Juan Urango: The Beast of the Jr. Welterweights

[King Koopa]

It's amazing he can make 140...

Urango vs Marcos Maidana.......FIREWORKS

[trainer]

Urango broke three of hattons ribs in that fight and you could see Hatton wince evertime urango hit him to the body, then he Hatton started to look like John ruiz with his punching and holding. Hatton should have been deducted points for holding excessively. Watch hatton do the same with Pacman. Hit and hold.

Urango should move up and fight Cotto. Urango vs Cotto would be good

I believe Urango is trained by Evangelista Cotto, he can't run around both corners during a fight.

By Joe Harrison - In this day and age, if you are thinking about the junior welterweight division, you are probably thinking about the Ricky Hatton-Manny Pacquiao bout that is scheduled for May 2. If not, maybe you are growing anxious over the April unification bout between WBO champ Kendall Holt and WBC champ Timothy Bradley. [details]

urango is a poor man's cotto.

When i first seen the heading i misread it and thought that it said "the best of the Jr. Welterweights" and I was like WTF, how is Urango the best at 140.

no he did not but he hurt hatton to the body on one occasion of note and for that reason he did extra training to strenghten hes body up for the castillo fight

[millcitymauler]

Can anyone say "mancrush"?

[Hook]

It will be interesting to see what he does in future

I think it's telling that everyone and their mama at 140 is calling him out. They see that he just comes forward in a straight line without a jab and wings wide power shots. He is a very strong guy who made Hatton fight backing up. But I think he's too slow and too predictable to deal with the boxers of the division.

Give him this though, he knows what type of fighter he is and what physical assets he possesses and which ones he does not....hes a beast at 140, but he looked a lot heavier than that to me in his last fight.
