    Santos was inactive and weight drained for Foreman, among other things. Certainly not the same guy Dzin beat. At all.

      Regardless I still feel that stepping up in competition at an early age, if you can is important. People are quick to **** on Devon Alexander but look at what he has already done and experienced. At only the age of 23 he has won a world title, fought top 5 guys Kotelnik and Bradley too. He may of lost but it's great experience. I don't think there's any doubt that Alexander will be a great fighter by the time he is 28 or so.

        Oh no doubt. Dzin and Martinez are two guys who I feel were extremely poorly managed during their primes (Bute is another.) As far as Alexander goes, losing early like this might end up being a good thing for him. And if he works on the flaws in his game, no doubt we'll be seeing a lot more of him on the world stage.

          Dzinziruk has also beaten The Love Child.

            Dzinziruk has a good chance

            I've only seen one of Dzinziruk's fights myself so I'm not sure if he'll be able to pull it off, but he fights tall with a piston-like jab, which is a very good foil to Sergio's hunched up frenetic attacks from the southpaw stance.

              first off I dont see why Dizzy cant beat Sergio easily, unless Serg runs for 12 rounds.

              Yeah Devon is young but do you really see him fixing any of those flaws. I think he's going out like Jermaine Taylor. He didnt make any adjustments between his last two fights. He's stuck in his amateur ways.

                Santos was clearly not in the best form and came in at 173 for a 154lb fight on FN and no he was not ko'd by Yuri just totally outboxed.

                Sergiy has a very good chance of winning this fight and like many I have only seen a few of his fights and none where he was in danger, his intangibles are an unknown quantity.
