    I've only seen Alexander against Witter and Witter was pretty **** that night. Just didn't turn up. Don't know what to make of Devon but the Yanks are hyping him up, more than they did Bradley.

    No Mas, another prediction disaster from you :lol:

    I'm picking Alexander SD. Possibly UD but he will not stop Urango IMO. Man's a ****ing beast.

    Bit of a tight one to call, but I'd go with Alexander. Urango is really rough around the edges, I think Devon will control him well enough.

    I see Alexander following Berto's blueprint against Urango. I don't see great ability in Alexander but he's got decent fundamentals.

    Urango is very imposing and it be very interesting to see how Devon deals with non stop pressure. Urango is such a strange fighter..i'm never to sure what to expect from him.

    I think Alexander will have to use footwork and angles to win this. I'm 50/50...i lean slightly towards Alexander on a wide ud.

    I think Alexander will win a fairly comfortable unanimous decision. Urango is a monster at 140, he hits hard and has a granite chin, but i think he can be outboxed.

    All I've seen Alexander do so far is beat an out of sorts Witter so I'm going with Urango.

    Urango i think will be too strong. From what i have seen of Alexander he was a come forward counter puncher a style i don't think will trouble Urango. He also tries to tie a fighter up a lot when they get inside but he wasn't that good at it i think Urango will really boss him around on the inside.

    Alexander could be a lot different come this fight as Mandana says he will probably have a new style for this fight.

    I'll go Urango TKO

    I think Urango is being underrated.

    His two losses are to Hatton (albeit an out of sorts one) and Berto up at 147..... though in terms of quality wins he is quite thin on the ground.

    Likewise Alexander only really has the win over a faded, 35y/o Witter, so as for his ability, who knows?

    I'd tentatively pick Urango TKO.... whilst behind on the cards.

    Too be fair mate I dont think a Urango win is off the cards at all. I'm actually withdrawing my Alexander pick and choosing a Urango TKO/Alexander UD draw :lol:

    Backed Urango at 3/1, given how little is known about how good Alexander really is its worth a punt given Urango is a tough customer.

    I pick Alexander, has the tools to keep Urango off balance and counter him down the middle.
