Angelo Leo, right, seen here against Tramaine Williams in August, suffered the first loss of his career on Saturday, when Stephen Fulton Jr. beat him to win the WBO super bantamweight title. (Amanda Westcott/Showtime)
If Angelo Leo had another gear, an alternate path that might have led to victory, he never found it never, it seemed, even looked for it.
Perhaps, though, it didn’t matter.
Sometimes, the other guy is just better.

Saturday night at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut, Albuquerque’s Leo lost by lopsided unanimous decision to Philadelphia’s Stephen Fulton Jr.
Leo lost not only a fight, but the WBO super bantamweight title he’d won in August. Gone as well is his perfect record. Leo is now 20-1 with nine knockouts.
