    I don't care if he wins or loses. I'll only criticize him if he gives us another fight where I want to throw my tv out my window.

      He will from me...but I'm a Kell Brook fan, so I will just say Devon cheated if the unthinkable happens!

          What I want to know is will Kell get credit after he beats Devon, because I believe Devon will lose this?

            Myself I credit that Devon is a good boxer. But his fights are awful to watch. The clinching in the Maidana fight and his lack of action against Bailey was gutwrenching.

                No one doubts Devon is a very, very good fighter. Maybe even great. That's not up for dicussion. However, the dude broke two cardinal rules;

                1) He quit. And not only that, he quit from a minor injury.

                2) He was on the receiving end of a gift decision.

                Brook is pretty good, so he'll get some credit if he wins, but most people will still hate him for the above reasons.

                  I don't know who I'm picking yet but Brook is no joke and he is a real threat to win that belt off of Devon.

                  Devon definitely deserves good credit if he beats Brook convincingly. Brooks a big, strong welterweight with a real ramrod jab, good timing, footwork. I think Brooks a solid fighter and I feel the Carson Jones fight was a real wake up call he'll of learned a great deal from.
                  Some may think he got a bit exposed but I feel Jones answered a lot of questions about Brook that night. In my opinion he showed a good chin, heart & the ability to dig deep, he showed he can fight inside.

                    2 gift decisions. He clearly lost 3 str8 fights

                    But Brook is pretty good, i hope Devon doesnt bore this fight to hell

                      The Carson Jones fight exposed some c h i n k s in Brook's armor but I like that he went and got a nutritionist after that and an S&C coach as well. Theoretically he should be an improved version of himself.

                      In terms of his chin I don't believe he will have to worry about that too much against Alexander. But he might see some new wrinkles boxing-wise and it will be interesting to see if he can handle them and still get the win.
