Angulo’s heart and guts are the biggest in the light middleweight division! Go Perro!!!
I AGREE Angulo HAVE BIG HEART
Excellent fight, both boxers did very well but Lara’s technique outclassed Angulo’s punching power. Lara deserved the win. Poor guy Angulo because he received a nasty injury, he received too many punches during the fight, nice guts.
Orbital bone fracture. Ouch!
The only thing Angulo was missing that would have gotten him the win was head movement. Had he used head movement he would’ve taken less shots to that eye. Good win for Lara.

Totally crazy fight! The boxer vs the brawler. Angulo always in the middle, always going forward. Lara being an entertaining defender, always getting out of nasty situations, except the times he was dropped of course.
Heartbreak for Angulo, but with a broken orbital bone, what can you do? I bet no one could have continued. Amazing fight nonetheless. :)
