I havent watched the fight yet but I read that he was losing the fight until the 8th, if its true then his stock didnt rise by much in my book after this fight.
No there was only one round he could of conceivably lost before the KO. Alexander dominated and Urango continues to be Urango.
Where the **** did you read that? You probably watch the fight before making any further assessments of Alexander's standing in the division.
seems like some people are mad hating on alexander. i had him winning the first six rounds EASILY. if anybody has anything different they have to be clinically insane. rounds six and seven were urango's in my book.
Alexander-Bradley needs to be made ASAP. This will be the fight to see who the new Lineal champ at JWW is now, who is the new man atop 140.
Great win for the 22 yr old Alexander da great!! Him and Bradley r two young champs dat both patially unified da JWW belts. Hopefull they can co-feature against descent comp onna money making card. 140 is even more exciting!
Urango was done , very good stoppage in my opinion , the only think that would have happend in that round is that Urango would have been hurt. And I dont pay to see that.
HBO had Alexander 6 -1 up coming into the eight , i had it 5 -2 , but Alexander was ahead , but also looking good which is important going into the last third , urango wasnt hurt until the eigth, but was getting caught coming in.
there was 2 minutes left in the round , urango was hurt and got up at 9 , I think you need to look at it again and understand boxing.
:roll: Don't try and school me, son. I've seen enough fights to know that a fighter can make highly improbable comebacks even when being as hurt as Urango was. Yes, Urango was down twice and hurt, but he wasn't quite out yet. A fight shouldn't be stopped until a fighter is unable to continue and Urango certainly wasn't out just yet. He should've been afforded at the very least one last chance to survive.
Well, It's not exactly impossible to survive. Look up Corrales-Castillo. Anyway, BOT, I don't mind the stoppage may'be the ref saw something that we didn't see on the television, but I would have given Urango a chance to comeback. It's not like he wasn't in good condition to continue.
