"Blacktino" Bags "White Tiger"!!

    Light middleweight Juan Carlos "Blacktino" Candelo of Houston exposed the flaws in the game of Chase "White Tiger" Shields.

But this fight was not about Shields' weaknesses. It was about the strength of JC Candelo, who stated to this website almost five years ago that he would slug his way back into title contention.

    It was a huge step up in class for the the 32-year-old Shields.

Shields brought a record of 29-2-1 with 14 KO's, but had almost exclusively fought inferior opponents with losing records.

    The 35-year-old Candelo (29-10-4, 20 KO's) is a former NABF light middleweight champion who had gone 12 rounds with Winky Wright in challenging for the world IBF title in 2003, and Candelo went ten rounds in losing to Verno Phillips in 2005.
