im picking alexander by majority decision

i can see bradley making enough rounds close that the scoring may be close but i see alexander speed and angles giving bradley more problems then bradley's agressive style will give to devon

Kotelnik beat the stuffing out of Alexander and got robbed.

Alexander ain't all that.

i think bradley gonna whoop alexander. i hope he does it in impressive fashion and moves up to 147 and gets a fight with pacquiao. floyd will still be on vacation and after manny retires mosley he can go and ko timmy.

I think Bradley wins this fight,I also see him being a big star because he is willing to fight anybody and wants the best out there..After he beats Devon his stock will rise..

and what bradley didn't get dropped by Holt on his way to winning nah?

both have flaws which is why this should be a good fight

as for Kotelnik styles make fights and i can't see Bradley's style being able to affect Alexander that much to be honest he isn't the biggest puncher either

and the guy he last fought was slow as **** watch Bradley get bedazzled by Alexander's handspeed early on mark my words

Bradley fought Holt how many yrs ago??Bradley is not even the same fighter as he was then,he has shown growth in each of his fights..Devon has shown the same thing in every fight I've seen no growth in the kid,the Kottie fight was his last fight you can take more from that fight then Bradleys fight against Holt..

BTW Abregu imo would give Devon monster problems..He is tall can box and is a hard puncher,I could see Devon losing a fight to Abregu..

He lost to Kotelnik, but he still got the decision on a Don King fix.

I think he's a hype job and this fight will prove it.

“I like Timothy Bradley because he has an aggressive attitude if not an aggressive style. I don’t know if he is as skilled as Alexander but he has a real good sense of what he needs to do in the ring. He always comes in supreme condition and he remains a hungry fighter. And now we’ll see how he deals with this challenge.”

merchant believes devon is more skilled than timmah

The winner of this fight should fight Khan. Then, the winner of that should fight Mayweather. Then that winner should fight Paquiao. That would take boxing over the top.
