Tampa, FL - The IBF Light Welterweight Champion Juan "Iron Twin" Urango (22-2, 17 KO's) gets a charge of support in training camp at the Fight Factory in Tampa, Florida. after banging 8 straight hard tuff rounds with contender Gato Figueroa from New York, Urango looking great in camp in his preparation for Devon Alexander (19-0, 12 KO's) set for the IBF and WBC titles on the line at the Mohegan Sun Casino in Conn. Promoted by Warrior Promotions and Don King Productions.

Trainers for Urango legendary Florida trainer Pete Fernandez comments on Urango "I know that he is ready when I got the call from Warrior to take on helping Urango, I just knew that it would be a great fit". Juan style remains the same but he is pushing and really hitting hard, I am glad for myself that I am out of the promoters end of boxing it is such a joy for me to work with this guy he is sincerely blessed and ready to go March 6th. His sparring with Gato man they have been steady and going add it in a very productive way, We also bring in Danny O'connor to work with Juan and he is getting great preparation hands down.

Friend and Trainer Anthony Wilson looks on and comments on Urango, "There is no question Juan is ready his speed is great and looks strong we are on track, I know Alexander will be in the fight for his life, Juan game plan is clear and on track".

Amazingly at 47 yrs of age Hector "Macho Man" Camacho (79-5, 38 KO's) is still going strong as he prepares for Denmark's Allen Vester (28-6, 5 KO's) for the vacant WPBF Middleweight title at Arena Midt in Kjellerup, Denmark.

Camacho really should not be taking lightly in this up and coming bout set for March 26th. He took and gave a consistent demonstration of work by Gato Figueroa who did not led up at all on Macho Man, Camacho loved the hard work so much invited Gato to continue to work with him in Denmark for the final preparations.

Fight Factory had the pleasure with working with the New York Yankees Robinson Cano for the shooting of "Yankees on Deck" a show that will be airing on the Yes Network May 2nd. Trainer Pete Fernandez applies the wraps on Cano who was extremely exited to get a upper cardio work out that clearly weights different from his normal baseball training.

Exited to say the least Cano gets a lesson in pad work with Pete Fernandez, Cano a sincere fan of Boxing really enjoying the work out, hitting the heavy bag, speed bag and tips from coach Fernandez.
