    Devon losing to Bradley was a bad performance. He beat Maidana with more ease than Floyd but was out hustled by Porter. Devon should lose to Khan. He is ordinary by world class standards.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Come on now...

    Both Khan and Brook side stepped him and its because neither one of them matched up to a guy who could box with them was just as fast and came from the other side. Both Khan and Brook step straight back with the hands low.

    Little did Khan know at the time that he would have been fighting a guy that falls apart easier then he does under even minimal pressure or when things are not going his way. Both seem to share some odd sense of entitlement. Devons problems have never been his abilities. They all stem from his brain pan. He can fall apart from one clean shot even if its not a big one. There have been times when I have thought he could beat anybody followed by times I've wondered if he could beat my nephew.

    A crossroads fight for both men. Winner gets Brook after his mandatory perhaps? This is a pick um fight imo. I dont see any real advantage for either. Khan could get ko'd or Devon could get worked and lose a wide ud. Both of these guys are fragile so who knows.

    Its a good fight with 6 others being shown. Its a bummer Andrade pulled out but its still a good eve of fisticuffs.

    Amir Khan (29-3, 19 KO) vs Devon Alexander (26-2, 14 KO), welterweights, 12 rounds

    Jermall Charlo (19-0, 15 KO) vs Lenny Bottai (22-2, 9 KO), junior middleweights, 10 rounds
    Jermell Charlo (24-0, 11 KO) vs Mario Lozano (28-5, 22 KO), junior middleweights, 10 rounds
    Victor Ortiz (29-5-2, 22 KO) vs Manuel Perez (22-10-1, 4 KO), welterweights, 10 rounds

    Good card actually, might end up that most of those fights aren't competitive but still a bunch of reasonable names on the same bill. What the hell happened to Mares rematching Gonzales anyways? It's pretty hard to establish yourself as a top guy with a 1st round KO loss to an active champion.

    Is this Bundu guy THurman is fighting any good? I like Keith THurman, really have no idea how good he is and would like to see him in against a better boxer than he's fought. He's been in with some crude sluggers, but I get the sense he might be pretty well suited to fight a slick guy. He's definitely got skills, and his overall athleticism is impressive, he's fast, powerful, puts together some mean combos and seems accurate when he's got a man hurt. Dude should be in the mix to fight Floyd or Manny imo.

    He's ok. Kind of a spoiler. Getting a little long in the tooth at 40 but another late starter. Not a lot of power. I'm not sold on Thurman at all @p4pking. I think he might be a little late to the party to get a shot at Floyd or Manny but he is certainly being groomed to be in that takeover once those two are retired. I'd like to see him and Brook.

    Solid fighter, good resume for a 27yr old.

    I enjoyed watching him as a rookie that forced junior witter to quit.
    Urango was up in coming, so i also liked that fight as well.
    Bradley imo set the blueprint and proved Devon is a great gate keeper who has earned the right to fight the best, but will never beat the best.
