referee was very god
Canelo t whoop on my dog Perro Angulo
People can BOO all they want!! It was a good stoppage by the ref. Well done Tony Weekes, you saved this guy taking anymore uneeded damage.
The perfect come back for Canelo who dominated the whole fight. Stopage seems to be a little bit premature but but better safe than sorry.
i still think that canelo is THE ONE…
Boxing is really screwed up I am a big fan of Angulo . I know everything about him and that was not him fighting Saturday night. If these promoters are going to bring guys in to make there stars look good this is what you are going to get. You can’t blame the Dog for taking the money and running with it. All a guy has to do now is get in shape , make weight and act like he’s fighting for 8 to 12 rounds collect his check and go home. We saw Clotty do it not the Dog.This is not boxing these are nothing more than fixed fights.
Horrible stoppage and Angulo was also playing along with the promoters. The most blatantly fixed fight I’ve seen in a loooong time. The guy wasn’t even throwing at sparring power in the first couple of rounds. Canelo is a great white hope by the looks of things and they need him to sell tickets to the whites and Mexicans and make it seem like there is a legitimate threat to Mayweather. Canelo did well against Money and he is a skilled fighter but we don’t know how skilled because the dude is in so much fixed fights. We also know that he has been the beneficiary of controversial decisions in fights that went the distance too. From now on when I hear ‘Canelo’ my response will be “meh”….
