You have to be kidding me. This kid is taking tough fights non stop. Hes not ducking people. Hes not running around the ring like a fairy. Hes not just showing up to get paid. Hes not coming in the ring and giving anything less than his all.
I mean seriously Urango, Kotelnik, Bradley and Matthysse all back to back no breaks inbetween and dudes in here are hating on him because hes not blowing people out of the water. Hes a freakin' kid. You got other guys in there 20's and some in their 30's fighting over matched bums and has beens. And Devon went after the top fighter in his class with passion. He wanted the Bradley fight bad as hell. Did he perfrom like Mayweather? No. But does that mean hes a coward and that he was never good? Heck no.
I scored it 95-94 for Lucas. So how the heck was it a robbery? Learn what a robbery is.
Newsflash. The guy is good. Very good. But also very flawed and has a lot of stuff to work on that these tough fights at a young age (23-24) is showing him.
Dont hate Devon he just goes in the ring and fights his butt off, he doesnt judge fights you dumb fickle casual fan noobs.
His trainer is terrible. The fact that I have never seen Alexander fight a different way, whether he wins or loses, no matter how the fight is going, is inexcusable. Cunningham is a loud mouth too, who brings all this attention onto Alexander he really doesn't need as he tries to put his career back on track.
Yeah Cunningham pretty much is no good in the corner.
He won the 9th rd easy,but blew his wad at that weight you have to have a 15 rd stamina.His trainer should be fired,he needs a new angle a new perspective,from what i see he has 30 guys telling him how badass he is.

Urango, Kotelnik, Bradley, and Matthyse. That's a damn good list.
But he lost three of those fights. I think the hate is warranted. He's being hyped incredibly hard by HBO because of his drawing power, and they're turning a blind eye to these hometown decisions.
This is everything thats wrong with boxing in America.
He's also not winning his fights. That's why everyone is cheesed. You can't just look the part of a boxer. You actually have to fight to win. Well that's the way it used to be. Nowadays you don't have to fight. You can just go in there shadowbox, and grunt and you won the fight.
I agree with this 100%.
Bold: I don't see you post often, but when you do, I tend to agree. The bolded statement, is another example of this.
Good call!
Ok so you can relate DlH BEAT THAT BUM WHITACKER LIKE HE STOLE SOMETING FRAUD ASS NUGGA..............Reality one great fighter beat another.
Well, you know what they say about opinions ........................
He didn't really have a choice HBO had him for 1 more fight and they have final say on who he fights if this were not the case he would of never went anywhere near dude however bad that idea was to guarantee another fight at least it made him have to go after a top contender
what does it matter he fought him and he lost. thats more than we can say for some fighter who dont get in the ring at all. dude needs to regroup i think he teams know that. i think its better this way
devon gave us some top level fights specially the bradley one. and ppl found out that he wasn't that good as they thought. and keeps getting close decision when he lost cause he wins judges ova with grunt, speed and activity. if he fought madiana the same thing gone happen might as well let the man work on his skill against paulie for he can improve cause right now aint nobody happy with devon and what he producing
World championships,fights on hbo prove you wrong.
Fights on Hbo make you an elite fighter now,do they? The guy just lost his last three fights, and that is not the mark of an elite fighter. Getting your ass handed to you by Andriy Kotelnik is not something you would expect of an elite fighter,neither is quitting in your next fight and whilst showing some heart at the weekend, he got a proper gift against a limited but tough slugger in Mathysse.
He is a good fighter, but in no way shape or form can he be called elite.
I agree and have no issue with Alexander in particular. in fact, I was impressed with him fighting Matthysse coming off the Bradley loss. Not a ton of people know Matthysse and yet it was a very legitimate fight.
I dont hate Alexander, I just hate the judges for his fights. Both Kotelnik and Matthyse were obvious robberies.
Alexander just flat out isnt one of the tip top best at 140. but, he is top ten.

Calling an elite fighter a bum is just plain retarded,there are a 1000 guys who wish they had his talent fck i am one of them ,i have even got sucked into this hating good fighters sht on here,but it is what it is he knows he cant take 140 anymore to many dogs best division in boxing,at 147 he will wreck and will get a title shot within a fight or two.
That doesn't help his argument what says i'm a fighter more than i don't want to fight tough comp. anymore i'll just move up in weight and go after easier fights
There are numerous good matches at 140 and he skips out gotta question that.
If he can't make the weight i guess but didn't hear anything about him being drained or looking affected by cut

With the greatest respect to you, devon is NOT an elite fighter, and probably never will be.
i was impressed with alexander saturday night, i think he lost, but it was a damn good fight and he made a good account of himself. he needs to sit down more on some of his punches and keep turning guys like mathysse. he could also throw smarter combos...
thats what he needed more of he did good when he did that in spots. he would throw combo and spin off.
This was valid yesterday he did at least show more dtermanation than he did against timmy from the 1st round on but now with his move up in weight to go after has-been JRWW this has no more merit
Avoiding a rematch and plenty of good matches at 140
i see what u saying but dude need to step back work on some things we all can agree with that. and paulie just the dude for that. some ppl had high hopes for him himself included but he needs some polishing before he steps up again or its ova.
I was big on Alexander, I thought he was the best of the 140 lb champions when he was still the wbc champ. I saw a lot of potential. I still do but I'm not convinced he's the best, not even close to being the best.
I was surpriced how he took them monster shots against Matthysse and he didn't try to run away from the fight. I still think he's good but I'm no longer the fan I was. I can't see him doing anything really impressive anymore.

You don't need to take away whatever makes him a fighter, just watch his last three fights. You will see the guy is a certified bum.:boxing:
Bum is a clear overstatement,the kid is not as good as he was being build up to be..But he is no bum,he belongs in the top ten of fighters fighting at 140lb..
