Can Urango beat Hatton..? (contains Urango interview)

[amat]

I love the Jesus line I'm one of the few who hasn't seen Urango fight but I do know that Hatton is class at 140, and Urango will have his work cut out for him.

[p4pking]

I just rewatched some of Urangos fights & he has good defense. He looks like a mini Tyson with guard up & chin tucked & some head movement. And throws to the body well. Hatton will have the speed advantage for sure.

After watchin him again I am more excited about the fight. I still dont think Urango can beat him but it should be good.

People say he was unimpressive against Rabah but damn he was running like a bitch, when Rabah stood still he took some hellacious leather, Urango had only bad intentions, true power but no real southpaw awkwardness, this fight on paper isn't even as exciting as the picture in my head. Both men will be hurt in this fight, no doubt.

I only just saw that fight recently on Friday fightnight (in UK) and your 100% right, Rabah ran a LOT in that fight. Urango does have good defence, movement, handspeed and carries a lot of power. Many on this site have said he is slow, clumsy and has no skill whatsoever. Thats all bollocks.

If he had anything you just said he does, then why was he so unable to deal with Ben Rabah in that fight?? I mean are you telling me you don't think Ben Rabah deserved to win? Sure he did run a lot, but he also landed alot of clean punches, alot more then Urango did.. Juan just moved forward the whole time, fairly slowly(don't know who your watching), and mostly relied on the left cross, as he always does, which he doesn't get off very fast. Again not sure what exactly you see differently? Movement? Handspeed? Are you kidding me?? Maybe some people are making him out a bit worse than he is by calling him terrible, but he's certainly not in Hatton's league, he doesn't do one thing better than Ricky at 140.. Let alone he hasn't been up against anyone nearly as good and has still really lost two fights... If he can't take Ricky's best punches, especially to the body, he's going to be out of there EARLY. Theres a chance he could give Hatton a great fight, you know, but to do that I think he'd have to prove to be incredibly durable and strong, which he has shown to be largely, but im talking freakishly, because he just doesn't have the ability to box with Hatton, or fight with him on the inside. He will be getting off at best half the punches Ricky does. So yeah, if he has an anvil on his head and his ribs are reinforced steel maybe this will be a war. Otherwise it will be an entertaining, one sided beatdown.

Why was he unable to deal with Rabah? Rabah never had Urango in trouble not even close. Rabah probably landed twice as many punches on Urango but Urango forced the fight from the centre of the ring and Rabah just ran with his back on the ropes looking terrified everytime Urango got him to the body. Ask Oscar De La Hoya where Sh!t like that gets you, especially in the eyes of the judges.
