    Devon has always gone straight,he has always shot his jab from too far out..He is always easy to be lured into a brawl..He did every last one of these things in his last three fights,which is why I've been picking Bradley to win this fight for months now..

      Well Judah agrees with you.

      I think he wants to fight in St. Louis. again.
      Zab seems to be jumping at the bit for that fight. Im sure he wants to put on a Spinks performance again.

      I wouldnt be shocked if Devon turned out Bradley's lights. That kid can punch.

        Watch the Urango fight. He circled, set traps and pumped the jab perfectly. He was setting Urango up for that uppercut since round 2.

            That Vargas kid has literally gotten better each fight with Roger. I really like his game.

              He kept telling him to stop being dumb and box this guy. Alexander didnt listen. If he used his handspeed and boxing ability he couldve beat Kotelnik rather easy but by fighting him the way he did he made it hard on himself.
              One thing I didn't hear Cunningham mention was about moving back in straight lines and getting caught on the ropes. Also no defensive advice? How about get the hands up sometimes? All I heard from Cunningham was to box the guy and which combinations to throw.

              The defense that Cunningham has taught Alexander is to throw and get out of there. That worked well against Urango because he is too slow to cut down the ring and get him on the ropes. Kotelnik took all the shots on the gloves and then stalked him around the ring when Alexander was tired of loading. This is where the "throw your stuff and get out of there" didn't work for Alexander.

              Bradley has very good footspeed and is better conditioned so he will get on the inside of Alexander, and Alexander doesn't look that comfortable there. Having said that, styles make fights. Bradley doesn't have the reach or defense of Kotelnik. Should be a good fight

                Box him is not very good instructions IMO..He should have told him to set traps calm Devon down and simple put it do not throw your jab until this guy is in range..He should have told him to see his shot before trying to put combos together..Box him could mean anything,I always said there is effective boxing,then there's wasting energy,then there is avoiding..Which one do you think Devon was doing??If you listen to Bradley's trainer 1.He is relaxed..2.He gives sound instructions(Listen to Bradley's corner during the Peterson fight,the Holt fight and the Abregu fight)that's how a trainer supposed to sound..3.He keeps Bradley focus..I don't get the same feel with Kevin he sounds too hyped and it seems like it throws Devon off..But cool 25k I'll put ya in my betting book..

                    Most of the major players are fighting each other(Maidana-Khan and Bradley-Alexander)

                    Hopefully it was worth the wait.


                    getting good.......the winner of Khan v Maidana can face the winner of Alexander v Bradley and Ortiz and Judah can fight the losers of each bout etc etc...

                      I think Urango was easy to be set up with his slow moving..But Devon did not get settle until about the 4th or 5th rd..I really did not see him setting Urango up for that uppercut,but that punch was there all night cause of Urango slowness and overall ugly style..But I still felt he shot his jab from too far out which opened him up for Urango's over hand..He also went straight back but lets be honest Kottie is not fast but is way faster then Urango..Had Urango had Kottie's speed Devon might have been in alot more trouble..
