Comments Thread For: Khan Shuts Down Alexander, Eyes Mayweather Shot

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

MGM Grand, Las Vegas - In a high stakes battle of former champions, Amir "King" Khan (30-3, 19KOs) shut down Devon Alexander (26-3, 14KOs) to win a convincing twelve round unanimous decision, and now is a likely candidate to face WBC/WBA welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. (47-0, 26KOs) in 2015. The scores were 119-109, 118-110, 120-108.

The first round saw a battle of speed. Khan had the edge but Alexander seemed to rattle him up with a few punches at the end of the round. In the second, Khan was throwing punches in bunches to prevent Alexander from getting inside. Alexander was spending too much time waiting on Khan, who often took the opportunity to get off with combinations during those moments. Khan continued to win the chess match of punches in the fourth, getting off first.

Devon is trash and another one of these "slick boxers" who have no skill against fighters who can control distance, have hand speed and have a high work rate..

Khan fought the perfect guy... a guy with no punching power... who never wants to engage or fight on the inside.. a Mayweather fight would be way different... Floyd would make Khan walk in to big lead shots...

Haters gonna hate but Khan was supreme tonight and merits big fights. He will always be vulnerable against big punchers - as he has an iffy chin - but his boxing skills are excellent, speed is 1st rate.

Delighted for him.

Seriously why are ppl acting like Devon was/is/has ever been a credible threat to Khan. Devon's style is perfect for Amir. Get in there with someone who actually presents a threat and isn't just good at fighting but actually "Exceptional" at something. Heard Keith Thurman was available to fight tonight...
