No he doesn't, and it's easier to get by with that when you're a 5'11 welterweight not an inch or two shorter and at 154.
Dude, Angulo has a PERPETUALLY HIGH Guard...So Even if it's on ACCIDENT, He's Going to BLOCK Some Shots as a Result...Angulo's Chin ISN'T as Stout, but he IS a BETTER Defensive Fighter than Margarito... REED:mj:
Not Sure... CLEARLY, Angulo has LOSSES N his Future...But REED Also Sees him Possibly Becoming THE GUY @ 154 & Potentially Winning a Title @ 160 (1nce Abraham & Pavlik have Moved Up)... Instead of Hanging Around 1 Division, Picking on SMALLER Men & Loading his Gloves N the Process, REED Actually Expects Angulo to have an ADMIRABLE Career... REED:hammert:
I just read a Vernon Forrest update where he said he has an upcoming date for Showtime but has not been presented with an opponent yet. If it was a few months from now then he could fight Angulo.
Forrest should be fighting Martinez, the interim. Angulo is in the number one slot for that belt and Dzinziruk's...if Forrest isn't ready, maybe he can call out Sergei.
Sometime in 2010...Probably the END of 2010... By the End of THIS Year, REED Expects Angulo to B Considered Top 5 by ALL of the Sanctioning Bodies...By EARLY 2010, he'll have a World Title...N the Next 6-8 Fights, REED Thinks Angulo has a Chance of Being Regarded as THE GUY @ 154...... REED:hammert:
He's already the #1 in two organizations. Of the champions ahead of him...Martinez, Forrest and Dzinziruk, which do you see him beating? Or do you not see him fighting any of them until 2010?
REED Hasn't Seen Dzinziruk & Therefore CAN'T Assess him... Forrest's JAB & RIGHT HAND will Pose Some Problems, but he's NEVER Had a Good Set of WHEELs...Vernon Won't B Right IN FRONT of Angulo, but he WILL B There to B Hit...Angulo can Implement the AGGRESSION that Mayorga Successfully Used Against Forrest, while Adding Superior TECHNIQUE to Mayorga's Approach... As for Martinez, Angulo has a More "Judge Friendly" Style...Angulo will Fight More URGENTLY than Cintron did, Giving Martinez 2 Choices...RUN & PRAY he Gets the Verdict N a BORING Bout OR Stand his Ground (@ Times) & RISK Getting Hit...REED's Banking on the Latter... if, If, IF Angulo Fought Any of them THIS Year, it'd B VERY LATE N the Year... REED:hammert:
So you've intentionally kept it pretty vague. Maybe I should drop it down a class...how do you think Angulo would do against a Sergio Mora or Yuri Foreman or Jorge Julio? Maybe I should be asking about Cornelius Bundrage...he might be more likely.
Vague???:dunno:... REED just Told U that he Thinks Angulo Should Fight for a Title @ the END of '09 (@ the Earliest) or Sometime EARLY 2010...REED Even Discussed How he Thinks Angulo would Matchup w/Forrest & Martinez... Did U Expect REED to Tell U What Specific PUNCH Angulo was Gonna Use to Win a Title & @ What Point of a PARTICULAR Round he'd LAND it???...Were U Expecting REED to Tally Up the Scorecard he Forsee's Being N Angulo's Favor, when he Wins a Title???... Angulo has a "Judge Friendly" Style & Could Potentially Attract a Large Fanbase...Foreman & Mora R SIMILAR to Martinez N that they DON'T Have "Judge Friendly" Styles...It's HARD to Get the Verdict Against an Aggressive, Highly Touted Prospect by RUNNING...The Onus would B on Mora/Foreman/Martinez to Stand Still Loooooooooooong Enough to DETER Angulo in Some Way... Julio & Bundrage Get KO'ed... REED:mj:
Angulo has a "judge friendly" style so the "onus" is on Mora/Foreman/Martinez to "stand still"...meaning what, if they don't, you're going to go on a Double L-inspired rant about how they fought, or won, with "stink"?
When have U EVER Seen REED Go on a Double L Inspired Rant???::.... w/Angulo's Style, Obviously he's Gonna B PRESSING the Fight the Entire Time...Mora/Foreman/Martinez AREN'T Exactly Reknown for their Workrates, so when 1 Guy is DOUBLING or TRIPLING their Punch Output as they AVOID Contact @ All Costs, WHO do U Score the Round for???... NO, they Don't have to Fight FLAT FOOTED Necessarily, but they'd HAVE to Stand Still Looooooooooooong Enough to Land Something MEANINGFUL on Angulo, Enabling them to HURT him OR Buy Time to Get Away... BackPedaling & Landing DEFENSIVE Jabs All Night WON'T Get it Done... REED:hammert:
Margarito Should RIGHTFULLY B Considered "Better" than Angulo @ the Moment, Because Angulo HASN'T Accomplished Shit...But that has NO Bearing on How they'll B Perceived by THE END of Angulo's Career.... REED:hammert:
I am interested to see how formidable Angulo's "pressing" attack is as he moves up in class (and athleticism)...along with how well he maintains his stamina and work-rate late into fights.
I don't see angulo improving a whole lot from what he is now. as he steps up he'll be involved in some hard, career shortening fights. i'll be surprised if he beats anyone as good as clottey, martinez or cotto
Why is Cintron on Friday Night Fights acting like he can't speak English and talking through a Spanish translator?
