    Default 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.
    For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.

    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

    Man, after the 5th round I was fully confident my prediction would come true, Urango had landed some devastating body shots and had just kicked into high gear where he was landing quite frequently. Big credit to Alexander for hanging onto the controls. That uppercut that he got on the first knockdown actually lifted Urango off the canvas Great win, great result another reason light welter is being stronger as a division everyday.

    Wish I would have seen it.Sounds like Alexander steppen up to another level entirely with emphatic statement.The Jt welters are flourishing and I would love a Bradley/Alexander showdown.It has to happen.Hopefully promoters,King wont give us second tier defenses and instead provide quality.

    Yeah just managed to see the last round on youtube when I got in late last night, really really great uppercut, as good as I've seen in a long while. The way he connected just as Urango was winding up his right hand was savage. Was it the ref who called an end to it though? Either way I don't really think it was a premature stoppage, maybe JUST barely, but from the vid I watched it looked as though after the second KD someone either climbed to the ropes or threw in the towel, the ref seemed to wave it off due to that, am I wrong?
