So where do you put Devon Alexander in the 140lb mix?

    So he beat Urango? I missed the fight, my dad is no longer here so I don't have HBO or Showtime. I couldn't find a stream either. I wasn't too thrilled with that fight, Urango is a B- fighter.

      He is top 3 in the division without doubt. Where you put him in the top 3 is debatable. The 140 division is soo exciting right now. Bradley, Alexander, Khan, Ortiz, Maidana- put them in with each other!!

        Yes. Ref stopped it after Urango was down twice in the 8th I think.

        Urango was getting hit pretty regular, and as the round wore on Alexander hit him with an uppercut that caused instant mental ******ation in Urango and dropped him.

        He beat the count only to go down after a shot to the temple.

        The ref stopped it despite urango being up with his gloves in the air, but it was clear the beating would continue if it wasnt stopped.

        Urango is a plodder. He was a legit name and Alexander had the perfect gameplan for the fight.

        Devon has great technique, but nothing else about him is all that flashy.

        Good speed and decent pop will get you pretty far at 140 but not the top spot.

            Good speed and not-so-decent pop got Timothy Bradley at the top spot

Bradley-Alexander would be another unfication bout for Devon.....to think he's younger than Amir Khan and Khan uses his age as an excuse not to fight the top guys smh. 23 year old unified champ, knocked out the iron twin very impressive.
              I agree I don't see anything wrong with taking it slow but the special fighters step it up a little faster especially when they have the name and impressive early victories that Kahn has.

                  PAC is a WW

                  He can go back down when he's finished his business till then he shouldn't be in a list thats my opinion.
