What I like about Devon is that he comes to fight. The only problem I have is who is GBP going to put him in the ring with. Maybe the winner of Khan vs Peterson if Khan wins he can fight Devon at 147.

2 questions...
1) Will it be against a welterweight?
2) Will it be 12 rounds?

Great move by Showtime, Ortiz/Berto now Alexander, Maybe Alexander gets the winner.

My guess is it's gonna be against the Bert/Ortiz winner. Alexander better stay active against the big names opponents because his stock is up after that lesson he put on Maidana. He needs to stay active against the top opposition because after his 2011 campaign, he was all but written off.
