my bad if this is a repost

Undefeated WBC/IBF junior welterweight champion Devon Alexander "The Great" will next appear on HBO when he makes a championship homecoming in St. Louis on August 7th. Heavy-handed Marcos Maidana, who like Alexander is coming off of two straight stoppage victories on major network television, is the frontrunner to land the bout. The super skilled Alexander describes Maidana as "a straight-up beast that he will tame." There will be more to follow, so stay tuned to our front page for all the latest. Until then, remember where you heard it first!

Right! I think Devon can box Marcos and land at will. But Devon can't get hit with too many big shots though. I don't know what Khan is going to do, he has something to prove to ALOT of ppl with Paulie.

Maidana will be a problem in the same fashion that Ricardo Mayorga was a problem in his prime. Vernon Forrest was a very good boxer but couldn't handle Mayorga's unpredictability and power. Maidana is sort of the same way but I think his downfall is that he doesn't have that Mayorga chin. And Alexander will be able to slow him down by consistently touching him before putting him away.

He should be able to win comfortably but it's hard to count a guy like Maidana out completely.

Good assessment. The dude can punch, and I agree, he doesn't have that Mayorga chin. It should be a good fan friendly fight and if its here, I'm there. I haven't been to a fight in a while now.
