Comments Thread For: Devon Alexander Hires a Strenght and Conditioning Coach

[bojangles1987]

that an fists that dont have any weight behind them



i've honestly seen alexadner sit on on punch in his entire career
the uppercuts that dropped urango



alexander needs to get off his toes and punch once in a while
or stick the jab and step into it and make it count (which he also did int he urango fight)


he just looks confused out there.



maybe he just needs the urangos int he wrold to block his shots with a forehead

Well that's the trainer's job. Alexander has shown he has power and we know he has conditioning. His problem is that he finally fought two guys who can take his first option away and he can't move to a second or third option, if it's even there. Either he can't do it or Cunningham doesn't know how to teach him.

The hell? That don't help with heart. Still ain't gonna help the fact you got schooled by bradley.

Maybe help with welterweight move???

I guess hes fortunate that he won't be fighting Bradley every time out.

Very few Bradley's in the world.

Lucas about to find out the hard way that he's not on that level.

It was obvious from the Kotelnik fight he was the same old robotic boxer who is so predictable, I think he needs a new trainer if its possible because his ring generalship and IQ is not impressive.

Now he needs a TRAINER

If he had a good trainer, he wouldn't need a strength and conditioning coach..

Lucas took away Judah's best weapon and that weapon is Devon's best weapon as well..Not to mention Judah is far more seasoned and overall a better fighter then Devon..

more strength and stamina wouldn't be bad for alexander... if he's gonna run like spinks, he's gonna need a lot more energy

[Devils Advocate]

he acutally has a very hard jab.
he's a natural right hander fighting southpaw


he doesnt stick it out there with any authority unless he's fighting a brick wall like juan urango.


his straight left, however, is and probably will always be useless.

if your right about Devon being a right handed fighter then he probably has no hope against elite competition. Samething that happened to Chad Dawson happened to Devon Alexander, they both got beat by guys with better foot movement and speed.

Chad has much better jab than Devon but neither one of their straight left hands will leave em stiff like Pacquiao's or Martinez's. Overall I think Alexander just didn't have the experience to be in their with Bradley and as soon as he got in there he was looking for a way out and against Bradley he'll gladly head u find a way out i mean (help) you find a way out

Agaisnt Lucas we will find out what type of heart Alexander has.

the guy has to know how to punch not throw a combo and move before the combo is finished that aint know puncher!!!.. the guy has to know how to get leverage twist hes waist and put hes back and rotate hes shoulders and learn how to punch through the opponent not stop when u make contact u have to follow through with whole punch ..this guy cant do that and even to a certain extent bradley is the same way...these guy's gota learn how to punch or they r gona have a very hard time fighting with elite competition.....

Devon Alexander feels like he has to prove something after the Bradley fight. Lets see if it works out for him.
