Juan Urango V Andre Berto

You're kidding yourself if you think Bailey would make it past the 6th round against Urango. Not with that chinny chin chin of his.

 

This pretty much sums up the entire fight prognosis. IF Berto fights his fight, He'll sweep Urango on the cards. If Berto tries to get too cute with Urango, he'll risk putting himself in some serious trouble.

 

I have a perfect analogy for this fight - it would be as if Librado Andrade moved up to fight Roy Jones Jr. It's almost identical. I doubt the people who are berating the people who are picking Urango would say that Andrade has no chance at outlasting and catching up with Jones.

 

Good points...well said!!!!
Hope you read this PimpC and Pit...this is a textbook argument!!!!

 

Ngoudjo is not a world class fighter he's a professional opponent , he looked simi good against a dead Castillio who was moving up from 135 and all of a sudden he's world class ?!?! man please . Ngoudijo is a fighter with limited boxing skill and no foot work.. everyone thats has seen Ngoudjo know that he can not move side to side and he does not have punching power , he was the perfect opponent for Urango . Back to Urango , Urnago could not even handle Hatton side to side movement how is he going to handle Berto's ,, who to say that Uragno hits any harder then Collazio at 147 ? Collasio did something Urango could not and that almost beat Hatton , Urango on the other hand never came close to even winning a round.

 

If this is the case then Berto has never faced a world class opponent either.

I mean Collazo is most famous for what? Losing to Hatton and Mosley.

 

I don't think Urango is as good as Andrade, personally. His punches actually make Andrade's seem straight, and Andrade has a hell of a lot more of them. Urango just walks and walks for long periods waiting until he can get into range whereas Andrade is a little more proactive, so even if he gets outboxed he is working.

I agree Berto needs to be disciplined which he shows little of. Even though he's the natural welter, Urango could actually be the stronger man. It wouldn't surprise me at all with Urango's upper body strength. If Berto does nothing stupid this would look like Mosley against Margarito, the handspeed would make the difference and he'll break down Urango eventually no matter how tough.

If he thinks he's gotta go to war and prove a point because he's the natural 147lb'er, that is where trouble is gonna arise.

 

Fair enough but I just don't see it happening. Berto is simply too well schooled to get caught by a crude slow guy like Urango the difference in class will be apparent from the opening bell.

 

Berto gonna win by a wide UD..I think Juan will put him to the test at times but Berto has more skill!

 

You mean the same light puncher who had Hatton on ***** street? The same Hatton who took Urango's shots with ease but was bothered by light punching Collazo?

 

I wouldn't say Hatton took his punches with ease. Hatton looked visibily hurt by a body shot and proceeded to spend the rest of the fight hugging and mauling in close after building up a lead.

 

Horrible comparison. Roy Jones is shot Berto is prime big difference there. If this was a prime Roy Jones no one would give Andrade a chance.

 

You beat me too it. Since when is Ngoujo world class? He's a decent fighter that shows flashes of being good nothing more nothing less.

 

lets see Luis Collazo , Steve Forbes , David Estrada , Cosme Rivera ,, All have been fighting at world class level not successfully but they all have faced world class talent more then once .. Ngoudjo has only faced a way past it Castillio and he was Maliginaggi warm up for N'dou.. I seriously doubt if Urango can beat Collazo at 147

 

If Ngoudjo was Malignaggi's "warm up" I think he got more than he bargained for as he at best scraped a decision, at worst could have lost that fight on another day.
