    he doesn't want to see maidana yet, but you're right, he just needs seasoning. he should go for like a lamont peterson type or a rematch. this is simply a case of a guy who was being moved along too fast and has been overly protected.

    he hasn't fought anyone with durability AND skills at a world class level. witter was just a mess
    I am not very impressed with Maidana, yes he TKO'd Ortiz, but he is slow, and lacks technical boxing skills and defense. He is aslightly better version of Urango if you ask me, and will lose to Kahn if Khan fights him and doesn't get KOed.

      I doubt him and Bradley fight in Jaunuary. Shaw just reported yesterday that Bradley is open to fight if the money is right. that's something he has been saying for the past few months.
      shaw and bradley would take that fight, devon's team shouldn't

        cunningham was imploring him to stop trading and flurry and move, but he couldn't cuz he wasn't getting away with what he was used to getting away with
        I was talking about the lack of upper body movement more than anything else.

          Maidana has great intangibles, though... that's why he comes up big.

            agreed, however maidana has chin heart durability and power.

            devon was getting stunned sat nite but 13 ko kotelnik.

            not a good guy for devon to go after next at all.

              Does he fight someone where he stylistically looks good again?

              Because that isn't going to prove it to me again.

              Fight Kotelnik again.
              I want a Kotelnik rematch or Maidana.

                He's not that slow, but I am not impressed either. The guy can often get his shots in somehow.

                Man is too open though and will get tagged and dropped by all 3, even Bradley.

                  I wouldn;t say he was getting stunned. He got hit a ton, and has his hea dsnapped back a few times. However, it didn't look like he was going to have a knockdown at any point.

                  maidana has a decent chin, but he can be knocked out, Ortiz dropped hima few times.

                    I wouldn't say he was exposed, he was making the same mistakes he's made in previous fights.

                    Not moving his head and upperbody enough, keeping his right and bringing his jab back low, and moving out in straight lines with his head exposed.

                      I think those flaws were more exposed than they ever were before.

                      They were always there, but nobody ever was able to take advantage of it as much as Kotelnik did...
