Live tonight from the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, jr welterweight contenders Herman Ngoudjo and Juan Urango will be fighting for the vacant IBF jr welterweight championship. In his last fight, Ngoudjo won an IBF title eliminator by outpointing former WBA champion Souleymane M'baye in June of 2008. Prior to that victory, Ngoudjo came up on the losing end of a title challenge against defending IBF jr welterweight champion Paulie Malignaggi. Since losing his title in a unanimous decision loss to Ricky Hatton back in January of 2007, Urango is on a three fight winning streak, which includes a 4th round KO of Carlos Wilfredo Vilches back in April of 2008 which was also an IBF title eliminator. In what is perceived to be a close contest on paper, both combatants hope to get back into the big picture of the jr welterweight division. This is a good fight for these two boxers, one of which will win a title belt. Of course, we all know the legitimate jr welterweight world championship will be contested between world champion Ricky Hatton and pound for pound champion Manny Pacquiao in their May 2 super fight.
Tonight's fight between Ngoudjo and Urango can be seen live on ESPN2 Friday Night Fights.
Ngoudjo, Urango fight for vacant title belt!

Was there ever an explanation given for that long round and was that a record for the longest round in the history of 3 minute rounds?
The five minute and ten second round was rather odd, I must admit. Perhaps these timekeepers need coffee, but the fight wasn't really that boring! I don't know what the timekeeper was doing; maybe he was checking out the go-go dancers????? LOL
UFC is a real sport...any sport where the loser takes home more than the winner is a HOAX! $$$ = corruption!
Any sport where the loser takes home more than the winner is HOAX, huh??? Is that why Ramage Jackson made less than half of what Chuck Liddell made, AFTER Jackson had dethroned him of the light heavyweight championship of the world?????!!

Get the facts right before calling anything a HOAX, my friend.
Thank you for reading and come again! =)
