Anyone picking Urango tonight?

[ono]

It was just one of them punches. I think Urango's chin will be as solid as it ever was. I think most fighters have that in their locker....it just takes an exceptional set of circusmtances for it to happen.

It just so happens that Urango wound one up with his chin in the air just as Alexander was throwing a Street Fighter style uppercut. Cracking punch, but i don't think it necessarily means Alexander has moved on a level or two.

It's a cracking win though and it's a cracking win for the division really. It's got to be good for Boxing when you have a lot of talent emerging in the same division...especially when most of the guys are young.

Berto and hatton both couldnt do what devon did do. That in my eyes makes him a talent and a half. Sure we can all say it was a close fight going into the 8th but your still knocking out a guy with a heck of a good chin who can also bang

I agree but i can't see Devon landing punches like that on a regular occasion. It was a freak occurrence but also landed beautifully. The fact that it was a close fight also says a little about Alexander aswell, given that Urango is a solid but fairly limited fighter.

I'd have been well impressed if he'd have dominated and then knocked him out. As it stands i'm merely 'impressed'

Anyway, Hatton had the flu. C'mon man you're slipping a bit.

wasn't a close fight at all. i don't know what some of the writers were watching. devon alexander was the one landing uppercuts, hooks, straight left counters all night.

he could've much more easily hugged Urango to death like Hatton and Berto and win an easy decision.
