Wow!!!! You guys are turning on Devon fast!!!

[any craic lad?]

I rarely come to NSB for this simple fact. I heard all the chants of Jacobs being an "American hypejob" but he was just a young fighter that got caught. Happens to the best of them. His camp underestimated Pirog and paid the price. I doubt, though, anyone on these boards really believe Pirog is the Eurasian Middleweight savior.

Well fair enough man well that was what was happening straight away after and im sure that is the reason why you left NSB.I agree its ridiculous calling Jacobs a hypejob and all that **** if he can learn from that defeat it could be the best thing that ever happened to him.Well i have a feeling until Pirog loses thats what he will be seen as

Alexander still beats the top guys at 140,he was in a tough fight with a fighter that fought the fight of his life!!Styles make fights,fight fans should learn to understand that,when those top guys throw down,Alexander will be the last man standing!!

I still think Khan takes him.

[clubpunch]

Im still a fan. He needs some work. I would like to see him with Emanuel Steward. And for the love of God when someone is landing 120 shots on your right eye maybe just maybe you should put your Hand up!!!

Alexander I had plans A,B,C. No none of them said how to stop the Jab.

I mean just one fight back he was the best gonna KO Khan / Bradley you name it. Now he has one poor fight against a guy who (lets face it) has nothing to loose so gave absolutely 100% of his ability & experience creating a close fight and people are really coming down on him!

I'm not defending Devon - I was never a fan; I was always 'waiting to see more' but really guys ease up....Kotelnik is really good; very underated. Calzaghe had close fights vs people like Bika, Mayweather vs Corrales spring to mind.

Everyone has a 'blip'. Devon was just overconfident and Kotelnik desperate - those two factors create a very dangerous scenario.

I still think 140 belongs to Khan / Maidana / Alexander & Bradley.

Never a good idea to make a hasty judgement as to a fighters ability to walk on water, especially after the Urango fight. Yes it was a good showing but its Urango 1 dimensional and slow. People just cant resist those bandwagons.

Im kinda dissapointed I wasnt around here lately to see the Jacobs bandwagon crashing

[Tiozzo]

people all got on Devon's bandwagon because

-he scored a great looking KO over Urango
-he is undefeated
-he has called out the best man in his division, Bradley, and sounds like he is willing to fight anyone anywhere, which is a great thing

I've never been sold on the guy, and I've been saying forever that Bradley beats him

and yes, people get off fast of a bandwagon
I wouldn't want that kind of fans if I were a prize fighter...

for example, even if Pascal get whooped next week, I will still be his fan, no matter what

I still think Khan takes him.

To each his own,Devon beats Khan in my eyes,but I can see why someone would judge both their performances against a common opponent & come to that conclusion,problem with that is that,it really doesn't apply in boxing,the wrong formula!!Kotelynk threw more & fought harder last night,I think this was Alexander's hardest test,I expect whoever he fights next to get blasted!!

It's not even Khan-Kotelnik vs Alexander-Kotelnik. It's just based on my observation of each individual's skillsets. Now I'm much more of an Alexander fan than a Khan fan, but there's no denying the ****'s talent. I was thoroughly impressed with how he handled Malignaggi, who is no slouch.


EDIT: wow...Pak1 is censored?

Paulie couldn't punch his way out of a wet paper bag homey,the bigger,lightning quick Khan had better perform greatly against him!!Paulie shouldn't be the bar in which U make that assumtion!!Alexander is also fast,has good power & a sturdy chin,Khan fast,has good power but a questionable chin,again Paulie isn't the fighter U should base an assumtion on!!

You don't have to be a KO artist to be a good fighter. Like I said in previous posts, if Khan gets his chin together, he wins the 140 crown.
