Alfredo Angulo is an all-action fighter, who turned professional in
Arizona. The
Mexican was considered by many boxing analysts to be the next
Light Middleweight World Champion. On May 17, 2008, he defeated Richard Gutierrez inside of five rounds to take his professional record to 13 wins, 10 by way of knockout. On October 4, 2008, Angulo defeated Ukraine's
Andrey Tsurkan (26-3, 17 KO). Angulo, from the beginning of the round was relentless, averaging over 100 punches per round. He stopped Tsurkan in the 11th round when referee Tony Krebs stepped in. Angulo was scheduled to fight former champion
Ricardo Mayorga on February 14, 2009. However, Mayorga pulled out ten days before the fight after demanding a larger purse. Angulo fought former NABO light Welterweight champion
Cosme Rivera as a replacement and defeated him by fifth-round technical knockout.
WBO interim junior middleweight champion In November 2009, Angulo defeated an undefeated
Harry Joe Yorgey to claim the interim WBO light middleweight title. Although Angulo finished off Yorgey in the third round, he scored a knockdown in the second round while landing 58 of 108 punches (according to CompuBox). A huge right hand did the initial damage as he hurt Yorgey against the ropes. But Angulo did not let him off the hook and continued to pound away for the knockout (KO) win.
First title defense Angulo knocked out
Joel Julio in the 11th round of their bout on April 24, 2010. Angulo stopped Joel Julio with a right cross midway through the 11th round to retain the WBO interim 154-pound title. Angulo earned his third straight KO victory after his only defeat against Kermit Cintron last May.
