(Photo credit: Esther Lin/Showtime) By Allan Fox: Sounding very suspicious, Floyd Mayweather Sr. questioned after tonight’s fight between Alfredo Angulo (22-4, 18 KO’s) and Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (43-1-1, 31 KO’s) why Angulo wasn’t trying to hit Canelo with full power on his shots like he’d one in the past in his fights. From Mayweather Sr’s perspective, Angulo wasn’t trying to hit Canelo hard at all in their fight on Saturday night at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada, and he wonders why he didn’t.
Canelo won the fight by a 10th round stoppage, and dominated every round. But what was missing was Angulo’s own power. He always punches much harder than what he showed tonight, and suddenly his power disappeared from his last fight in June of last year to this one.
