron (30-2-1, 27 KOs), I think he’s wasting his time at light middleweight. All the advantages that Cintron had over his opponents at welterweight seem to have melted away now that he’s made the ill-guided move to move up in weight to see if he can win a title at light middleweight.
Cintron-Angulo: It’s Do or Die for Kermit
By Pablo Solano: Kermit Cintron has been disappointing as of late. Not because he lost to twice to Sergio Margarito but because he lost TWICE to Martinez on the same night. He lost via KO and Decision. In that fight he was knockdown to what he claimed was head was a headbutt.
Chisora vs. Williams Cancelled; Cintron-Angulo, Berto-Urango on May 30th
By Jim Dower: The bout between British heavyweights Danny Williams (41-7, 31 KOs) and Derek Chisora (9-0, 5 KOs) that was previously slated for June 27th at the O2 Arena dropped off today after the 35-year-old Williams reportedly wanted twice as much money as he originally agreed upon according to Frankwarren.tv.
Berto vs. Urango, Angulo vs. Cintron on May 30th – News
By Jim Dower: In a move that doesn’t surprise me in the least, WBC welterweight champion Andre Berto (24-0, 19 KOs), arguably the weakest of the welterweight champions, will defend his title against light welterweight Juan Urango (21-1, 16 KOs) in a 12-round bout on May 30th at the Seminole Hard Rock hotel, in Hollywood, Florida. Urango, 28, in his biggest fight of his career was defeated by Ricky Hatton in a 12-round lopsided decision in January 2007.
Is Angulo Too Slow To Be Champion?
By David Lahr: Light middleweight Alfredo Angulo (15-0, 12 KOs) opened some eyes on Saturday night in the process of taking out veteran Cosme Rivera in the 5th at the BankAtlantic Center, in Sunrise, Florida. Angulo showed crushing power in hurting Rivera on a number of occasions in rounds three and five, eventually battering him until the fight was stopped in the 5th. The referee Telis Assimenios waited way too long before stepping in and stopping the fight, letting poor Rivera get hit with far too many shots if you ask me.
Angulo Destroys Rivera
By Jim Dower: Undefeated light middleweight Alfredo Angulo (15-0, 12 KOs) was too much for his opponent Cosme Rivera (31-12-2, 22 KOs) on Saturday night, taking him out with a blizzard of power shots in the 5th round at the BankAtlantic Center, in Sunrise, Florida. With Rivera taking big punishment again the ropes late in the 5th, referee Telis Assimenios stepped in and halted the fight at 2:38 of the round.
Angulo Stops Rivera In 5
By Sam Gregory: The opening bout for tonight’s HBO Boxing After Dark saw Mexico’s Cosme Rivera coming into this fight with a record of 31-11 with 22 KO’s. His opponent was the undefeated Jr middleweight Alfredo Angulo with a perfect record of 14 wins and no loses, 11 of those wins coming by way of knockout.
Angulo Squares Off With Rivera In Big Test
By Dave Lahr: Unbeaten light middleweight contender Alfredo Angulo (14-0, 11 KOs) is an old fashioned Mexican fighter, a fighter that is similar to a bigger version of Julio Cesar Chavez and who likes to beat his opponents down with one big blockbuster shot after another. Tonight, Angulo finds himself in with veteran Cosme Rivera (31-11-2, 22 KOs) at the BankAtlantic Center, in Sunrise, Florida. Maybe Rivera has been in with fighters with better skills – speed, movement, jab and punch arsenal – than Angulo, but few if any have the work rate, and heart that he brings with him into the ring.
