12 Round WBC , IBF Junior Welterweight Championship Fight
Saturday, March 6, 2010
Mohegan Sun Arena / Uncasville, CT

Devon Alexander
WBC Super Lightweight Champion (19-0-0, 12 KOs)

vs

Juan Urango
IBF Junior Welterweight World Champion (22-2-1, 17 KOs)

 
The March edition of 'HBO World Boxing' features two talented young Junior Welterweight titleholders facing off in a compelling Junior Welterweight Unification clash. 5 months after stopping, and otherwise dominating, former Junior Welterweight champ Junior Witter, slick, St. Louis southpaw, Devon Alexander makes his HBO debut and first title defense against fellow titleholder, Juan Urango.

Alexander, though just 22, already holds knockout victories over two former champions and is considered among the best Junior Welterweights in the World. Quick-handed and quick-footed, Alexander looks to dominate the youth-laden and talent-rich Junior Welterweight division.

In his way is hard-hitting and iron-chinned slugger, Juan Urango. Already a two-time Junior Welterweight champion and veteran of clashes with Ricky Hatton and Andre Berto, the hard-charging Urango looks to test AlexanderÂ’s chin and mettle in this his sixth world title fight.
