Call me foolish, but I think Maidana can steal one in St. Louis against Devon. I'm a little disappointed that its a 10 round fight because Maidana keeps the pressure up going into the later rounds, which probably favors Devon. Im curious to see what will happen if Maidana manages to cut him early in the fight with a couple of heavy blows. If Maidana wins I wanna see him fight Berto, Peterson, or Bradley.
A loss hurts Alexander more than it does Maidana.
Maidana is an all action, exciting fighter so there will be fights for him in the future.
Alexander was billed as the next great thing, he has argurably lost his last 3 fights. He definately needs a win against a named opponent to stay relevant.
Here's my scenarios.....
If Maidana beats Alexander and Ortiz beats Berto again, then Ortiz-Maidana II should happen in June/July.
If Maidana beats Alexander and Berto beats Ortiz, then I'd rather see Maidana face Bradley or Rios, which probably won't happen. If it didn't, than Maidana-Jones would be a good fight.
If Alexander beats Maidana and Ortiz beats Berto, than I'd like to see Alexander fight Ortiz.
If Alexander beats Maidana and Berto beats Ortiz, than I'd like to see Alexander fight Malignaggi or Brook, possibly Berto.
Here's how I think it will all play out. Alexander-Maidana will be a really close fight, Devon may even get floored but he will seem to hit Marcos at will at times, and Devon will win a close UD or MD. Maidana will claim he was robbed and will probably fight Malignaggi or Matthysse after that, or even Robert Guerrero maybe. Alexander will then probably fight the Berto-Ortiz II winner in the summer, for a showdown to see who could potentially earn a clash with Floyd or Manny.
I would love to see either Maidana v Berto OR Maidana vs Ortiz 2 so I hope Alexander loses, he's had too many gift decisions i just can't like the guy.
Ortiz vs Miadana II but I think Alexander beats Maidana and if that's the case I would love to see Alexander vs Khan
To be honest, I'd rather see Khan vs Berto if Khan is jumping to WW anyway..
It's a 10 round fight again? Really? That's ridiculous. A main event fight on HBO against top contenders shouldn't be 10 rounds. That ****ed over Matthyse last time.
winner of that fight.. fights the winner of Ortiz/Berto
Well, this is what I HOPE happens, but you know how boxing is. I think the winners and losers of each fight, should fight lol. I would love to see a Ortiz/Maidana rematch, so hopefully they either both win or lose their respective matches.
If Maidana wins I would love to see a scrap between him and Rios. If Alexander wins a fight with him and Paulie M. would be interesting..
Right, a fight with Rios would be definitely be explosive.
