We have many good fights to start the new year.. Thoughts?

[Galaxy]

I wouldn't mind seeing this fight, wasn't Malignaggi targeting Alexander?

I think Alexander could dominate this fight

[CFH]

Maidana won't win a round.

[Galaxy]

Maidana won't win a round.

I tend to agree, I really like Maidana but I feel Alexanders style is all wrong for him

[Ant Live]

Alexander punk out against Bradley. Although, he have good boxing skills, pressure will bust pipes. And Alexander don't like pressure.

Glad these 2 are fighting. Take away every gift opponent Mayweather had in mind.

Pacquiao might still be available I thought..

I like this fight to, Maidana isn't about to put rounds in the bag but I do feel he could get to Alexander if he really stays on him. Kind of depends where Alexander is at, he certainly has the tools and style to put a clinic on but I'm not sure he really likes to fight, if Maidana were to catch him with something big it could be really fun to watch.

maidana is more conistent with his pressure unlike mythese and he has a better shot with maidana.
Alexander better be up for this cuz maidana will be in his face all night punching and landind wherever he can.

I felt alexander lost that fight with mathyse as well as kotelnik, he throws punches and grunts but most of the time shit aint even landing, not even gloves or elbows. If maidana can apply and smarten up his pressure and straighten up his right a tad bit hell find alexander's chin all night and get him outa there somewhere late in the fight. Ill be rooting for mm but he better not let it go to the cards, specially if the shits in stl.

I don't know why Maidana is leaving 140. I understand why with Alexander because he is chasing big money. He arguably has three losses on his record right now. I thought he lost the fight with Kotelnik and Matthysse or at the very least, they were close.

I would have preferred Maidana versus Guerrero or Maidana, Rios or versus...gasp...Soto.

This is a fight where I'll be rooting for Maidana. It'll be interesting to see if Alexander is different at 147. Frankly, he lost his luster after losing to Bradley.

[rosco1984]

Not a fan ov Alexander can't forgive the way he shit him self against Bradley!pussy!maidana may b 1 ov the most limited top ranked fighters av ever seen but he can seriously bang!hopefully he catches Alexander and gets him out of ther!

[Pugilistic]

Alexander has imo, lost his last three bouts.

Alexander doesn't appear to deal with pressure fighters very well and Maidana is one of the hardest hitting pressure fighters at 140.

Alexander has alot to prove now and certainly has the boxing ability to box circles around Maidana though.

50/50 fight for me, can't pick a winner.

[Master]

I think Alexander should outbox Maidana as he is too fast and slick for him.

[ICB]

I think Alexander should outbox Maidana as he is too fast and slick for him.

He should of been took slick for Matthsye, Kotelnik, but he wasn't. Infact i think he lost both fights by a fair margin, if this is 10 rounds Devon Alexander maybe able to hold on and earn a controversial decision.

[Dia bando]

This is a interesting fight, Maidana not if but
when he catch's Alexander, I can't see it
going no more than 6 round's.
The winner Maidana.

Kotelnik fight was close, but Alexander DEFINATELY lost to Matthysse.

Maidana is a lot like Matthysse, but not quite as clever of boxer.
