There was a time when I thought this fight would be a blow out in Devon's favor. But when u look at it now after the Kotelnik fight... IDK
Devon is still the superior boxer, although Valero's skills r underrated and I'm sure he was still developing. Alexander is no doubt faster, but his defense is based more on staying on the outside. Do u think he could do that for long against Valero. Plus Devon was getting wobbled by Kotelnik a little. Does Kotelnik hit harder than Valero?
uhhh its actually easy to overhype someone tht hasnt been tested...thats typically what happens afterall.
Lmao... okay
Well when u put it that way, just read the last sentence and save urself some time.
But what I meant to say was it's hard to OFFICIALLY DECLARE someone over hyped when they haven't been tested... There!
2 things, 1 it's funny how most of the comments say Alexander would win, but the pole says Valero by KO lol
Anyway, one thing u have to take into mind, it's hard to overhype someone who hasn't been tested. Valero really hasn't been tested, so it's hard to say he's really overhyped becuz he hadn't failed any tests and we don't know if he ever would. While Devon recieved a special kind of test his last fight and failed.
Not saying Valero would win, but some of u r counting him out a little too easily.

you never know what you'd get with valero on fight night, but he certainly had the ability to outbox alexander. his boxing skills were so underrated cuz he was a crazy guy who'd rather stalk and exchange, but when he boxed he was a very skilled offensive minded boxer/puncher.
if devon pulled straight back with his hands down like he did vs kotelnik hed probably be going to sleep.
I think Valero is overrated, I don't care if he would scored 200 ko's. If never beat a contender, it's hard to picture him beating a top contender especially at 140. Total mismatch. Valero would have ended like Tyrone Brunson in my opinion.
no way....you must be kidding
Tyrone Brunson is young and still fighting........lmo
Valero is a two division world champ. He ko'd Antonio Pitalua who ko'd Santa Cruz, who unofficially beat Casamayor.
also made DeMarco quit, though many favored DeMarco to win..............dont forget his huge cut caused by an elbow....he fought like a warrior.
this other guy never fought for a championship fight and also doesnt have the 100% cuz he has a draw with some unkown before getting knocked out.
Devon's jab was non exsistent in his last fight, and I also feel that he has the tendency to fight another fighters fight. That being said Devon has very underrated power.
Valero while he didn't have the most polished skilled style, he was relentless with power and bad intentions. while definitely a hype job top contenders didn't want to fight him.
I imagine this being a total war. I favor Devon 11th tko
Valero was the superior fighter at fighting soft competition, if Valero fought some of the fighters Alexander has he'd probably get his ass beat. That insane guy Valero gets highly overrated by alot of boxingscene poster, seeing how Valero was always the favored fighter in his fights against soft competition. Even Valero's last fight which was a step up in competition he was still hugely the betting favorite.
yes valero was untested! we dont know how good valero could have been. but we do know that Alexander is a proven world class performer! Besides, he's better than he showed us against Koltnek! Just watch.

how many times I gotta say this...
FUKK VALERO!
R.I.P. JENNIFER!
you mofos need to stop treating valero like some fukkin legend. he's a scumbag that doesn't deserve to be remembered.
Alexander is open enough that Valero would have a good chance of knocking him on his ass, but Alexander has pop himself and I think wins the decision.
Valero is seriously overhyped. In a year ou people are going to have him knocking out Pacquiao.
Alexander has the skills to have been able to outbox Valero but he doesn't move his head and I think that's a disaster waiting to happen against a legitimate big puncher and Valero was a legitimate big puncher.

respect homie. people get seduced by his 100% knockout ratio. he would get picked apart any contender imo.
Valero may not have been in with great competition but I believe Alexander is abit of a hype job Valero was a savage who kept coming pressuring and throwing punches Alexander was outbox by Kotelnik ffs
Valero by brutal KO lol
ok, besides valero's amazing knockout ratio, what has he accomplished??? honestly??
nothing he is vastly overrated any top contender would have boxed circles around him and just give him ans beating his record is full of bums and nobodies just because he is dead don't make him out to be a god and give him undeserved credit with all this said he was pretty exciting to watch even fighting nobodies but i say Alexander takes this easily
