Super welterweight contender Alfredo Angulo reminded boxing fans why we fell in love with him long ago, scoring a savagely beautiful third round knockout of Harry Joe Yorgey in the televised co-feature.

Both fighters came in below the super welterweight limit; Angulo was 153 ½, while Yorgey a shade lighter at 153 ¼.

A competitive fight threatened to surface in the first, but the inevitable surfaced as early as the second. Angulo, who was aggressive throughout (does he fight any other way) began to dial in with the right hand, to which Yorgey could do nothing more than block with his face.

The all-power attack from Angulo resulted in three separate knockdowns, though only two of them official. A right hand caught Yorgey in the corner, snapping back his head and leaving him open for a volley of punches before slumping to the canvas – before being caught with even more power shots.

A cleaner sequent of events transpired in the third, including another right hand that had Yorgey knocked out cold before he even hit the ground. Referee Johnny Callas, who played the role of spectator throughout even though his presence was required on more than one occasion, allowed Yorgey to take further unnecessary punishment before he eventually collapsed to the canvas in the proverbial heap.

The well-overdue ending finally came about, at 1:03 of the third round.

Angulo continues to put the Kermit Cintron loss earlier in the year further away in the rearview mirror. The 2004 Mexican Olympian improves to 17-1 (14KO) with the win, his second straight since the aforementioned loss six months ago.

Yorgey loses as a professional for the first time in his career, falling to 22-1-1 (10KO).
