Nice. Cant wait for this fight. I see Alexander being too fast and more movement than Urango. Alexander wins by UD.

Connecticut? Why is this fight not in St. Louis? Cory Spinks is on the undercard also it makes perfect sense to host in St. Louis.... Webb you from the Lou, do you know why the fight is not being host there?

man I have no idea J. I thought for sure that it would be here, but I'm not sure why. I mean, with Spinks on the undercard and Devon headlining I thought for SURE they would bring it here. They would have done good numbers just for the fact that Devon was headlining his first card. I definitely wanted to go to the fight.

I think all the big arenas in the Lou are booked for that date.

This fight is in CT, only a few hours away. I may go to this....

Exactly I always read that both Spinks and Cory do solid numbers there... So I thought both on the same card would be a no brainer... I don't know what Don King is thinking with this one... but hopefully it works out and they get a good numbers in Connecticut...

Ohhhhh, that makes sense... They probably should of chose another date but I guess... It works out better for you...

you know I'm not too fond of Devon being with King to be honest...just doesn't seem right for some reason bro.

yea the March 6 date is occupied with the Missouri Valley Basketball Conference Tourney. I should have known that, the Scott Trade Center always hosts that tourney. Makes sense now.
