Around SBN: Cal RB Jahvid Best Seriously Injured, Carted Off Field

Promoters Gary Shaw and Don King are close to finalizing a Feb. 14 doubleheader on which rising junior middleweight contender Alfredo Angulo will face ex-titlist Ricardo Mayorga in a battle of brawlers, Shaw told ESPN.com. Shaw said he and King have made a deal on the money but King was still going over some details with HBO. "Angulo's Valentine's Day gift for Mayorga will be a kiss goodbye out of boxing," Shaw said. The other bout would be unified lightweight titlist Nate Campbell defending against South African mandatory challenger Ali Funeka, who recently signed with Shaw. King and Campbell have to work things out between them. Funeka is not known in the U.S., but he turned in a devastating fourth-round knockout performance against Zahir Raheem in July to earn the title shot.

Angulo-Mayorga sounds awesome

I think with Angulo’s lack of footwork and head movement, he’s at real risk against a full-force, wild brawler like Mayorga. But I think we can say Angulo can take a good shot, even if his only real test in taking shots so far has come from Richar Gutierrez as far as I’ve seen. I’ve loved the Angulo-Mayorga idea since it was first brought up right after the Mosley fight; book it, dudes!

Campbell-Funeka is interesting, too. Funeka is a freak.
