The senior analysts have swayed me; I'm officially changing my pick to Urango T/KO. The draw was too generous and assumes an almost unrealistic chin on the part of the Juvenile Bull.
Diaz wins on points after maybe tasting the canvas one or two times. Come on Hatton outboxed Urango. Diaz has alot more skill than Hatton but wont clinch half the round so he will get caught and go down early then go on to dominate the rest of the fight.
I've never said Urango had quit in the passed or showed glipses of doing such. and to be honest when i first read the thread it didn't say at what weight, my fault for not asuming it was at 140. I'm still pulling for Diaz though, Urango is just to easy to hit. sure he can take a shot but the accumulation of punches that diaz throws and the precision will be the difference, IMO. I see Diaz take control and establish a pace in his favor. Urango has a very heavy hand but u can see it coming, Diaz better techniclly. I know, I know Urango just delivered a nasty ko. but come on Vilchez, was not a fighter one would compare to Diaz. I guess we'll have to see how Diaz does on his next fight. Will he show yet more determination coming of his loss, or did the loss break his mental focus... I just see Urango being too slow and one dimentional, though naturaly bigger and stronger than Diaz. a great fight for Diaz to show if he still belongs in this sport.
Definitely 140, Urango would have to chop off his left pec to make LW. I just don't think Diaz can hang with someone this tough at light welter.
Diaz outboxes him comfortably Getting near shutout by Hatton is like getting knocked out by Malignaggi in 140 terms. One devastating KO against a journeyman doesn't erase all the rounds Urango has lost to club fighters. Infact, I've seen him a number of times struggle with these guys before getting himself off the hook with a KO Diaz UD
