Saul “Canelo” Alvarez looks former WBC world junior middleweight champion looks to bounce back from his 12-round majority decision loss to Floyd Mayweather Jr. against Alfredo Angulo. The 12-round nontitle fight will be the main event of Golden Boy Promotions’ card and will be televised on Showtime Pay Per View.
Angulo was chosen despite not possessing a title belt. He is a hard puncher and has fought some good but not great fighters, including Gabe Rosario, and has lost to James Kirkland, Kermit Cintron and Lara.
But Angulo, 31, never has fought anyone close to Alvarez’s caliber, and Schaefer said Alvarez will have to carry the promotion and draw fans to the PPV.
Alvarez, 23, was given a boxing lesson by Mayweather when they met Sept. 14. But because of questionable judging from Las Vegas’ C.J. Ross, Alvarez won six rounds on her card, and what should have been a unanimous decision for Mayweather resulted in a majority decision.
The fight with Angulo (22-3, 18 knockouts) is the first of what Alvarez (42-1-1, 30 KOs) hopes will be three ring appearances in 2014.
The original plan was to face Miguel Cotto, but he rejected a multimillion dollar offer from Golden Boy, preferring to wait until early June and a possible fight with Sergio Martinez in New York.
Rafael said “On a call regarding Canelo-Angulo. Richard Schaefer says about 6,000 tix were sold on the first day.” So what are you waiting now buy Canelo Alvarez vs Angulo Tickets now.
