Very good analysis.

Thanks, I left a few things out, so not to write a long post. Couple things I didn't explain though:

IMO Alexander is a lock to win in lopsided fashion because stylistically, it's a terrible matchup for Kotelnik. Andriy uses the peekaboo defense, that style of defense will usually get exploited by a fighter with great stamina, speed, footwork, and technique.

If Devon doesn't have great stamina, he will show us that, but as long as Devon doesn't fade he will dominate. I expect a decision, but if Devon can time and counter Kotelnik cleanly a few times, we might see a stoppage.

Cloud and Johnson are in for a rough night tomorrow.

The more I watch their past fights, the more I know they're going to beat the **** out of each other and give us a FOTY candidate. Glencoffe will be on Cloud's ass and could pull off the upset, even though I don't trust the judges. Tavoris has that get you back mentality though, so it'll be give and take. I don't see a clear decision either way, it could very well end in a draw tomorrow night.

Alexander looks like he has more muscles in his arm than kotelnik has on his body. Actually both kotelnik and johnson are looking a little flabby or maybe its just the angle
