this is a fight were devon could make a statement do a 12 rounder instead of ten,, fight in the UK and go beat brook,, (outside of khan i think brook draws decent #'s) plus this fight makes more $ in the UK i beliveIf I was Alexander, I probably wouldn't go out of my way to fight Kell Brook in the UK. Alexander is far more proven than Brook, and can get other fights against good fighters anyway.
At the same time, there's no way in hell I'd want Kell Brook to fight Alexander in STL. Kell should try and push for a neutral site in America, somewhere like Jersey. That makes the most sense to me. Honestly, I'm surprised this fight was even being negotiated. I'm happy though, because it seems like Brook is actually going to get matched with a legit WW. If they can't get Alexander, they'll probably get Zaveck in the UK for July, which is fine by me for right now.
but were talkin bout sweet ol devin -_- dont think it happens
i got devin by UD if it happens thoComment

Well ok but thats just about fighting Kell Brook. Its nothing really to do with the location. If he can get bigger fights, good for him, so be it.If I was Alexander, I probably wouldn't go out of my way to fight Kell Brook in the UK. Alexander is far more proven than Brook, and can get other fights against good fighters anyway.

Brook has a date set for Sheffield in July. It'd be up to Alexander's team to offer a nuetral venue in the US in August.Comment

How exactly is Alexander not a big player at WW? First off that division isn't stacked but by beating Maidana he put himself in a spot to fight the winner of Berto/Ortiz. That's pretty much the top of the division.
and you're wrong, it is win/win. Like I said if he losses, he can say look I took a risk and it didn't work out. He is inexperienced and can say the inexperience was too much to overcome and still get a good payday out of it AND also good experience from it. If he wins he then sets himself off for very good paydays and a huge following. How exactly is that not a win/win situation.
I think you just talk ****, to talk ****. I don't care if you don't like what I have to say but you're clearly wrong.Comment
