Comments Thread For: Alexander's Trainer Fires Back at Maidana: Bring it On!

[HandSpeed303]

I got devon, maidana dont have the footwork, handspeed, a jab, slickness, that bradley has to be effective against devon, devon gonna keep him away easy with 1s n 2s, maidana was abel to get to khan cause he got tired he drop hes hands he aint got good stamina n defense all khan does is run away, all maidana does is throw wide hooks n those are easy to stay away from with good stamina n he aint active enough

Another huge mistake I keep seeing people make...He had to throw wide agaist Khan (Khan was moving away). True Maidana does throw wide shots, but he also comes down the middle, often...Just ask Ortiz.

Bring it on, Who..Maidana???

..Devon,,please! I doubt Devon can dance with Maidana. I have seen Devon's last 4 fights and the last 2 was a great disappointment and he definitely look like an amateur! Kinda reminded of Jr when he was just starting.
Forget Maidana! He will end your career. Alex is a kid that needs to mature..Kotelnik exposed him and Bradley made him quit.
Miadana right now is the most exciting fighter and I hope Rio's moves up to Jr WW..because Jr WW..is over hyped..thanks to all this idiot promoters and managers that thinks that their boxers can actually box with Jr and Pac...so much for that "Skills pay Bills' BS!..

If Devon keeps circling in the same direction and trying to fight backwards, Maidana will force him into a slugfest and finish him within seven rounds.

Ortiz aint got no defense n he leaves wide open cause he slugs with them, devon can pull it off, maidana is good n tough n i dont doubt him i see this fight 50/50, due to maidas lack of skill m devons lack of heart

I can agree with most of what you said (except that Devon's defense isn't all that either)...

I can't really get into it right now (getting off of work), but I can see a 50/50 fight.

Just based on what I have seen from Devon in recent fights, I think Maidana walks him down, and KO's him.

BoxingScene.com caught up with former WBC/IBF junior welterweight champion Devon Alexander's trainer and manager, Kevin Cunningham, to talk about his pupil's ten round technical decision loss to Timothy Bradley on Saturday night. Cunningham also wanted to respond to a story that appeared on BoxingScene that was written by Chris LaBate. Junior welterweight contender Marcos Maidana was quoted in the article as stating that he thought Alexander would be too scared to step in the ring with him. The quotes from Maidana came from his Twitter account.

nobody is believing in devon now?

style wise, devon should beat maidana while rene beats bradley. im picking devon over maidana in case the fight happens

[throbk1974]

YEah, sure! And those bruised ribs were caused by headbutts, too! If Alexander didn't grab and hold on for dear life every time Bradley came close, he wouldn't get those butts.

[MoneyLarry]

1st of all Devon Alexander beats Marcos Maidana easy 2nd stop with the excuses Alexander won 1 or 2 rounds against Bradley. Close fight my @$$. dumb n!gga.

[lutenco]

AEXANDER is good,no matter last fight,but if he fights MAIDANA and MAIDANA comes in great shape i think we will see the replay of ORTIZ-MAIDANA!!!

[PandaKilla]

I can not wait.

Maidana has been undermined a lot, but he can deal with technical boxers and power very well.
