    Urango's got intangibles, not least his chin. Berto got through because he had the experience of the Collazo fight to call on, but Alexander doesn't.

    In Alexander's favour, he's not a big puncher, so his skill set is more rounded. I think he'll win by keeping mobile and never allowing Urango inside. But i wouldn't be surprised if he gets dragged into a brawl in the middle rounds. Urango's a late rounds fighter. That constant pressure and solid punching can catch people off guard.

    Good 50-50 fight overall for me.

    Sorry to inform you slip but Devon will be accompanied to the ring by a rapper. No joke.

    I think Devon's nickname should be 'Custard'

    Tarver looks sharp.

    How the hell does Guerrero get a world title shot, when he's ranked in the mid-teens by all the organisations?

    crazy

    Zappa is meant to be a good Aussie prospect.

    Zappa has a very fan friendly style but lacks world class IMO, he has a ripping body shot though....this is a good test for him :good

    Would be a brilliant ring name.

    'Custard, why the **** you called that?'

    'Cause I taste nice, why the **** do you think? My names ****ing Devon, my brother is Cornwall and he is called Pasty.''
