Comments Thread For: Devon Alexander Heading To 147, Eyes Malignaggi Bout

[UL1210]

I don't really understand this move, Devon's not a big 140. I honestly believe Paulie outboxes him (relatively easily imo). Devon better get the fight in St. Louis

[..WaRSpencE..]

Can this fight PLEASE not be in St. Louis?!

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

I love Paulie.




Make it happen. Winnable fight for both guys.

147 just got deeper.

I have a feeling Don King is going to try and match him with Shane Mosley

that's not alot...Ortiz was 158lbs + on a couple of his fight night weights like Cotto was at the end of his 140lb days..

rehydrating to 151lbs isn't surprising for the average 140lb fighter

True but everyone's body is different, I'm just guessing. Maybe he sees bigger fights at 147, I don't think he is running from anyone, maybe he wants to make weight easy to focus on.the fundamentals in training camp

Please, can we not do this in Alexander's yard?


I don't want to have to witness my boy get Texas emotional again.


Devon's got my respect, but I'm with the Magic Man all the way here.

I wanna see it outside of the Lou just so he stops getting **** for "hometown" decisions, but that's where the draw and money is.

He just needs to settle down, commit more to his punches, sit down on some, its just when he darts in for a combo he is.darting back.out of range before anything can land. He's got great hand speed will rival berto at welter in that category, average d, average power, good foot work, great chin, his accuracy will come up if he settles and commits, his timing is good though

Berto vs Alexander.loser is awarded the world boxing diamond hype job belt

That's very possible, I personally think that he should have Cunningham take the back seat and Devon to pick up an Elite trainer, Roger Mayweather maybe since him and FMJ seem to have a good relationship, it's for the sake of his career, Cunningham has done a great job getting him this far, but maybe it's time for him to be taught some new things by someone who's been there.

That's all people want, I see this fight going down in Atlantic City, if not on the undercard of a big PPV like Cotto-Margarito II or Pacquiao-JMM III
