    Default Amir Khan will fight Devon Alexander December 13th

    http://www.boxingscene.com/de-la-hoy...mber-13--83383

    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.

    But what does it prove for either fighter ? They should either be looking at title fights or Floyd/Manny fights. Both of these 2 are a loss away from obscurity . The loser will become a stepping stone for up and coming guys ( I reckon Alexander already is) and the winner, well so what?

    It's a warm up fight for a summer mega showdown with either Brook or Mayweather. Khan was first going to fight Lopez for this date and I'd agree that's pointless. 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.

    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.

    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.

    Its a nice style mash up and for all Alexanders inside grappling and ability to boil down a pace inside, Khan should do well with speed and keeping his head right. Thurman undercard? Thurman fight winner

    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.
