I got Alexander losing this.

He should of taken a tune up to build his confidence.

Looked bad against Kotelnik and the Bradley fight was a dud.

Alexander rolls this dude, Devon is another level of fighter. Got a mill on it

hmmm, assuming that " rolls " means ko, tko, or wide ud..... that would mean that I win if the result is split, close, or if the ending is somehow controversial?

Because I got Matthyse dragging that fight late and making it a war of attrition.

This is a tune up fight. . .all alexander does is seek out the best and fight them. . .the bradley fight was a masterpiece because every single landed punch was earned by technique and execution. . .Why is amir khan even put in the same convo as fighters who go after the best and continue to challenge themselves.? Bradley and Alexander are #1 and #2 at jww and mark my words. . Aint nobody beating either of them anytime soon

Are you serious? I mean really serious, for real???

Look, man...I'm a St. Louis guy, but Devon got clearly beat and quit against Bradley. He got schooled by Kotelnik and got a gift. He was even letting Juan Urango, who is hardly a boxer, box him on even terms until he landed the one big punch. I think if everybody could fight everybody in the division, you'd find Devon settling in somewhere in the lower top 10. I think he's narrowly better than Judah, but won't legitimately beat any of the division's true elite, including Bradley, Khan, Matthysse, Kotelnik, and Maidana. He's far too skittish against top competition when fighting as a boxer, and that seems to be his preferred style.

I can't imagine him beating Matthysse without substantial help from the STL judges (which I'm sure he'll get).

I'm surprised this one's landing in St. Charles. I thought it had ScottTrade written all over it.

St. Louis has a track record of showing up for Devon's fights.
