Devon Alexander is massively underrated

[Rome-By-Ko]

Agreed. Alexander is a good boxer, with good speed and footwork. I've said previously, that I wouldn't be surprised by a Mayweather/Alexander fight. It will give Mayweather a young strong opponent AMD gives Alexander a chance to prove his worth!

The last time we saw Mayweather with a young buck; he and his opponent lost their cool but up to that point Mayweather was DOMINATING! Will a fight with Alexander be the same case?

Good speed,yes..Good footwork,no..Alexander has very poor footwork bro..It's a big reason he has to hold so much to avoid contact instead of just moving away from it..Alexander's choice in punch combinations is also very poor and very predictable..I think Alexander is somewhere in between average and good..

Which online thesaurus do you use? Just curious. I've noticed that you're creating rather mundane comments, and then pasting them into some sort of online thesaurus which generates random synonyms for certain words which you can then use to recreate your sentence giving it a stronger grammatical appeal. Which of course leads to you giving the impression that you're some sort of pseudo-intellectual.

i am guilty of some mundane, one-liney contributions, as all of us are, but it would be amiss of you to portray the entirety of my post-history in such a way. nevertheless, i shall heed your words and seek to 'raise my game', so to speak, by eradicating such asinine nothings from my output. as for my vocabulary, i assure you that it is all natural and no performance-enhancers are involved - i was merely a well-read child.

i would hope that none would perceive me as anything so frightening as an 'intellectual', but more as a pleasant fellow to communicate with in discourse of the fistic arts.

thank-you for paying particular attention to my posts, sir.

Beat Matthysse who is future HOF and the best guy at 140 now. Gave Bradley the fight of his life before fatiguing. Probably overtrained for that one since he is so dedicated to his craft his trainers literally have to stop him from training more. Hes undefeated at 147 and established as a legitimate threat to anyone there. Wins over Urango, Witter and Corely, thats a hell of a resume. A lot of guys at 147 dont want to fight him because he is low reward but high risk.

Dont underestimate welterweight champion Devon Alexander.

I agree with you 100% that he is underrated, a lot even.

However, Devon is probably the most hated guy on this board because people don't like the way he fights.

People will try and say he robbed to guys too, but those were close fights that a lot of boxing experts thought Devon won, but people on here still have sour g****s about it.

who are the experts who thought Devon beat Kotelnik? please don't cite Harold Lederman, his scorecard was horrific.

Basically everyone in press row thought Devon won rather easily, and no Lederman had a good scorecard that was consistent with his argument about why Devon was winning the fight.

Just because you, someone on a forum, disagrees with a well respected professional judge's score card that made valid, educated, and consistent evidence to back it up doesn't mean it was horrific.

This is a joke right? Devon does have good footwork.

Sometimes his feet aren't always planted because he is jittery, but is foot work and movement is just fine.

10-2? where was the "valid, educated, and consistent evidence" for that card? that Alexander 'keeps getting off first', even though he was missing/falling short? Lederman's card was an abomination. his eyesight may well suck, and maybe that's why he thought he saw Alexander landing all night, but he should retire in that case.

i do not recall the consensus of press-row for that fight. would you care to furnish me with some examples?

10-2 was probably a stretch, but he was the busier fighter through out the fight. Devon controlled the pace and basically the fight. Devon was getting his shots in too, even if some were missing.

I don't always agree with Lederman, but he is consistent with what he likes and what he likes can be justified by the criteria on how you score a fight. Off the top of my head I know Yahoo sports and Espn had Devon winning the fight, as for the rest that is for you to find out, I don't feel like arguing again with someone who is clearly biased on the issue because there is no convincing you otherwise.

busier, but much less accurate. quantity is fine paired with quality, but quantity >> quality? no, sir.

i'm glad that you agree that his card was absurd, though.

Lederman likes to see fighters miss most of their shots?

if Lederman is consistent, it's in scoring for the fighter who the network is trying to build or push.

yahoo/ESPN? come on, man. i was expecting names of 'experts'.

At least we know who doesn't watch boxing.

Gave Bradley the fight of his life. lulz.
