This is a great fight which I have been waiting for since their 140 days, I'm glad it's happening. This is a better fight than Lopez and it's a good name for Khan to potentially have on his record.
Standard Khan fight really. Non puncher, non champion. If Alexander did beat Khan , do you think they would bang on about him fighting Mayweather? I don't think so. Thurman on the same card, who's he fighting, and why isn't he fighting one of the above?
This fight goes well back and Alexander is a two weight champion and has lost twice. He's not average, it's a make sense fight IMO as both are at the crossroads of their careers.Quote:

But as I was saying before because of their past it's not a bad fight and I don't think Alexander is that bad and he's had some good careers wins.Quote:

Yea good enough fight, hopefully it doesn't turn into a clinchfest as I could see happening though. Alexander isn't consistent but he does pick spots very well now and then, and definitely has enough power. It should be interesting.
If you didn't mean him, you must've meant me! I'm heartbroken!!! ;)Quote:

looks a cracking card with Andrade v Charlo on the under card. Also have Thurman v Bundu which is a decent fight. Bradley fighting in Vegas same night on different show. Another decent looking card.Quote:

Andrade vs Charlo is a MUST see, two young guns hitting prime strides and both very sharp counter punchers. Should be a pleasure to see that play out.
Never seen Alexander fight
I'm all for a Brook showdown next May in UK so guess I want Khan to come through this one
I like the fight. Will be interesting to see how both guys deal with each other's speed. My initial thoughts are that Khan will win by duplicating his performance against Judah. The think with Khan, however, is that he is chinny and has a tendency to fight inconsistently. Devon is also inconsistent, and seems to prefer straight ahead brawlers ( Urango) to speedy guys (Bradley, Porter...etc). Guess I will be betting on Khan in this one, and I feel that it has the potential to be an exciting fight or a complete snoozefest.
Good match-up but it wont be a good fight. Got mess written all over it. Good card though.
Thurman v Bundu is for the mandatory for Brooks title. My guess is Brooks reign will be short lived. If Khan wins he will get the Mayweather fight. Brook Khan wont happen in May
Being the mandatory and actually enforcing the position are two different things. A few quid in the back pocket soon irons these things out.
If Thurman was forced to come over here to fight Brook that would be fantastic anyway.
is bondu the gadge who beat frankie gavin?
if he can make a dent in Thurman too that would be impressive wouldnt it
Khan can only fight Floyd in Spring or Summer due to ramadam religious fasting in autumn. If Khan took a Brook fight next year that fucks a Mayweather fight up for next year unless he fights Brook early in 2015. But if he lost to Brook he fucks up the Floyd fight as well surely.
I expect Khan to win in December but hope he doesn't headlock and hold his way to victory like he's getting in the habit of.
Exciting card all round and its gonna be setting things up for some massive fights in 2015 in the division.
This is a good fight not exciting. Devon is not a hard puncher whereas Thurman is. No way will Floyd fight Khan in May. :rolleyes:
Khan wants Floyd after Devon.
