Herman Ngoudjo vs. Juan Urango

Woooooh I got motivated to post tonight and this happened to be on my television screen. It should be in English on Friday Night Fights with ole scarface Teddy Atlas but Radio Canada has the Canadian rights so ill have to catch this in French. Off we go.

Round 1:
First round is pretty standard. Urango walked Herman down and try's to land while Herman uses the jab to keep Urango a a distance. as the round progresses Urango closes the distance and shows his superior punching power. He def lands more power shots and i feel he takes the first round Urango 10-9.


Round 2:
Urango with some nice body work to start the round. Herman drops his hands and pays a lil later in the round eating a combination he probably should have been able to defend. He answers back and there are some nice exchanges. Another round i fee was controlled by Urango despite Herman finishing a little stronger than the first round 10-9 Urango

Round 3:
Herman back to using the jab more this round. seems like a wise decision.huge uppercut from Urango and he drops Herman hard. He makes it but its not looking good. Urango is throwing everything now but Herman is surviving. Urango should be careful not to blow his wad. Down again and he answers the count. Herman looks to survive and he does. 10-7 Urango. Hes just straight overwhelming Herman

Round 4:
Urango is an angry man. hes stalking the hurt Herman and hes going to make it tough for him to survive. Herman gets caught when he shouldn't IMO. Hands are too low.Herman is doing well for the 2nd half of this round penetrating Urango's defense to arguably steal the round. Urango throws some bombs at the end but Herm catches them all on the gloves. 10-9 Herman

Round 5:
Herman using his hand speed to land crisp combos on Urango. He needs to stay off the ropes if he wants to win. Urango is getting wider and Herman seems to be finding his groove finally. Urango lands a few power shots but overall Herman controls where the fight is fought and lands some crisp combos to take the round. Herman 10-9

Round 6:
Another tough round to score. Herman is backing up as usual but he does slip shots and land his nice combos. Hes gonna have to do this for the rest of the fight. Urango is always coming forward landing thudding shots that even if blocked will accumulate I'm sure. 10-9 Herman

Round 7:
Urango working hard to the body now. Smart move. if you take Herms gas tank from him he cant run away. Urango goes back to head hunting a lil. Herman makes a mini comback towards the end of the round but its not enough. they have a nice exchange at the end of the round. Urango 10-9

Round 8:
These rounds are all pretty similar. Urango plods forward and throws heavy shots to the body and head while Herman tries to fend him off and fire back. He doesn't land enough in return to win the round in my opinion. 10-9 Urango

Round 9:
Again much the same. Urango works the body hard this round and chases Herman. Near the end Herman lands some hard shots and may hurt Urango a little but not anything to stop the Urango onslaught. The round ends. Urango 10-9

Round 10:
Herman is looking a little stronger this round. Urango looks like he may be losing a little steam on his movement and punches. Lots of holding going on this round. Heavy body shots from Urango. Herman is landing cleaner shots now. Urango def losing a lil zip. But he keeps coming and winning the round. Herman is looking much better than i thought he would at this point in the fight. 10-9 Urango.

Round 11:
Herman looks very worn down now. Urango coming forward as usual. Again lots of holding and inside fighting. Both guys are very tired. Urango 10-9

Round 12:
Herman needs to knock him out to win this. Urango needs to just hold on and survive for 3min and he has this in the bag. You never know what the judges will say but i don't see any way Herman is winning this. Urango coming hard now really pushing his punches but he wont stop. More holding from both guys. Herman getting off good
on the inside towards the end. You could maybe give that to Herman but too little too late. 10-9 Herman
