Undefeated junior middleweight sensation ALFREDO ?Perro? ANGULO of Mexico , has picked up the scent of his next victim ? former world champion Ricardo Mayorga. The Angulo-Mayorga junior middleweight rumble will take place on February 14, 2009 ? Valentine?s Day ? and will be televised live on HBO.
?I?m going to leave forget-me-knots all over his nicotine-stained face,? growled Angulo, whose nickname ?Perro? translates to ?dog? in English. ?Mayorga isn?t going to have to wait until the last second to get knocked out like he did with Shane Mosley. I?m going after him like a dog on a bone the second the first bell rings. He is so done.?
Added Gary Shaw, Angulo?s promoter, ?I don?t know what possessed Mayorga to accept this fight. Maybe they should be checking the contents on of his cigarettes!?
Angulo (14-0, 11 KOs ), of Mexico is riding a 10-bout victory-by-knockout streak dating back to 2006. The former Mexican Olympian is currently world-rated No. 3 by the WBC, No. 5 by the WBO and No. 8 by the IBF. Mayorga (28-7-1, 22 KOs), from Nicaragua, has a resume that boasts victories over Vernon Forrest, Fernando Vargas and Andrew Lewis and world titles in the welterweight and super welterweight divisions.
Shaw also announced that Ali Funeka (30-1-2, 25 KOs), of South Africa, the IBF?s No. 1-rated lightweight contender and mandatory challenger, would be making his U.S. debut, when he takes on world lightweight champion Nate Campbell (32-5-1, 25 KOs), from Tampa, in the co-main event.
