Comments Thread For: Hearn: Alexander Can't Punch, Good Fight For Khan

[kings14]

To me, Alexander is one of those cases of a guy who has some many pieces of the puzzle but just can't put it all together. He has seemingly regressed in many fights following the Urango fight, which is so frustrating to watch. He has good speed, nice footwork (when he uses it to his advantage, not bouncing on his toss with his chin exposed), a really good chin at that, and really nice pop when he sits down on his punches. What happened to the guy who fought Urango and Witter.

Weight issues at 140 was part of it. He looked pretty impressive against Maidana imo. Saturday will be very telling.

Kotelnik - never been KOd

Bradley - never been KOd

Matthysse - never been KOd

Maidana - never been KOd

Bailey has but why take the risk when a guy sets the all time record for fewest punches in a fight?

And I would argue that he lost against Lucas and definitely Kotelnik.

A heavy hitter only matters when the opponent has a strong chin. Khan can get KO by a good punch from anyone since he has one of the most suspect chins in boxing atm. This is a ****** comment by Hearn.

Wait, what ?!

So Hearn is now slating Amir's potential opponent when not all that long ago he was bigging him up when Brook was about to face him.

All that long ago he hadnt got knocked out by Danny Garcia yet

Why is Hearn obsessed with Khan?

His fighter Kell Brook ducked Devon

1. It's not a rumor. Someone saying I want to fight this guy does not a rumor make.
2. Devon has power. He Maidana and should have gotten a knock down. Add in the fact that he stopped Urango and Witter plus had enough power to keep Lucas at bay shows you he isn't feather fisted.

He didn't stop Witter with power, that was a weird stoppage. Lucas walked through his punches and beat his ass. Other than Urango he's never shown much power, which isn't because he can't hit hard but because he never puts anything on his punches.

Weird stoppage? He retired on his stool.

He also had enough power to hurt Maidana.

Im not saying hes a heavey hitter, but he isn't feather fistes like many say.

I'll admit I haven't seen it in a while, but he seemed fine, and then just quit. I don't remember him being hurt, he was just losing every round.

[Los Zetas]

Hearn would have to ask Juan Urango, Maidana and Junior Witter whether Alexander can punch or not.
To start off with, Amir Khan is very inaccurate, he misses a lot and then he can't take a punch. You compare this with someone like Alexander who's very mobile and slick and can land good shots. I can't wait for this fight and hopefully I'll be ringside because I'm an Alexander fan.

What is your prediction if they fight? Both have floors tbh bro
