Comments Thread For: Team Alexander: Randall Bailey Getting His Ass Whooped!

Lucas gave him his first KD though and maidana.... that dude is like a turtle walking through a valley of peanut butter at WW.
Still, Props to Devin for winning that.

Normally when I see a story where Roach makes a comment the headline usually states that Freddie Roach is making the comment. But with Devon whenever a headline says "Team Alexander:" it's usually Kevin Cunningham speaking for Devon

I agree with you SFG, and I was gonna say the same thing you did previously. The headlines usually say "Team Alexander", which almost always means aka Kevin Cunninham. Seriously, I can't remember the last time I saw an article that read "Devon said...".

That being said though, I'd honestly rather see Alexander vs. Malignaggi, than against Bailey. I think Alexander would probably outbox Bailey pretty easily, Bailey's style is tailor made for Devon. Granted Bailey always has that 'punchers chance', but Jones was green compared to Alexander, and Devon looks to be doing pretty well at WW. Alexander also doesn't have a problem with and is pretty good at tying up his opponent and making him have to reset time and time again. IMO Team Alexander (and a lot of other WWs now) just want to go after Bailey because they think it's an easy belt to get. Bailey's a come forward kind of guy tryna knock yo block off - if you can box/move, tie him up and stay away from Bailey's big pimpin hand , a skilled, experienced boxer should be able to get an easy UD against him. However though, you can never count out a big puncher like Bailey until the final bell rings.

Malignaggi looks to be a good fight because Devon appears to struggle more against other guys with good footwork, who box and move. Paulie doesn't have the kind of power that would deter his opponent, but as we've all seen over the years he can take a hellofa punch and can fight through the pain. A fight between Alexander/Malignaggi would most likely be a pretty technical fight, with both guys exchanging but not likely hurting each other too much. I'd much rather see this fight than watching Bailey chase Alexander around the ring all night, hoping to get that one lucky punch.

Bailey will always have the punchers chance

I hope bailey catches him with that dynamite right and puts him to sleep, but alexander will most likely just outbox him and win a decision.

Bailey/Alexander is another good match up on SHOWTIME.

I think the more apt headline would be "The air in front of Randall Bailey's face is getting its ass whooped!"

I can't wait to see this fight. Boxer vs Puncher match ups has a history of making great fights.( Ali/Forman, Leonard/Hearns, Mayweather/Corrales ) This fight has great potential. Devon is only second to Mayweather in skill set at welterweight, and Randall Bailey is the biggest puncher in the division.

where can i get what your smoking?!

im sure that squeaky pea head will fight bailey anywhere, nothing like going after the easiest target is there?!!!

Big respect to Devon, he never takes a "SOFT TOUCH" and fights one dangerous opponent after another.

Hey...do you say the same thing when Roach speaks for his fighters? Sounds like a team with some clear roles to me.

who think that Devon will get his chin checked? I don't think so. He went 8 vs Urango before KOing him and also went 10 vs Matthysse and 12 vs Maidana so I think he can handle the power. A lot better than Mike Jone did for sure
