Undefeated Devon Alexander ‘The Great’ stunned the normally iron clad Juan Urango with two knockdowns in the eighth round that led to a spectacular technical knockout win earlier this evening at the Mohegan Sun Resort and Casino in Uncasville, CT. Alexander started out boxing flawlessly in an attempt to keep the raging bull that is Urango off of him. Alexander stuck to the game plan very well in the early rounds and managed to keep Urango at bay. Half way trough the bout Urango started to land a few big right hooks and looked as though he might be gaining momentum. In Round 8 Alexander timed a perfect uppercut while Urango was dipping down to throw a punch and the force of the blow literally took Urango off his feet. He went down in a heap but somehow managed to beat the count. In his followup attack Alexander landed a big right hand on Urango’s temple and the shot dropped him for a second time. The bout was subsequently waived off giving Alexander a dramatic stoppage victory. With the victory Alexander improved to 20-0 (13 KOs) and added the IBF junior welterweight title to his WBC title in what was a highly anticipated 140 pound fight.
