I bet we see Matthysse - Maidana next.

Argentina vs. Argentina in Argentina?

Not to over rate devon but he might have actully improved since mathyse kotelniko bradley...oh what's the deal on devons cut

It's not overrating, he's def got the goods.
I honestly thought he would beat Bradley.
At 147 I can see him beating Mike Jones and both Berto & Ortiz.

Jones would be fun but he needs to get busy, make a statement first. Alexander is straight sharpshooting here but I'd still be concerned with Ortiz natural size and straight punches. He has def rebounded tonight...took control and dictated!

[TitoFan]

One-sided shutout.

would actually be a good fight, anyway I have it 9 rounds to 1 for Alexander, IMO he could have gotten the stoppage if he would have worked the body a bit more around the 6th

[Tam Seddon]

Devon was world class tonight, such a strong performance. He boxed very strong and had Maidana hurt twice tonight. He won every round in my opinion and I look forward to seeing him at 147. If he can put in peformances like this again he will be a threat at 147.

Did Bob say Maidana a better fighter than Matthysse? Smoker

Matthysse would KO Maidana within 5 rounds.

No argument about who won this fight. 100-90 - 100-90 and 99-91 all for Alexander.

Alexander is fairly humble in the interview, refreshing after watching the antics of Broner.

Totally wit that now. Matthysse should be on HBO

Nah but I thought he lost to kotelnik n mathyse wasn't really landin pullin his shots back to quick in this one he seemed to actually punch thru but id like to seem him in with a different type before I say he's Improved we've seen him look spectacular before against a straight forward slugger n then look crap against someone with skill

G'night bitches, and Missy, who didn't wake up to watch the fight.

Did you know that the only reason Mormeck got that fight is because I had open heart surgery in December?






Kidding.

Kidding.

I figured that was the reason they delayed it.

You think Mormeck has a snowball's chance in hell? I may have to pull for him just because it's such a mismatch.
