Peter Quillin vs. Alfredo Angulo - September 21, 2019

[Ruthless-RKO]

Former middleweight world titlist "Kid Chocolate" Peter Quillin wasn't without a fight for long.

He will face brawler Alfredo Angulo in a 12-round super middleweight bout that will headline a Premier Boxing Champions card on Sept. 21 (Fox Sports 1 and Fox Deportes, 10:30 p.m. ET) at Rabobank Arena in Bakersfield, California, PBC announced on Thursday night.

Quillin was originally supposed to face former super middleweight titlist Caleb Truax in a world title elimination fight on Aug. 31 -- a rematch of their April 13 accidental head butt-induced, second-round no decision -- but Truax suffered a torn right Achilles tendon and withdrew from the fight earlier this week.

But Quillin was quickly rescheduled to face Angulo, who is years past his best days but typically delivers action in his fights.

"Peter Quillin versus Alfredo Angulo promises to be a good, old-fashion slugfest with two fighters looking to prove they're ready for a world title fight next," said Tom Brown, president of TGB Promotions, which is promoting the card.

Quillin (34-1-1, 23 KOs), 36, of Brooklyn New York, has been fairly inactive in recent years. The first fight with Truax was only Quillin's third fight since a first-round knockout loss to Daniel Jacobs in a 2015 middleweight world title bout.

"It looks like the Caleb Truax fight wasn't meant to be, but this fight against Angulo is an important fight for me to establish myself in this division," Quillin said. "I'm ready to go 12 rounds right now. I just have to stay ready and stay in shape because we've had a great camp where we were able to build on certain things. This is what was meant to be, and I'm going to make the most of it with a great performance on Sept. 21."

Angulo (25-7, 21 KOs), 37, of Mexico, has not been a factor in the title hunt since back-to-back 10th-round knockout losses at junior middleweight to Canelo Alvarez (2014) and Erislandy Lara (2013) but has always been a fan favorite. He is coming off a second-round knockout win over Evert Bravo on April 20.

"I am looking forward to showing my fans the best Alfredo Angulo on Sept. 21," Angulo said. "I have been working hard towards this opportunity. This is a chance to move closer to a world title and with hard work and the support of my team I'm going to win that title."

In the co-feature, hot prospect Chris Colbert (12-0, 4 KOs), 22, of Brooklyn, will meet former junior lightweight world title challenger Miguel Beltran Jr. (33-7, 22 KOs), 30, of Mexico, in a 10-round lightweight fight.

Two 10-round welterweight fights round out the main card: Terrel Williams (18-0, 13 KOs), 35, of Los Angeles, against Puerto Rico's Thomas Dulorme (24-3-1, 16 KOs), 29, a former world title challenger, and Jesus Ramos (10-0, 9 KOs), 18, of Casa Grande, Arizona, against Rickey Edwards (12-3, 3 KOs), 29, of Paterson, New Jersey.

There will also be coverage of preliminary action (Fox Sports 2, 8:30 p.m. ET) featuring Dominican Republic native Jeison Rosario (19-1-1, 13 KOs), 24, of Miami, against Bakhram Murtazaliev (16-0, 13 KOs), 26, a Russia native fighting out of Oxnard, California, in a junior middleweight world title elimination fight.

Former super middleweight world titlist Jose Uzcategui (28-3, 23 KOs), 28, a Venezuela native fighting out of Mexico, is also likely to land on the card against southpaw Denis Douglin (22-6, 14 KOs), 31, of Brooklyn. The fight would be Uzcategui's first since he lost his world title by unanimous decision to Caleb Plant in January.

It's been almost 7 years since the last time Angulo beat an opponent with a boxrec rating of 2 or higher. But whatever, Quillin hasn't beaten many opponents of Angulo caliber or better in a while.

[Paci]

I do think both guys should hang them up. I do think that Quillin spurs...

[jewboypgh]

Interesting fight because both guys are well past their prime.
I like that Russian Murtzliev. One tough Kid

[chuck9788]

I think Quillin still has potential .... Angulo on the other hand is shot and I doubt that he makes it to the 6th round in this contest.

[gilgamesh]

Much easier guy for Quillin than Truax. Angulo has little left in the tank, and just walks right in there with little defense, and he's pretty damn slow to boot.

Quillin dispatches him inside 4 if he attacks like he means business. I really can't imagine him doing so little as to have to win by decision, he'd have to just be in cruise control the whole fight, and never get out of 2nd gear for that to happen.

Angulo is such an inviting target, I figure Quillin will be more than happy to take the invitation. It's been a while since he's had a notable win.

[Onetimeonly]

Wouldn't be at all surprised if angulo won.

What makes you think Quillin is that far gone?

Huh? What makes you think he isn't? How many years has it been since he looked good?

[Onetimeonly]

Though I never rated him much anyway.

I mean a long time, but it's been years since Angulo has looked good as well, and both at their best Quillin looked a hell of a lot better than Angulo ever was able to look. Considering I'd assume they're both about equally as inactive, and irrelevant these days, Quillin is still just plain the better of the two.

I definitely wouldn't agree quillon looked at all better when they were at their best, much less a lot better. Perhaps my memory is fading, when did Peter look so special? I agree he's a favorite here, but I definitely don't remember him fighting a hell of a lot better than anguli did against Lara.

[diddy]

Quillin. EASILY. Angulo has been a corpse for years. Cmon people.

Yes your memory is fading. He's looked better than Angulo a lot, and he'll look better than Angulo a month from now too. By a lot.

[margaret thatcher]

I remember Angulo looking shot 7 years ago

Well that settles it.

Do you remember when quillin looked really good?

[margaret thatcher]

Nah, though I expect him to win this pretty easy. Angulo 7 years ago was struggling and getting hurt by journeymen like Jorge Silva. I think he's far more faded and that Quillen probably has enough to beat him up w/o trouble

September 21st will settle it.

I don't disagree, just wondering wtf Gil is talking about.

You're all about "the eye test" to talk about how good Spence is right? Well call it the eye test then. Quillin is better than Angulo, and he'll beat him easy on September 21st.

I actually figure it would've been more of a struggle for Quillin in 2011 or something than it would be right now.

[gilgamesh]

September 21st will settle it.

How?

Quillin will beat Angulo easy. That's how.

Sure, eye test is perfectly fine. I just have no idea why you can't tell me when Peter struck your eye as being a level above. If it's my memory, perhaps you could name a fight or two to remind me. All I'm thinking is winky and Lee, didn't look particularly good in either to me. Whatever, not that important. 2011 would be a much more pertinent convo to what you're quoting. Lol
