HEY MY FREIND. the reason why is because ANGULO IS BECOMING A DRAW.i know it is not FAIR BUT IN THIS BUSINESS money TALKS TO THE PROMOTERS.......:smoke
Well it was rumored prior to that fight that Angulo had been ill. The HBO commentators even mentioned it during the bout and said Angulo missed a fighter meeting with them since his traveling to Florida may have been delayed due to his illness. On fight night, Angulo looked completely listless lacking his usual intensity. So I don't think it's a stretch to assume he was indeed ill. It's funny to me how a fighter is always criticized for making an "excuse" if they refer to an injury or illness after a loss that may have hampered them during the bout, as if it's completely inconceivable.
True, and by a bunch of people (myself included) who would gladly call into the office sick on some absolute BS.
He was sick,he looked a bit drained and he was only 159 lbs instead of his usual 164-165 but Cintron also fought a very good fight.
if angulo wasnt well why did he fight :S everyone knows if youre not 100% you dont fight. wether youve got a broken hand or coming off of a flu.
I think Angulo was sick and it affected his perfomance against Cintron. I also think Cintron is a lot more confident now and would also fight a better fight in a remacth. I would love to see them do it again.
