    I don't know what I was thinking, you're right, it was the right hook.

    But Alexander didn't block it almost every time. That right hook landed a TON.

    Maybe Alexander could have trouble with southpaws?

        I still think Urango can make entertaining fights. Though he's plodding and slow...he still moves forward(though not in an overly aggressive way like Angulo or Margarito) and has a mean hook that can cause some serious damage. I still think he's top 10 in the 140lb division. Top 5 would seriously be pushing it.

        He'll have trouble against anyone who has good movement and knows how to box intelligently. Berto and Hatton hit and held him to death and since he couldn't avoid the clinch, he was torn apart.

        The Urango-Bailey fight is still one of my favorite fights of last year.
