      Thurman punches too wide and Alexander punches in very straight lines. One Time start out like he is da man and gets tagged with a few rights and then things should get interesting from there. Alexander HAS slipped over the past few fights but I still think he has enough to outpoint Thurman and maybe enough power to hurt him as well.

          And you can get it too. Thurman will dominate Devon.

            I do hope this fight is really happening. It would be good for both.

              Devon clinched for dear life?? He beat the sh.it outta Maidana better than anybody.

                While there's no question about Devon's chin, there's also no denying he still gets visibly hurt and pretty much gets mentally thrown off because of it. After looking at his match with Soto Karass again recently, Devon looked like he was hurt by those body shots later on in the match and appeared be in a panic at times (another problem he consistently has). These will be MAJOR problems if he's up against Thurman, who's good with body shots himself and (in my opinion) hits harder than Maidana, Porter, and Soto Karass.

                I think Devon's only advantage over Keith is speed but in the end, he's still going to get caught and it may go downhill from there. I'm not saying he's going to get knocked out but he will be thrown off and likely in survival mode for most of the fight.
                All he has to do is box Keith and he will win. Devon also can shoot to the body well. I can see Devon taking Keith to the body and head like he did to Maidana.

                  That's assuming that just boxing Thurman is the way to win, in which we don't know at this point. Besides, Thurman has displayed some decent boxing skills of his own. Couple that with both his power and hand speed and Devon may end up taking a beating.
