While NBA fans wonder what is next for the NBA warriors, boxing fans have an excellent Golden Boy Promotions fight to happen on Thursday night in the Fantasy Springs Casino at Indio, California, as Jousce “Tito” Gonzalez and Jose “El Feroz” Angulo square off in the main event of the card at 135 pounds.
These are two incredibly talented young fighters, so this should be an incredible bout between the two boxers.
Boxing Score Record
Gonzalez is coming off a sixth-round KO win over Jairo Lopez back on April 21. Jose Angulo has been doing well and is coming off a fourth-round KO over Jesus Vargas back on February 27, 2021, so he is coming off a long layoff since his last fight.
Gonzalez vs. Angulo Betting Analysis
Gonzalez Analysis
Jousce “Tito” Gonzalez has been one of the best young up-and-coming boxers as he is just 27 years of age and has recorded a 12-0-1 record with 11 knockouts.
He is currently on a four-fight winning streak as he picked up a knockout victory over Jairo Lopez in a non-competitive fight back on April 21.
Gonzalez’s Winning Streak
He has shown absolutely no difficulty in ending the fights with a single strike, as 11 of his 12 professional victories have come with a knockout (91.7 percent), so there is a high probability of a knockout coming here as well.
He needs to prove that he is not just taking easy fights to bolster his record and defeat an incredible fighter here if he wants to gain that much more respect in the boxing world.
Jose Angulo Analysis
Jose “El Feroz” Angulo has been someone that is getting ready to see a long and solid boxing career as he has a 14-2 professional record with seven knockouts at just 25 years old.
He’s on a two-fight winning streak as he is coming off a TKO victory over Jesus Vargas in a highly non-competitive affair.
Angulo’s Knockouts
Seven of his 14 career wins have come via knockout (50 percent), including each of his previous four wins, so he has shown the ability to have some power as of late.
He still has a lot to learn in the boxing ring as he attempts to push his career in the right direction with only one amateur boxing fight under his belt.
It will definitely be an interesting watch to figure out how he will look as he takes on an accomplished fighter in Jousce Gonzalez here.

Jousce Gonzalez vs. Jose Angulo Betting Preview
As of this writing, there have not been any official betting lines that have been listed for this fight. However, it is clear that Jousce Gonzalez will be considered the favorite in this fight, based on experience and abilities alone.
Gonzalez vs. Angulo Betting Prediction
These are two of the youngest boxers in the professional boxing world, and they are doing very well for themselves.
However, the level of competition that both have seen is a bit different as Gonzalez is fighting decent competition, while we can not verify how well most of Angulo’s opponents are heading into this bout.
The size difference is not much. They are an inch different, but the power behind their strikes shows a huge difference.
Gonzalez’s Strike
Gonzalez ends his fights quickly while Angulo has to fight more to make sure he can keep his opponent down and end up fighting more rounds in his fights.
Gonzalez is able to find more of an opening and take advantage of it, while Angulo has not figured that part out yet.
Angulo’s Strike
Jose Angulo is just not polished enough inside of a boxing ring in order to be considered a serious threat in this fight.
Jousce Gonzalez has fought on a Golden Boy Promotions card before; this will all be a new adventure for Jose Angulo, and some nerves will be heading into this fight.
Then we also have to address a little bit of a culture shock that can happen here as well. Gonzalez is from Glendora, California, so he will have a distinct home-crowd advantage.
Who to Bet On?
Angulo is fighting out of Guayaquil, Ecuador, and has not really fought on American soil, so the difference between the two countries are going to play a little bit of a factor in this fight as well. Just as NBA odds are impacted by home NBA teams, boxing odds work the same way.
Jousce Gonzalez seems to be the more well-rounded fighter in this matchup and should be able to pick up a unanimous decision victory over Jose Angulo in this eight-round main event fight on Thursday. Head to any sportsbook and take Gonzalez.
