Angulo-Kirkland, Quillin-McEwan: My take on these fights
By Chris Williams: The November 5th card headed by Alfredo Angulo vs. James Kirkland is somewhat decent card, but not really blistering hot like some people think it is. I think Angulo is a really good fighter, but Kirkland was already exposed Nobuhiro Ishida last April in a 1st round knockout.
Andy Lee stops McEwan, looks horrible
By Dan Ambrose: Middleweight contender Andy Lee (25-1, 19 KO’s) ended up stopping contender Craig McEwan (19-1, 10 KO’s) in the 10th round last Saturday night on the undercard of the Sergio Martinez vs. Sergiy Dzinziruk bout at the Foxwoods Resort Casino, in Mashantucket, Connecticut. However, it was one of those kinds of wins where you look like a loser even in winning. The problem with the 26-year-old Lee is that he showed the exact same flaws as he did in his 7th round TKO loss to Brian Vera in 2008.
