    What are your thoughts on Devon Alexander?

    This kid shows a lot of promise IMO. Against Witter he was very disciplined and fought a very smart fight against an incredibly awkward fighter.

    I think this kid has what it takes to be a WW champion in the future.

    He's alright, I guess. Fast, sharp jab, distance fighter...

    Still yelps like a woman too much when he throws, though (same with Dirrell and Berto).

      Haha, yeah I'm not a fan of grunters. I think Berto is gonna gas himself one of these days with all the yelping he does.

        I think he's a good talent.

        Being a southpaw who pressures behind a snappy jab and a left hand will make him a formidable opponent for any at 140. He's quick and has a good right hook as well.

          Me niether the first time I saw the kid fight Showbox they made a comment about his grunting. I was hoping it would stop but it seems to continue. As for the question at hand I think he is a vert talented young cat with promise. Beating Witter is what made Bradley emerge. I want to see him get in there with Holt and see how he handles that task....Lefty

            If he has a chin, he should be able to beat Holt. I've never been too impressed with Kendall.
