He looked too tight and too desperate for something and he's only 23...I have a feeling the crowd got to his nerves he's used to having a Bradley sized crowd lol in the urango fight he looked calm, but something about tonight made him seem shaky and stiff...he didn't listen to his corner that well to...the kid was will tested tonight, pressure tested and chin tested against Urango, and Skill tested against Witter...he's well rounded and looks like he can last in worse to worse situations unlike the other JWW except Maidana...had Koltelnik been bussier he woulda won...I'm convinced that the only two guys that can beat Alexander would be Khan and Ortiz...Khan would use pressure and speed to beat him and Ortiz would be too big; even with his cautious style he would time Alexander well with counters and use his accurate punches with power to win...Alexander can beat Maidana or Bradley though

it is no excuses, he didn't fight his best...THAT IS ALL!
this version of Alexander tonights doesn't beat any of the top fighters at 140 but at the same time this version of Alexander is not the version you will get every fight
I do think he got caught up into trying to impress his crowd and took WAY too many unnecessary punches to the head trying to KO Kotelnik and impress his fans and end up in a tougher fight then most people expected

Originally posted by BoxerDood View PostI didn't know Holyfield was there. But Floyd has been to his fights before. And he did about 10k tonight. Definitely his biggest crowd, but he's used to having a lot of people around him. I think he was just lost once he realized that Cunningham's strategy was a failure, and I predicted that beforehand. I think people thought this would be easier for him because they thought he was a big puncher, which he is not. Ortiz, Khan and Maidana all hit harder.
