Devon Alexander Will Be the Best Pound-For-Pound Boxer within Five Years

WBC light welterweight champion Devon Alexander defeated Juan “Iron Twin” Urango by an eighth round TKO to successfully defend his crown and capture the IBF title Saturday night at Mohegan Sun in Uncansville, Connecticut.

Alexander (20-0, 13 KOs) was only narrowly leading Urango (22-3-1, 17 KOs) on the judge’s scorecards before he rocked “Iron Twin” with a thunderous uppercut in the eighth round.

Urango, 29, courageously managed to get off the canvas despite being obviously dazed.

Nevertheless, Alexander landed yet another vicious uppercut on Urango moments later and the referee halted the contest with a tad more than a minute remaining in the fateful round.

“Our whole training camp we practiced that uppercut,” said Alexander, 23, who hails from the gritty streets of St. Louis. “Speed kills. I had too much speed for him.”

The three-time PAL national champion is extremely quick and powerful, and his southpaw stance will inevitably create problems for all of his future opponents.

“I’m ready for anybody now,” said Alexander. “I’ll take on Zab Judah (38-6, 26 KOs) or Tim Bradley (24-0, 11 KOs), whoever they put in front of me.”

Barring any unforeseen events, Alexander will become the best pound-for-pound boxer in the world within the next five years.

He has all the necessary tools and abilities to dominate any pugilist that he encounters in the ring.

“Alexander the Great” is ready for anybody and he is one prizefighter who will have a long and supreme reign in multiple divisions.
