He needs a new trainer asap. He need to sit down on his punches.

Bradley Headbutts threw him off his gameplan and broke his will
Bradley did the same thing to Nate Campbell

Originally posted by Gino Ros View PostI see a lot of people killing Devon Alexander. I was also overall disappointed in the fight because I don't think Dev showed A) a plan or B) a big heart.
But , that being said, I also realize that he is very young, and can come back from this. At least he didn't do an Ortiz (some argue that he did) or a Peterson (DQ via foul).
It seems many of the young, talented, athletic fighters really struggle when a guy applies intelligent pressure to them - and even roughs them up a bit. They have to learn how to fight and counter that style.
Sugar Ray Leonard had a bad night in Montreal when Duran dragged him into the type of fight he wasn't ready for. In a rematch, SRL showed his true level.
Floyd Mayweather had a bad night against a terrific Mexican fighter, JL Castillo. Again, in a rematch, Floyd showed who is the superior fighter.
Roy Jones was frustrated by the Montell Griffin, although Montell applied a different kind of pressure. RJJ's frustration led him to being DQ'd.
In the rematch, he put any doubts to rest.
There are many other examples.
Devon needs to get an elite trainer. He basically had the same problem with Kotelnik as he had with Bradley. And if you go back and watch the Urango fight, Dev wasn't exactly distancing himself before he landed those beautiful uppercuts.
Alexander acts like he's SLOW or something. I don't think any trainer can help Devon Alexander right now. He doesn't know how to listen.
