Did Alexander just lose his last 3 fights?

I think he has lost his last 3 fights. No shame though - he has taken on 3 very good opponents. Imagine how good boxing would be if everyone took on tough fights like Alexander. Credit to him. It's not his fault the judges have given him the nod. He's a very good young fighter, and he will only improve.

Devon Alexander Total Fights:4 Total Rounds:40 Defensive Stats Urango/Kotelnik/Bradley/Matthysse: Total punches landed/thrown against Devon Landed: 619 Thrown: 2,232 28% Total Power punches Landed: 437 Thrown: 1,433 30% Total Jabs Landed: 182 Thrown: 799 23% Offensive Stats Devon Alexander: Total Punches landed/thrown against Urango/Kotelnik/Bradley/Matthysse Landed:620 Thrown: 2,680 23% Total Power punches Landed: 408 Thrown: 1,243 33% Total Jabs Landed: 212 Thrown: 1,437 15% Numbers doesn't always tells the whole story, but his defensive stats really proved that all of these fights were close. There's no way it showed that he won three out of these four fights convincingly.

He should be 0-3 for his last three fights, but the Kotelnik result was the most shocking and a much bigger mugging than the Mathysse fight.

i think he lost all 3

Don King has the judges stacked- just like the Kotelnik fight. Hometown decisions and corruption are always going to weaken the sport, no matter the era. And when boxing is as weak as it is now, decisions like these especially hurt the sport. The first Lewis-Holyfield decision helped to kill the heavyweight division. Chavez-Whitaker still scars boxing in Texas. More recently, Felix Sturm lost a hometown decision to Oscar, but got one against that tough Irishman. Alexander won't get another meaningful fight in St. Louis for the rest of his career due to this second gift decision. Mattysse has a right to be upset, as does Golden Boy and HBO. The score of 116-113 has got to be looked into. The fight was even kind of stacked from the start given that it was only ten rounds. That plays to Alexander's favour because there is less time, and therefore less of a chance, to get caught by a punch. How was the decision to only have ten rounds arrived at? Does Bradley only have to fight ten rounds for his return payday from HBO? Just a comedy of errors.

I didn't score it but I thought he beat Kotelnik...but I don't see how he won last night...it shudda been a draw or a W for Mathysse...

Unfortunately the Urango fight has turned into a true "fools gold" type of fight and Devon is not who we all hoped he would be. Kotelnik pounded him in the last 4-5 rounds of their fight, Bradley was far from great but certainly the better man and although impressed by Alexanders toughness against Mathysse (as I was against Kotelnik) I find it a tough sell to say he beat Luke. DA is not who we thought he was...get him out of Missouri and the guy is easily 0-3 in his last 3.

Elmo Alexander has lost his last 3 fights.

I call a robbery the Armando Santa Cruz VS Casamayor fight, the De La Hoya-Sturm fight and most recently the Ryan Conye robbery win against McNemar, those were CLEAR wins and they got robbed, even Mike Dallas Jr got robbed against Miguel Herrera but the Devon fights were close fights where depending on your criteria might have been a hair strand to the favor of Devon, I can see how someone may have had him winning. robberies are those fights where even the fighters themselves were surprised to hear they won, they show the body language of the loser and act astonished when they win, that's a robbery, Devon has just had some tough fights 1st off how do you rebound from Bradley to an animal like Mathysse? Devon had 3 tough fights in a row and he don't even have 25 fights yet, you guys are acting like this is his full potential when in reality that kid didn't even reach anywhere near his full potential yet, he's greener than money at this point and even still his only loss came to the top dog at 140lbs, everyone else he beat. he still makes amateurish mistakes like jumping up and down draining his own stamina, throwing wide looping brawler like punches completely going against his Boxer nature, he makes fights harder for himself and even then the kid still pulls off the wins say what you want about Devon but that kid is talented and I can't wait to watch him fight again, he had a choice to run or fight with Mathysse and he fought him back, he held his own and if anything impressed me with his heart

Hi troll. At least Joe would actually outwork his opponents. Alexander is throwing less, landing less, and has no power. Tires easily. Seriously what is this guy good at? you are right. calzaghe was able to miss his opponents at an incredible rate. no one will ever match him.

Is this thread really going to turn into a Calzaghe love/hate fest?:pat:

#1 p4p ATG. Tell 'em, Zagz!!! He sure is carlos. Glad you agree. Welcome to IGnore list, you fckin knob!

devon alexander is just a poor mans joe calzaghe. joe was the master of throwing a bunch of ineffective punches with no power. you should love alexander if you love joe. Hi troll.

IMO, yes. I made a thread about it last night.

You nuthug other posters which is far more pathetic: Opening an account on Esideboxing just so you could continue sucking sonnyboy's nutsack! Go back to the retard garden known as the history section, Im done arguing with you bozos. You mean you are tired of trying to convince all those idiots to agree that Calzaghe is the greatest p4p fighter of all time? Shocking!! Sonny doesn't even post on esb or any forum for that matter. You're always good for a laugh zagz.

Imo he should be 0-3 in his last 3 fights but its not like he was fighting bums. He is a guy who belongs in the bottom half of the top 10 at 140. He isnt as bad as some of you make him out to be and is no where near as good as previously thought by many.

Zags stop pretending to watch boxing or pretend that you even watched a single one of his fights. You are the forum clown and should stick to nuthugging Lennox Lewis and Joe Calzaghe, not starting threads about fighters you don't even follow. I'll ignore the fact that you can not score a fight properly even if you did actually watch an entire boxing match.

Poll coming. How many fights do you think Alexander won in the last year? Zags stop pretending to watch boxing or pretend that you even watched a single one of his fights.
