Marcos Maidana vs. Devon Alexander - Saturday night fight thread

Since they're in St. Louis, I think it's safe to say that two of the judges probably scored that a 10-8 round for Alexander :p.

A 10 round fight favors Alexander who tends to fade in fights. I figure Alexander will try to win most of the early rounds and then just coast in the later ones.

Maidana does not like Alexander's power.

I think Maidana is dinging Alexander with glancing shots...he holds everytime. This is going to get real gritty and street

I'm looking at some notes I have here...
The 1st time I saw Devon was vs. Cuevas in 2007 he looked impressive that night and I was fire. He's come a long way.

Here comes Maidana :o

Better round for Maidana.

I wish I had a decent stream that wasn't choppy as fuck.

I have Devon on a cleen sweep 3-0 thus far...

Alexander handled that last round well. But that cut over his right eye looks bad.

it looks like Maidana is doing most of the clinching, both guys are landing hard solid shots but Maidana isn't ever really as hurt as it looks, his balance just seems to be shit and he wobbles around even when not getting hit

a little cut on Alexander's right eyelid.

cunningham is a joke.

He doesn't have the best chin, just a lot of heart. He's been hurt in every major fight he has had.

If Maidana keeps leaning in face 1st he's gonna get caught...

am I the only one who's just feeling more and more impressed by what Morales was almost able to pull off last yr? haha
