Juan Urango vs. Randall Bailey

[Taeth]

Now I know these two are not exactly prime time players but is their any doubt what so ever that on August 24th that bombs will fly and chins will be punctured?

We have sooooo many nice matches coming up after a slight lull and style wise I'm loving this one.The Ibf trinket aside you have the wide heavy punches & forward pressure of strong Urango head to head with the long in the tooth but seering straight right hand of an equalizer in Bailey.Bailey can move well and banks all out on that beauty of a right hand bomb.....call me crazy I think it's one of.....one of the 'truest' straight rights going today.May come down to Baileys chin,he has touched the canvas more than a few times... but I'm leaning towards him finding Urangos melon an inviting and reachable target right down the middle.

So who sleeps ? Or does it go the 12 rounds?

Urango might of looked like crap against Berto but at 140 he still holds the IBF strap and is still considered one of the top dogs, and given that styles make fights, i think this should be a barn burner, but i think Bailey is gonna get badly stopped, IMO Urango's smothering style and awesome power will give Bradley all he could handle, but still see Bradley pickin up a well deserved win, that should be a great fight as well

Berto was way faster than him, of course he looked like crap.

what does that have to do with anything? i only mentioned the Berto fight because it was at 147 not at 140, and Urango is still champion at 140

perfect quote to describe Taeth "for being a smart person you sure are dumb"

[JonnyFolds]

Thread-jack, much Taeth? Berto? huh?

[El Kabong]

I couldn't care less who wins that fight, but on the same ESPN2 card Tavoris Cloud is fighting Clinton Woods!


I suspect Urango will win a decision

[TheMacMagician]

You know, this should be a good fight although I think Urango is a bit dull. Urango has never been wobbled really either I don't think, but his resume is a load of crap really with Berto and Hatton aside. I would like to see Bailey knock Urango out and make some noise, because although he isn't the best boxer in the world, Bailey is a genuine decicated man (I listened to a radio interview with him before the Gato Fig fight and he was doing road work while on the phone) and certainly has the power to beat any current fighter at 140 IMO.....

[JonnyFolds]

Bailey strikes me as a guy who can get in the trenches for sure.

I think Urango is going to take this by decision. This is a perfect opportunity for Bailey to come out of the B+ shell he's been stuck in for a few years. Sux he's had to face some really good opposition in his day. Cotto.. Corley.. Ener.. Hurtado..

Maybe he'll surprise me, but I thought Figeuroa was already exposed so bad against Augustus.

Aside: You guys ever read anything on Urango?
He's had 6 kids with 5 different women (b4 he was even 24, prob more now) and they all live with his ex-sister in law and his mom in Columbia... (errr, something like that) He just sends the checks home. Poor guy is fighting to feed all those mouths. Honestly, I don't feel that bad for him. I heard about these methods called birth control!

[Spicoli]

Shameless eager bump 2 hrs...Cloud /Woods top notch crossroads scrap as well.....just hoping NO DELAYS with Nascar,etc.

[BoomBoom]

Randall has the more suspect chin though Urango is a bit more one dimentional. Im going with Randall based on his recent track record against capable southpaws. It will be either a close Bailey decision or a Mid round Urango TKO.

[killersheep]

WSOP coming on before FNF, so we should get going on time. The more I think about this, the more I favor Urango. I would go as far to say unless Bailey does some serious damage in the first 3 rounds, Urango will simply walk in and show how wobbly Bailey's legs have become. Nice having the nature theme in Woods vs. Cloud. I think Cloud could have had a shot against a top contender a few years ago, but inactivity is killing his career. See if he keeps the momentum going after he slaughters Woods.

[jokaleras]

unless Bailey lands a huge bomb on Urango, Urango by stoppage. he's just the more durable fighter.

[THE THIRD MAN]

I have always liked Bailey, don't go and take a piss when this fight is on!

If anyone wants a link pm me, it is Spanish but its quality.

Matter of minutes Gentlemen ...& Diane.Quality card here...Bailey bringing a strap home!

No way for "Championship" poker to run over time is there ?
