Cristian Cangelosi has learned a lot from former two-division world champion Paul Malignaggi in the time they’ve known each other. But did he learn the most important lesson of the fight game, to not put himself in position to have to cut his hair in between rounds? They both laugh. “Yeah, I know,” said the 19-year-old Cangelosi, a promising 152-pound amateur from Palermo who competes in the quarterfinals of the Ring Masters tournament in Staten Island Thursday night against Alex Vargas.
The tournament, which basically takes the place of the New York Golden Gloves that isn’t happening because of a dispute with the longtime sponsor of the tourney, the NY Daily News, is Cangelosi’s first exposure to the fight game in America, and as he gets used to life living in Brooklyn, he’s also getting used to a different style of boxing.
