Hatton absolutely must destroy Urango

[killersheep]

Look at this info about the last Urango fight:

Comment by Paul Upham: One of the clearest boxing robberies in recent times was performed on Friday night at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Florida, USA in the main event of ESPN2's Friday Night Fights. 25 year-old Juan Urango won the vacant IBF junior welterweight world title with a twelve round points decision over Naoufel "Chocolata" Ben Rabah. But the fight wasn't even close and the 28 year-old Tunisian, who fights out of Australia, should be the one with the world title around his waist. He put on a boxing clinic over Urango that earned him victory.

This guy should be a cake walk for Hatton with his output, but this will be a good test to
see if his appearance against Collazo was an off-night, or if he is on the slide.

I remember watching that fight on FNF and it was CRAZY that Urango got the decision. Atlas was outraged, the crowd was booing...and rightfully so. I wouldnt even say that Urango's punches were harder, they sure didn't look to be. Nothing of effect landed on rabah the whole fight. If hatton doesnt ko urango with 4-5 then he DEFINITELY not a world class fighter.

Urango is a big looking guy for 140, but that's about all he's got. Once again, it's crazy that hatton is even fighting him. maybe if this was 20 fights ago for hatton it would have been understandable, but it is just crazy at this point in his career. Goes to show his people must have lost A LOT of confidence in him when he fought Collazo.

I don't think much of Urango but Hatton's style actually gives him a chance. I expect Hatton to win but he'll work for it a little.

The only way I see Urango winning is maybe on a bad cut, other than that I think Hatton breaks him down and then knocks him out. I don't think people give Hatton enough credit for the Tszyu fight, he made a tuff S.O.B say fuck it, and quit on his stool.

It's more that people are still waiting to see if he can follow it up. And this fight is a huge step back.

Hattons gonna beat Urango worst then Cotto beat Paulie....

IMO the corner will throw in the towel and or Urango will quit on the stool....

Honestly, he pretty much has to beat him MUCH worse than cotto did Paulie... In fact if this fight went the distance and Urango won several rounds and was effective in stages, it would be terrible for Hatton. I realize you probably mean more the physical damage to Paulies body, not how wide of a margin the scorecards were or anything.. Just Cotto vs Paulie was actually competitive for many rounds, this pretty much shouldn't be the case.

Atlas busting an nut again! F-ing priceless!! But all to true.

Yeah! I ment physical damage... Broken jaw, nose, cut etc. etc. etc.

i thought urango was a southpaw? how come it says all he did was come forward and ocasionaly throw a left jab and right hand? i've never seen him fight and cant find any links anywhere. any one got any?

[Wacko3205]

I'm not really a Hatton fan...so I can unbiasedly say...yep...he needs to be convincing.

He doesn't necessarily have to destroy him...but if Urango goes to war with Hatton & Hatton can't close it...it might look poorly.

Hatton may have issues with all this weight dropping. Never can tell.

As a Hatton fan I would say he needs to impress. He's been out a long time and off of a very unconvincing performance last time out....

I predict a mid fight stoppage for Hatton...

[cockey cockney]

6th round stoppage sounds about right. For Hatton obviously.

[smashup]

Hatton desperately needs to win and win in style to win over the US audience.
I feel he'll be right up for this and batter Urango pretty quickly.

[jbirdy]

has no one thought of what might happen to hattons plans if he loses? will he still get castillo if he loses or doesn't look convincing? i need to see urango fight to make a prediction but f you ask me hatton beats em all at 140.
