On Saturday night at the Scottrade Center in Saint Louis, Missouri, Devon Alexander will have an HBO televised homecoming as he defends his WBC/IBF junior welterweight titles against former champion Andriy Kotelnik of Ukraine. Kotlenik, returning for the first time since last year's decision loss to Amir Khan, is still the only man to defeat the deadly Marcos Maidana.

Alexander UD Kotelnik... I rewatched Alexander-Urango and Devon was starting to fade a bit before the KO, if Kotelnik can hang in there, he might be able to answer some questions I have of Devon's stamina. I expect a lopsided decision, but I'm not ruling out Devon catching Kotelnik in between shots and stopping him.

Cloud-Johnson = Tossup... I rewatched Cloud-Woods and Cloud does not fight as well going backwards or with his back against the ropes, and that's where Glen will keep him. I'm still leaning toward Cloud though, because the kid threw 90+ punches per round for 12 rounds and it was coming off of a year layoff. Not only that, but it's a DK card, so the judges might not be too generous toward Glencoffe. Cloud has a nice shoulder roll and counter, but he's no defensive wizard.

This will be a great competitive fight.

easy night for alexander the great

Cloud is a world champion but this is the first time he is going to be in the ring with a real threat. I'm picking Johnson to win by decision. This is the fight i'm looking forward to the most this weekend.

It is gonna be crazy and possibly very quiet if Alexander loses this fight, people are talking as if the guy is the next Leonard or something. Kotelnik is not a bum, I am not saying he will beat Alexander necessarily but I think he will make it a lot closer than people think.

Look for Alexander to be the first to stop Kotelnik. Alexander by KO.

i just got back from the weigh in and my dude look ready....i just hope cory is ready too, he looked like his normal self and bundrage was cut up, but i think cory is going to just out box him.
