Still pushes his punches a lot. Alexander would still be a difficult fight for most but he's very beatable. That said he would have likely stopped Brook, I know Devon ain't that big a puncher but Brook acts real funny when he gets hit with a solid shot.
Alexander will never get rid of that stiffness, that's whats killing both his punching power and steam going into the late rounds. I'm picking him to beat Porter but it's a very winnable fight for Porter as well.
It's easier to do stuff training than it is when the lights are on and there's an actual fight to lose. Devon can't do those things because he isn't that good. His best bet is running and grunting. Even that Purdy guy he beat, he didn't look that good opening up on a punching bag.
think it's more the class of opponent, most of these guys dont spar world beaters
plus with headgear you'll care less about landed punches, putting aside it taking away your peripheral
:lol1:
Definitely more entertaining than most of his fights...
Seeing Devon pressing, comfortable (because he often looks uncomfortable), and throwing fluid combinations makes you wonder why he doesn't employ it in his fights. He'd be more entertaining and a lot tougher to beat as well.
In 2 separate fights I've seen of Porter, he struggle against southpaws, but still got a wide decision. He hasn't fought a lefty since. Alexander is going to UD him in one of his most entertaining fights...

Alexander was good in his last fight but hurt his hand. He got the stoppage too. I was there lol you could hear his grunting from a mile away.
I think he will only improve and become more entertaining from here, unless he loses this fight of course
That guy yells like Devon, but wheres the holding?
