Can anybody see a way past Alexander for a clear under dog in Lee Purdy? Would love to see him do it but can not for the life of me see how he can get past the wrestling Devon in the U.S.A
Lee Purdy gets surprise last-minute welterweight boxing title shot against Devon Alexander, replacing injured stable-mate Kell Brook - Telegraph
Nope, be lucky if he sees the end in my book.
I would love to see anyone from any country beat Alaxander in any way possible.
Alexander is not a boxer, he is the one who should be on Dancing With The Stars, or whatever the show was that Victor Ortiz was on.
Grab them, spin them, hold them, hug them and throw just enough punches to stay ahead.
His fight with Randall Bailey was the worst pro fight I've ever seen and I've seen a bunch.
Hey, Devon! Are you ever going to start fighting like a man, or are you always going to look like a scared child in there? You are a joke! I'm ashamed of you!
Purdy has a chance if Alexander is forced to use one arm. Colin Lynes boxed Purdy's head off and floored him because he was taking so many shots. Alexander is boring as fuck but he's on a completely different level
Not a chance 4 round stoppage not ready for a top class world fighter !!
Only chance he has is if Alexander does something to get himself DQ. There's no other way
My friend Devon Alexander is an excellent boxer and imo has improved since going to 147. And who in their right mind is going to voluntarily agree to go fight Bailey in a phone-booth? I'd be asking for a 22 foot ring and using every square inch of it.Quote:

I think Devons chin may be a little suspect and his ability to cope with adversity. Purdy has some pop and needs to take this into the gutter and rough him up even at the risk of getting a point deducted. Alexander is another one of these fighters that gets rattled. Not to the extent of Khan but he can unravel. Problem is, Lee will probably have to deal with football field size ring. He has to track him down imo from the opening bell without being a complete idiot.Quote:

I've never seen Purdy. Have the slightest idea how he fights. But, hes a massive underdog...and after all it is Devon Alexander ;D.
The only logical conclusion I can arrive at off that is..WAR PURDY..and throw uppercuts like your life depends on it. You have all of nothing to lose.
If Alexander pulls a Jose Gonzalez and pulls out of a fight he is clearly winning, then yes, Purdy will be champion.
injury?
sniper?
For purdy to win he has to make it ugly and be seen as the aggressor. Hes already said devon holds too much but it would suit him if the fight in held at close quarters because if Devon is given room to box and move, purdy will be eating jabs and missing all night.
It would suit purdy if devon holds because that shows he is uncomfortable up close thats where purdy can let shots go and drag devon into an ugly mauling type of fight. Thats what tim bradley did and it broke alexanders heart. Lee purdy has gotta ask the same questions in a physical battle. The blueprint is the for purdy to follow. Rough him up from the start.
I would love it if he could. I think Devon will look a league above and too skilled.
I hope though it turns into a brutal war, he might have a chance then.
Weights: Peterson-Matthysse, Alexander, Purdy Over Limit - Boxing News
Purdy has came in a pound overweight, he has 2 hours to make the weight.
There is no way in hell that Purdy beats Alexander. This is a fight made to make Alexander look good for a Mayweather fight. That's it.

Purdy didn't make weight so it's a non title fight. I wonder what's happened there??
Tam, go to sleep, it is way past your bed time. Purdy should be shot for not making the weight.Quote:

Biggest fight of his life, past, present and future and he can't even make the weight. Should be ashamed of himself.
No he couldn't do it.Quote:
