Tonight at 10:15 p.m. EDT on HBO in the United States, and Sky Sports in the United Kingdom, HBO Boxing After Dark is back with an explosive main event in the junior middleweight division.
Live from Cancun, Golden Boy 154-pounders Alfredo Angulo (20-1, 17 KO) and James Kirkland (29-1, 26 KO) will collide in what promises to be an all-action brawl. It's sort of a make-or-break fight for both fighters, who have gained hardcore fans' approval over the years with their ferocious styles. Both have experienced professional and personal setbacks since this fight was first dreamed about in 2008. But the fight is going to have fireworks.
The co-feature will see middleweights Peter "Kid Chocolate" Quillin (25-0, 19 KO) and Craig McEwan (19-1, 10 KO) go toe-to-toe in a 10-round fight. Quillin is righting the career ship this year, and a win over the tough McEwan could be the next step toward a title shot for him. McEwan is coming off of his first career loss to Andy Lee in March.
Bad Left Hook will have live, round-by-round coverage tonight from Andrew Fruman. Join us!

Apparently Johnson complained that he won the fight on SHO, btw. For whatever that’s worth, which is nothing, other than something that makes Glen look bad.

Round 6
This one is scheduled for 10. Not a thriller, as it’s an awkward style match-up and a bit one-sided. Harold has it 5-0.
Roy praises McEwan’s effort. He’s giving it his all, got to agree. He tries to lunge forward, but he’s easily tied up. Quillin has his gloves up now, as he edges forward. A nice exchange as both bang home shots at the same time. Now McEwan pushes Quillin back into the ropes. Quillin doesn’t look uncomfortable though, when he’s forced backward there. It’s more a case of McEwan using his body to plow forward, as opposed to punches forcing Quillin backward. Quillin with a really nice counter hook that hurts McEwan. A follow-up combo lands and the ref jumps in and stops it. This wasn’t all that competitive, but that’s a very early stoppage.
TheBoxingBulletin.com
TKO for Quillin
That’s an odd stoppage. McEwan was losing. His eye didn’t look good, but it didn’t appear that he was in any serious trouble and he hasn’t taken that much punishment yet.
TheBoxingBulletin.com
I’m not wild about that stoppage, but between the four unanswered punches and the busted-up eye — I’m not going to pitch a fit about it.
Agree with the previous few comments. It wasn’t a great stoppage, but McEwan wasn’t going to win and probably on the way to getting beat up – so not that big of a deal.

well yeah, i know, but i wouldn’t say those are “unique” training methods… I noticed twice Lampley called their relationship “unique” … seems a little like a double standard…

In a way, I wonder if if ended up flat. Kirkland was tremendously in shape, but in the end not adaptable and not albe to stay out of trouble. “Unique” doesn’t necessarily mean “better.”

other fighters are afraid of her…

I’m worried that Kirkland really is done, and Angulo will walk through him. Otherwise, this is going to be a ton of fun.
My worry to. If Kirkland’s chin is what it was against Ishada, then I give him about 1 1/2 rounds max.

Perfect nickname for a Mexican fighter.

see what I mean? every time he talks about ann wolfe he makes some weird comment.,.. “Exotic” trainer
Bob Arum would promote Lucifer himself if he could put asses in the seats.
even if her methods were unique, there is something messed up about Lampley pointing that shit out all the time

How about "badass"
In a sport designed for badasses, I don’t know if I can name 10 people in the history of the sport who were more badass than Ann Wolfe. Muhammad Ali and Jack Johnson, for sure, but after that you start getting into a lot of toss-ups.

Fuck, great fight. Last fight of the night was the greatest. It almost makes up for Matthyesse, Lara, etc.

So was Olusegun vs Chebah, and Ajose ain’t fighting Morales.

No way Alvarez’ people let Kirkland get within a time zone of him.

IMO Saul is a lot faster than Angulo, and a good bit more talented. I know many are doubters, but I think it’s a VERY interesting fight.

I really think Round 1 is a very good contender for ROTY.

yep, but it seems to be mostly to talk about Ann Wolfe… he called her exotic too, which race scholars would find deliciously messed up at this point in time

I think he meant, "erotic"
…but who knows with Jim Lampley. He is a “whiskey scholar”.

I'm not sure he would have used that word to describe a male trainer with odd training methods

"Baseball is played on the field, not on a calculator."
Call it like it is. That was a sexist comment. No need to hide behind what "scholars" might say.
The comment was fucked up and another example of why Lampley must go. He is the weakest link.
Boxing writer: "Iran, what are you going to do when you retire?"
Iran Barkley: "Rob your house"
Also a racist comment, most Westerners equate “exotic,” when referencing mammals of any species, to African or South Asian animals whether predatory, simply rare, hominid or four legged. So he was essentially calling her an animal, and an African (Blackl) one at that. Or maybe to an “exotic” dancer. But all in all, he can’t win for losing with that one.
