Alexander was fighting a 140lb fighter in a 10 round fight

Knew it. I knew if Devon won people would just say it was because Marcos was slow or looked bad at 147. News flash......Marcos has always been a slow fighter who just throws bombs basically. This is a good win for Alexander and many thought he'd lose.

Had Maidana won i'd bet the TS would be in here talking about how good a win it was for him. SMH, get Maidana's nuts out your mouth man and give Devon his props.

they are both 140 fighters making their debut at 147....dont get mad cuz devon is better equipped for 147 than maidana, maidana got his ass handed to him last night....and thas why devon is NOT fighting at 140 so he wont be drained and maidana can ko him while he is drained, only a manny pacquiao opponent drains hisself for a fight (payday)to get whooped...................

they are both former 140lbers, maidana carries the weight well and he it was to his advantage that it was a 10 rounder or he might have been stopped.

Yeah. That's Alexanders fault. Marcos got schooled. Stop making excuses. Can't stand Alexander but you're right. 100%

Is Maidana a 147 lb fighter?for me no but give Dev his credit he outboxed the **** out of Maidana at 140 as hard as it is to say Devon woulda won too although it would have been far closer for me anyway.Some people on here aint boxing fans their fighter fans accept he lost and move on

147 is a better weight for Maidana. His game plan was horrible and his corner amateur. The whole fight he didn't lead with a left to the body when coming in. Maybe he doesn't know how. In either case it's embarrassing.

So the great "Killer" or "stone cold warrior" need excuses now? So we are making excuses now? Against Khan it was the referee didn't stop the fight in the 10 round, against morales it was he overtrained!!!

But if Maidana had beaten Alexander then it'd be a legitimate win right? lol...ppl will make excuses whenever their fighters lose

we know what thwe hbo anouncers say and all the blacks they think alexander is some big thing, clearly maidana shouldnt be at 147 and clearly alexander fought dirty and the ref helped him I guess he shouldn't be at 140 because he looked like hot garbage against Corley, lets be realistic here, one doesn't need much of a defense to defend against Maidana. Alexander's defense which I consider average, even I saw that it would be good enough for Maidana. Weight didn't have much to do with it as Maidana's physique looked good when looking at some of the training photos. The man simply has too many flaws, slow, wide looping punches, opposite of Matthysse.

I think the 10 round thing was a ***** move from Alexander, but it wouldn't have made a difference. Maidana didn't seem to have much power near the end and was more tired than Alexander. No it wasn't. Non title fights are 10 rounds or less. You can go on and name fights that had no title on the line and were 12 rounds, but non title fights are 10 rounders.

maidana had only one real fight last year. he didn't want to fight morales on star power or bradley on pac card, and then guerrero pulled out with an injury. that long layoff made him soft. he should stay at lww where he belongs. alexander fought a good, smart fight although i'm not sure because he's that good, or because maidana failed to show up.

He should get credit because he looked good, except for the incessant holding. Maidana looked even slower and more sloppy than normal almost to the point of being a has been. He certainly has lost a lot of credibility in my eyes. Yup, that was a lot of holding done by Alex. Maidana couldn't get going. Smart on Alex's part because he got away with it but made for a one sided fight ... so not so good from a fan stand point. Without that holding it could have been a much more entertaining fight. Still, it was a good performance by Alex.

:lol1: :lol1: At what point does Maidana become liable for simply not being better than Alexander? Marquez did well against Pacquiao two divisions above his weight. Ditto Hopkins-Tarver, Floyd-Oscar, Sergio-P-Will/Pavlik, and the list goes on. And to add onto what another posted said about them both coming from 140, Maidana was the bigger guy according to fight night weight.

obs alexander fills out more..maidana shouldn't be fighting @ 147...looked like complete ****. Yeah. That's Alexanders fault. Marcos got schooled. Stop making excuses.
