For purdy to win he has to make it ugly and be seen as the aggressor. Hes already said devon holds too much but it would suit him if the fight in held at close quarters because if Devon is given room to box and move, purdy will be eating jabs and missing all night.

It would suit purdy if devon holds because that shows he is uncomfortable up close thats where purdy can let shots go and drag devon into an ugly mauling type of fight. Thats what tim bradley did and it broke alexanders heart. Lee purdy has gotta ask the same questions in a physical battle. The blueprint is the for purdy to follow. Rough him up from the start.
