Urango-Alexander: Unification bout set for March 6th; Soto-Diaz on March 13th undercard
January 1st, 2010
By Michael Taylor: First I’d like to wish you all a happy new year. In the latest news World Boxing Council Light Welterweight champion Devon Alexander now has an opponent for March 6th. That opponent is International Boxing Federation champion Juan Urango. Devon Alexander will be making his first defence of his title after retiring Junior Witter in 8 for the vacant strap. Juan Urango will be making his second defence after winning the vacant title in January last year and defended against Randall Bailey last August; after being floored he came back to stop Bailey in the 11th.
Alexander hasn’t really had any tests, only his fight with Junior Witter, but showed there that he is a decent fighter, a win here would prove he can fight with the big boys. If he stops Urango that will send out a huge message, if he loses it will prove he was a one hit wonder, nothing more. Devon knows this can lead to much bigger things, bigger fights, and much more cash.

Humberto Soto-David Diaz on March 13th undercard
Former World Boxing Council Super Featherweight champion Humberto Soto takes another step towards a big money fight. This time he gets tough veteran David Diaz, whom two years ago fought Manny Pacquiao, being stopped in the 9th for only his second fight of his career. His other defeat was to Kendall Holt who stopped him in 8. Diaz has fought once since losing to Pacquiao, that was in September where he outpointed another veteran Jesus Chavez in a great war. Just last month Soto also beat Chavez on points but more convincingly. Soto is desperate for a big fight, and a big knockout over Diaz would surely get people listening. It is unlikely he will get a shot at Manny Pacquiao, but the Mexican also has Juan Manuel Marquez in mind. Both fighters can scrap it out and it could be a very good fight indeed.

La zorrita needs this fight to be consider for a big payday. He is very good but needs to be prepare for a hard fight. Go Zorrita we need some good fights from you!!!!
I know that Devon Alexander is going to beat Urango!!!!!!!!!!
look look look
urango is made out of freakin steel if devon alexander wins which is an about 40 percent chance it would HAVE TO BE A DECISION
but if Juan urango wins it would have to be a K0 and hearing how agressive the young devon alexander is that he might not listen to his trainers by fighting outside him and utilizing his speed and fight aggressive and try to trade with him and make a big mistake
im in favor of urango but at the same time it aint impossible for alexander to win alexander would just have to listen to his coaches
ANYONE DUMB ENOUGH TO TRADE WITH URANGO WILL GET DESTROYED
and theres too many that underestimates urango
Id like Urango to beat Alexander, but really Alexander is just going to out box him. I think Khan could beat them both to be honest
Hey Dom it’s on da pacquiao-mayweather undercard but if pacman fights someone else he’ll be on that card
“La Zorrita” will destroy David Diaz he is the weakest Lightweight their is!
