Thread: Anyone picking Urango tonight?

I'm not personally, I'm not totally sure what I think about Alexander, I haven't seen him a whole lot, but I don't think it takes a great boxer to outbox Urango by any means. He is strong, but he doesn't set up his power well, isn't busy enough and is very very slow on his feet.

I think it will be a dull fight, fairly uneventful, 118-110 type scores for Alexander. Urango could catch him but he just never gets out of first gear and if Alexander is what some people think he is then he should be able to see Urango's single shots coming.

I think people forget that the only fight Urango lost at 140 lbs was to Ricky Hatton at a time when The Hitman was considered the best 140 pounder in the world. Urango is no push over, but I think he'll have a lot of trouble with the speed of Alexander

Alexander to win by unanimous decision

I got Urango. I became a fan during the Bailey fight. I thought that no one could take a clean connection of Bailey's right hand, but Urango did, got back up & kept on coming. For me he's about the most durable guy in boxing right now. No real skills, just great conditioning, chin & thudding power. Not normally my kind of fighter but I've made an exception.

It would probably be better from a point of view of the sport if Alexander won as the media appear ready to designate him the next big thing, so I wouldn't be upset if he won.

I really want to watch, but the power cuts we're experiencing seem to aim for about 4 in the morning, meaning I'm debating whether to stay up & risk it or whether to just dl it tomorrow.

I'll be that guy. Urango is a wrecking ball. Alexander will be clearly ahead in the middle rounds when he tries to get cute and Urango makes short work of him. Urango has hurt every fighter he's faced, Alexander should be no exception.

I'll second that my good man.

I like Urango. He's a warrior. And he may be a bit slow and one dimensional but he has a granite chin, good stamina and packs a good punch.

Have to go in on it as well.Alexander has all the speed and promise you could hope for in a young turk but he's faced nothing and no one as deep as Urango.For as slow a foot as he is...Urango is tremendously physical,strong and able to change momentum with one punch power.See it getting inside mid to late and Devon will not be able to stay away forever...and don't see nearly the power/experience to keep Urango off.

Ohhh and if anyone gets a link to this please hook a brother up.Danke

He will always be in the fight, he can fucking bang and is one of the hardest hitters around 140lb's. He will get his ears boxed off though IMO

He is tough, there is no doubt about it. I would be capital letters shocked if Alexander stopped him. And he's got power but he has had a hard time setting up those shots against guys I consider less evasive than Alexander.

How long till this starts? If it starts in 5 hours or something I can't be arsed with staying up.

I think Urango might well catch him at some point and then he takes over and imposes himself. Might take a whilse to find his mark though. Should be a decent enough fight.

I got Alexander to take a win similar to the way Berto did

Urango posses the best head movement of the sport imo. But I got Alexander by decision.
