Both fighters are coming off losses this past December. Alexander lost his IBF welterweight title to Shawn Porter at the Barclays Center while Soto Karass was stopped by Keith Thurman a week later in San Antonio.

Soto Karass stands a great chance if he smothers Alexander

I'm kind of thinking the opposite. I think Alexander might look pretty good in that one.

IMO, Alexander doesn't have an inside game and if you're in his face all night smothering him like Bradley/Porter, he can't do anything.

I'd rather watch reruns on NGChannel.

Logical fight.

Alexander should win comfortably.

[Reginald Ledoux]

Real interesting fight. I'm picking Soto Karass

Yeah, but Bradley/Porter are quite a bit more skilled/awkward to deal with than Soto Karass imo. He's pretty straight forward.

He's also very slow unlike those two.

It's the speed and in and out movement that troubled Devon.

I don't see Karass giving him any problems, should just box him all night.

good fight, put it on another triple header
