Alfredo Angulo vs Joachim Alcine set for July 17th

HBO originally was planning just a single fight for the telecast, but as an added bonus it worked out a deal with Shaw to add interim junior middleweight titlist Alfredo "Perro" Angulo (18-1, 15 KOs).

Angulo will open the card against former titleholder Joachim Alcine (32-1, 19 KOs) of Montreal, who has won two in a row since losing his belt to Daniel Santos in July 2008.

It shapes up as Angulo's toughest test other than when he faced Kermit Cintron, who handed him his first defeat. Angulo is coming off a strong performance in an 11th-round knockout of Joel "Love Child" Julio on April 24.

" 'Perro' makes exciting fights," Shaw said. "He's getting more exposure. It will make the show a bigger show. I think it's a really high level fight for Angulo."

On a nice HBO undercard bout on Saturday, Alfredo Angulo looks to continue his ascent up the ranks when he faces former champ Joachim Alcine. Angulo is fast becoming a great draw—an exciting and aggressive fighter who slowly wears out his opponents. His attack to the head and body are strong and he is tough and difficult to dissuade. Alcine, though a world champion with only one loss in an 11-year career, is no longer on anyone’s radar and looks to get his career on the right track with a big win here.

Every dog has its day. Watch out! This dog not only barks, he'll bite your ass.

Angulo should wear down Alcine by round 5-7 and deposit him permanently into the canvas.
