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.
