No. 1 junior middleweight contender Alfredo “Perro” Angulo and former World Boxing Association (WBA) super welterweight champion Joachim Alcine hosted their final news conference today at Agua Caliente Casino • Resort • Spa in Rancho Mirage, Calif. Angulo vs. Alcine will be a World Boxing Council (WBC) super welterweight title elimination bout.

Promoted by Gary Shaw Productions and Thompson Boxing Promotions, the Angulo-Alcine will take place this Saturday July 17th at The Show at Agua Caliente Casino • Resort • Spa in Rancho Mirage, Calif.. HBO Boxing After Dark will televise both bouts live, beginning at 9:45 p.m. ET/PT (delayed on the West Coast.)

Tony Morgan (Alcine’s Trainer):
We have just finished up a tough training camp. We’re prepared. Come Saturday, there will be a war. Angulo… Hang on!

Joachim Alcine:
I know it’s not going to be an easy fight with Angulo. He can bang but so can I. I am coming with a mission and that is to make the victory mine.

The guy can fight but I can hit too. I have not underestimated him and he had better not have underestimated me. I wasn't a world champion by accident. I had the wrong type of training (in the past). This camp has been a lot different. I’ve worked harder for this fight that I ever have before.

I have the talent and the right people behind me. That’s the reason that I’ll be at my best on Saturday night.

Clemente Medina (Angulo’s Trainer):
Angulo has been my fighter for years. I can tell you for sure he is coming to win. I don’t know if it will be my KO or decision but I know he will in.

Alfredo Angulo:
When Gary suggested I fight Alcine, I said ‘yes’ right away. This Saturday is going to be a great show. I haven’t underestimated him, I never underestimate anybody. This show is not going to be an exception. I would like to thank Daryl Hudson. I am going to show everyone what a great job Daryl has done with me and my conditioning .
