Devon Alexander vs Juan Urango - Pre fight discussion + RBR

edit

 

Yeah he looked good. Pretty much controlled the action with good movement, using work-rate and moving out. Didn't let Urango get close and Urango was plodding.

Ironically Urango was just starting to get into things when he got stopped. He was planning to come on strong late. Made a mistake to get put down, but that wasn't a huge problem, he wasn't too badly hurt. But he got macho straight away and waded in and got caught for a second time.

 

I was surprised Alexander was such a clear favourite to be honest, but I guess the result shows it.

 

That result finally got me back over 1000 vCash :roll:

 

This guy is not intimidated by Darchinyan.

 

I think Devon fought Urango at the perfect time. He boxed well tonight and this boosts his rep and gives him some real value now.

Urango now either retires or becomes a gatekeeper. Seems nice guy but never to sure he's had that real hunger for it like other fighters have.

Vic cracks me up...gotta love this guy.

Devon looked good, the 140 division is becoming real hot.

 

Guerrero looking beat up, surprised he has lasted 4 the way he came out in the 1st i was sure Vic was going to put him down

 

I think Urango had the hunger, just lacked in a lot of fundamental skills. No jab on the way, comes in with a hook which leaves you right open down the middle. No footspeed to speak of which makes him easy to outbox and outmaneaovre. Hell Hatton outboxed the **** out of him...that says a whole lot.

He's just a limited guy, he can still contend there or there abouts near the top of the division. He's got nothing for a Bradley, Marquez or Alexander, all-round fighters should have no problems with him.

 

1st bet on here and it got me 2000. 500 at 4/1 for the TKO. Good times.:bbb

Just need Vic to win for the other 500 to be safe

 

I was down to zero a week or so ago, I've rebounded well :yep

 

Sometimes there's fighters i think about who i would love to fight if i boxed and i wouldn't like to fight...Vic goes to near the top of fighter's i'd hate to fight. Spiteful puncher and them shots come way out of eye line. You have to be on top form to deal with him.

 

Honestly, I don't like watching Darchinyan a whole lot. Many probably love him and I could appreciate why but he's just way too awkward and messy for me. Some of his punches and movements are difficult to describe.

 

Very strange Darch is wearing Everlasts. He should be wearing Reyes really...
